Emotional times, of course, but this morning my 2 and a half year old came to me and held me, saying i love you Mr Todd, patting my sorry head. He started calling me the always hungry, inept-but-fiendish fox from Peter Rabbit yesterday, whilst also pulling out my chest hair to feed to spiders...

Just back from the local cinema after seeing this again, and, ok i have said this before, but never again. It is a constantly depressing film all the way to the end. I find it agonising throughout, and even the ending i don't find just or joyful. That usually doesn't bother me, but shake me by...

We're right to have a bit of a go at players, and a manager, unable to put together a decent performance today, but jeez, Sheffield were a unit with a gameplan that I envy in a way. Such togetherness and understanding. I hope we can mix our style with their spirit and cohesion. Much-deserved...

So, my brother went vegan a few months ago, and lost about 2 stone in a flash. I thought, maybe i could return to that lifestyle too, after being it for a while in my teens. The problem i am having, though, is that i am perhaps going about it in a different/wrong way. Having a Vegan Magnum...

Is there an increase of such? Or are you just witness to it more by being at work less in the daytime? I say this as on buses on a Wednesday - my day off to be with Meade Jr - there tends to be a simmering quagmire of easily riled seniors. Last Wednesday, for instance, with sleeping Meade Jr in...

Not really a new quiz show, or the request to title an oncoming maelstrom. Just that within around 2 weeks Meade Jr is meant to appear. And the girlfriend and I are umming and ahing about what to bloody well name him. The mother of him is of the Spanish variety, so I was hoping from something a...

Alright there those in the housing botherment know. I have been trying to call CAB and Shelter for advice, but their lines are a bit on the WE'RE CHOCKABLOCK AND CANNAE HELP YOU RIGHT NOW side. The situation is that I am looking to terminate a tenancy a mere 2 weeks old. The landlord has agreed...

What a way to bore even seconds of a warm Sunday. My apologies. I am mildly bathed in uncertainty though. So, my situation is that after living where i live for about 8 years, the landlord declares he's looking to sell the flat, and would we move out by September 1st. Plenty of notice, but the...

So, my brother is bringing along, on Saturday, 5 young American chaps to get their first taste of beautiful south coast football AKA soccer. They'll be in the north stand, a little distance from me, and likely in the bar for a while before and after. I was asked by my brother for any particular...

I suppose the title of this, written by me, should really be something like Meade's Balls' Disliked Films of 2016. But, maybe i will begin with the thorough enjoyment of what might be a popular movie. No, afraid not. Although, one of the two thus far seen this year, weren't bad. I'll go in...

So I am at my piano lesson last evening, unpleasantly walloping keys tunelessly with my sausage fingers, when a whatsapp message arrives from my workmate, Sami. It is a photo of Bobby Z, sat on the underground opposite him, heading out West-London-wards. Bobby is wearing his Albion training...

I've had a lovely time in Lyon for the 48 hours before I arrived at the airport to fly home - I arrived early upon Easyjet's insistence that there could be a slight delay thanks to an airport rebuild. A message just over the tannoy to let me know that the replacement plane has just left Gatwick...

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/kennington-flooding-commuter-chaos-as-burst-pipe-plunges-busy-south-london-junction-underwater-10351910.html And who works in that white building in the middle of that shot? Meade does! And when has Meade been told to go back into work after being...

Now I'm not one to snipe at charitability, but my workplace this year has chosen Battersea Dogs Home as its Christmas charity. A perfectly reasonable place to donate to in times of affluence, but I am not wholly sure it's entirely appropriate in hours of continuous human need. I recall about...

NSC is a haven of world-weary travellers, so i dare now to appear and ask if anyone has any must-see sites in perhaps slightly rainy Porto for me to gawp at in amazement. Not been before, but the girlfriend did about 25 years ago last, so any modern developments there to recommend i'd be...

Sound necessary.

Sorry if it's already been displayed, but here anyway. I don't know why it's so much more acceptable than that little Leeds grunt. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2258430/Ruud-van-Nistelrooy-dressed-King-Balthazar.html

BORGEN series 2 is about to start!!! Nothing outdoes the Danish political drama. Thank you BBC4.

Just went to BBC iPlayer to see what films they have on there to watch right now. The images next to Halloween H20 and Girl With a Pearl Earring are there, as is one for Safari. The rest but one are all blank. So, the only one remaining is for Wreckers, an eerie British film with Benedict...
