It’s Time for Change! | Middle Man

https://caughtinthemiddleman.wordpress.com/2015/05/10/its-a-time-for-change

It’s Time for Change! May 10, 2015 at 5:25 pm. But, at least with Ed Balls (result! Vince Cable (shame) and Nigel Farage (result! All now out of work, I am really looking forward to an excellent series of Celebrity Big Brother this year. And, your local pantomime will have no difficulty filling the role of the baddy this Christmas…. But, I didn’t mean politics. I meant personal. No, my motivation is personal. It is an ever-expanding waistline and an increasing reluctance to look at the bathroom scale...

Dunkirk Spirit | Middle Man

https://caughtinthemiddleman.wordpress.com/2010/05/27/dunkirk-spirit

May 27, 2010 at 8:05 am. Winston Churchill, House of Commons, 4th June 1940:. This week sees the 70th anniversary of the evacuation of 338,000 British, French, Polish, and Belgian troops from the beaches and harbour at Dunkirk. Today, 50 of the original flotilla of small, private boats that helped ferry the survivors of the retreat to and Battle of Dunkirk, are making the return trip across the English Channel to commemorate the event. But what of the Dunkirk Spirit today? Is it alive and kicking? When I...

M6 – The Haunted Motorway | Middle Man

https://caughtinthemiddleman.wordpress.com/2008/10/27/m6-the-haunted-motorway

M6 – The Haunted Motorway. October 27, 2008 at 11:12 am. Does anyone know anything about the ghost that apparently haunts the M6 motorway around junction 17 at Sandbach. The story goes that a Scottish Army was camped near the site of the now derelict Saxon Cross Hotel, which is just off the M6 junction 17, while retreating from the Battle of Worcester. There are often claims that the M6 is the most haunted road in Britain. And I would so like the story to be true, but I can find no information on the web...

The weather is…….changeable | Middle Man

https://caughtinthemiddleman.wordpress.com/2015/04/18/the-weather-is-changeable

The weather is…….changeable. April 18, 2015 at 5:48 pm. The weather in the UK right now is, as they say all too often, changeable. It is the time of year when we Brits face the perennial challenge of what to wear? Should we wear a light jacket, a heavy jacket, or no jacket at all? Should we carry an umbrella or leave it at home? Wednesday saw the hottest day of the year, with 25 degrees being registered in central London. And, I should know. Because I was there. C responded, most sympathetically, and I r...

Lest We Forget – One Hundred Years On…. | Middle Man

https://caughtinthemiddleman.wordpress.com/2014/11/09/lest-we-forget-one-hundred-years-on

Lest We Forget – One Hundred Years On…. November 9, 2014 at 10:38 am. Just three years earlier, Albert had been living with his parents and two siblings, above his father’s. So, no doubt accompanied by his colleagues and friends, perhaps sporting their Sunday best, Albert volunteered and joined the 42nd Territorial Division as a Sapper in the Royal Engineers. The cruiser Minerva, part of the escort for the voyage to Egypt. The convoy manged to evade enemy ships off Portugal and one week after leaving Eng...

The people can’t be trusted….. | Middle Man

https://caughtinthemiddleman.wordpress.com/2015/05/11/the-people-cant-be-trusted

The people can’t be trusted…. May 11, 2015 at 8:10 pm. There is a very good reason why most contestants on the TV quiz show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire put more value on their “phone a friend” option than they do their “ask the audience”. It’s because an audience cannot be trusted to know anything more important than who really killed/fathered/slept with/all of the above with whoever on Eastenders, Coronation Street or Hollyoaks. Greater austerity, a war on welfare, more food banks, scapegoating all im...

https://caughtinthemiddleman.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/what-does-an-eye-taste-like

What Does An Eye Taste Like? May 28, 2008 at 9:50 am. I like to think of my dashboard as a bit of a barometer on the state of the world. So, what do you make of today’s top ten? The ten top search engine terms which found my blog so far this morning are as follows:. 2) Kylie Minogue legs. 3) “Louise Minchin”. 4) Neighbours constant loud music. 5) Neighbours from hell. 6) Air France leg room. 7) Sally James school uniform. 8) What does an eye taste like? 9) Female prefect caned. 10) Cat Deeley topless.

As Time Goes By…..Quickly | Middle Man

https://caughtinthemiddleman.wordpress.com/2015/05/01/as-time-goes-by-quickly

As Time Goes By….Quickly. May 1, 2015 at 11:41 am. Where did all the time go? Why does time move faster the older we get? It is May 1st. Already. Spring has sprung and the second quarter of this year is upon us. Already. It can’t be so, can it? We’ve only just finished washing up after Christmas dinner. Surely? We’re fresh back from that New Year mini-break in Doha. Surely? That go-live deadline I signed up to in January can’t be up this weekend. Surely? And, apparently that is part of the problem….

Jeremy Corbyn is a principled man. I get it. He is a democratic socialist. I get it. He is loyal to his supporters. I get it. But, he’s not too bright is he? Let’s forget all the flimflam about wearing a tie, bowing to the Queen and singing the National Anthem. That just means he’s scruffy, rude and unpatriotic. Not the most endearing of characteristics but not worth hanging the guy for. Maybe. In fact he’s not much of a team player at all is he? Indeed, he is the second most rebellious Labour MP of all ...
