The Rise and Rise of Tim Lovejoy: Benefits Street
http://theriseandriseoftimlovejoy.blogspot.com/2014/02/benefits-street.html
Monday, 10 February 2014. If you live in the UK, you probably already know about the Channel 4 programme 'Benefits Street', a documentary series which has attracted an awful lot of attention and controversy over the past month or so. Callum is, to be polite, a problem. Over the course of the episode we see Callum demanding a bowl of cereal at midnight, not going to bed until 5am, not going to nursery because? Now Mark might not know what the capital of Andorra is, or the square root of 225, but he's not ...

Wednesday, 2 January 2013. New Year, New Me! Tis the season for people to make ridiculous resolutions, resolutions which they can't/don't even bother trying to manage, so why should I be any different? Here's a few that I've thought up off the top of my head. Some are more serious than others. 1) Get a job - standard. 2) Do some voluntary work - good for the CV, gets me doing stuff, makes me seem a lot more charitable than I actually am. 8) Watch every Al Pacino movie - can this be done in a year? 10) Cu...

Friday, 21 September 2012. Well, well, well, what do you know? You wait over a month for a blog entry and then two come along at once. TRAROTL is the blogging equivalent of buses, something which Will Self so eloquently whined back when I met him at a drinks reception in 2010. Complaints by us lefties wouldn't be right. That's the title, and it's one that caught my eye because, based on his previous muck, there's no way this dude is a "leftie". So, a few people call you carrot-top? Little Donkey" now, fo...

Monday, 9 December 2013. I wrote that bit before Saturday's game, so the "latest twist" is another 1-0 home defeat, this time to Newcastle, why aye mon). United HAVE to get a Top Four finish. HAVE to, because their business plan is based on continued success. You get Top Four, you get into the Champions League, which = lots of ££££, your good players wanting to stay, and the continued ability to attract the big name players from elsewhere. At this moment in time we've lost 5 games out of 15, and are 7 po...

Tuesday, 8 January 2013. Before I begin - I am not a doctor. I never have been, and I never will be. I do not speak for doctors as a whole, nor any doctor in particular. Everything in this blog post is simply my own outside opinion. I might be wrong, but it is what it is. I thank you very much. But I'm unsure. The literature is in bold, my thoughts in this normal font. DOCTOR FIRST IS COMING TO *INSERT TOWN NAME HERE* MEDICAL PRACTICE! Interesting. Let's read more. What is Doctor First? I (and everyone e...

The Rise and Rise of Tim Lovejoy: I Miss Her
http://theriseandriseoftimlovejoy.blogspot.com/2013/10/i-miss-her.html
Tuesday, 8 October 2013. I miss her smile. So cute and pretty. I miss her dad. Even if he supports City. Our favourite Italian food. I miss being with her. I miss The Wrekin View. But not the hill to it. I miss their quiz machine. Even when it went shit. I miss her at the quiz. I miss kissing her. Over and over again. I miss her hair. I miss how she made me feel. In love and so dizzy. I miss her accent. Dawley", "bath" and "looks". I miss our shared interests. Books, books, more books. I miss teasing her.

Sunday, 24 March 2013. The Day We Caught The Train. It is 7:50am, and I'm standing on a cold platform (serious question - why are railway stations ALWAYS cold? Having now become a dab hand at this "commuting" lark, I know I won't get a seat, so I decide to not bother trying and instead take the next best option - to lean on the nice cushioned thingy just by the doors where a commuter can leave his/her bike. Meh, it'll do. I pull my phone out of my pocket, and fire off a quick "good morning! I have no mea...

Thursday, 7 February 2013. That's official, by the way. If you go by the BMI Calculator (which has its critics but for simplicity's sake let's run with it) I have a BMI of 27.4, as I'm exactly 6ft and I currently weigh between 14-15 stone (I'm 202 pounds, to be precise). The BMI Categories are as such:. Normal weight = 18.5 to 24.9. Overweight = 25 to 29.9. Obese = 30 or more. So a calculation of 27.4 means I'm smack bang in the middle between "normal" weight and obesity. So what do I do about this?
