From the title, you may assume this is a list of new year's resolutions. That is very much not the case. I do think wanting to better ourselves and having the means and motivation to do so is inherently part of what makes us human. But stubbornness and resistance are...
Well folks that's it- the Chibbers era of Doctor Who is over. And despite leaving the show with more loopholes than Moffat has created in his entire writing career, I think he went out with a bang. As I watched the show, I was writing small notes, so here's my take on...
One of my autistic traits is that I’m very much an all-in or all-out kind of person. A key example of this is that I can’t watch a TV show unless I see it from start to finish. I simply refuse to dip in and out. Even if it’s a sitcom designed to be viewed as a whole and as individual episodes, I need to see it all. The problem with this is that when I get obsessed, I get truly obsessed. And over the past few years, there are a lot of hobby-based rabbit holes that I’ve fallen into. Things I’ve decided I want to do and spent an absolute fortune on before realising it was the idea I liked and not the actual ‘thing’.

I've loved football for as long as I can remember. It was something my dad drilled into me from the moment I was born and although over the years it has brought a lot of heartaches, I'm so glad that he did. Tonight really does feel like the start of a new era, an era...
Ever since I built this site I've stayed very on-brand with what I've written. However, when setting up my dad's website a few months back, I was reminded of something. Once upon a time, writing wasn't just about getting important messages out to the world, it was...
At the start of 2020, I made a conscious decision not to make any resolutions. Not to set any goals or aims but rather, for the first time ever, to simply go with the flow. This was a difficult decision for me to make. All my life I've planned everything. But after...
I’ve wanted to write a blog about my relationship with The Killers since they released their sixth studio album. So here is a rundown of my feelings about each of their albums and some insight into my favourite songs.
Right now our entire country is mourning. Not because of COVID or some other catastrophe, but simply because an actress has died. Dame Barbara Windsor was and still is, considered to be a National Treasure. This is a concept, which to me, feels very British. It...
This is one of several blogs I've been writing in my head for months now. But I feel it is finally time to fine-tune and post it for all the world to see. As memes and graphic tees have been reminding us for years, there are three things that humans are naturally...
