Jeeves’ Christmas Carol | Sloopjonb

Jeeves’ Christmas Carol. Jeeves’ Christmas Carol. December 24, 2016. January 8, 2017. A little festive jeu d’esprit, written in a spirit of sincere homage to the late Master, P. G. Wodehouse. Enjoy. The thing began when I happened to mention to Jeeves that I planned to spend the Christmas holidays at The Byres, country home of the Wintercombe family. I tried to be bright and offhand about it, but I confess I was a trifle nervous at broaching the subject. The next thing that happened in connection with th...

Here are some ideas for books I have found useful, broken down into categories for your comfort and convenience.

January 1, 2017. One of the things I did in 2016 was to finish one of the two novels I have been writing for most of the last two years. Would you like me to tell you all about it? Oh Well, tough. I’m going to tell you all about it anyway. The story is … a romance, a comedy, a thriller, and a tragedy. But for the purposes of general classification, I call it a fantasy, inasmuch as the action is set in the imaginary land of Tenaria. The story is not … a. And I will provide you with an e-book copy to the f...

Whip-Smart: Fingerless Gloves
http://whip-smart.blogspot.com/2014/11/fingerless-gloves.html
Tuesday, 25 November 2014. I've never understood the appeal of fingerless gloves. They certainly don't look cool and they don't have any practical benefit over fingered gloves. The fingers are the parts of the hand that get cold the most. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. This Is My Jam. Drinks Are On Me! Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

Whip-Smart: Destiny
http://whip-smart.blogspot.com/2014/11/destiny.html
Sunday, 9 November 2014. I've not blogged much lately. Where have I been? Destiny, the new game from Bungie, the makers of (most of) the Halo games, has been super-hyped ever since its announcement, whenever that was (I can't be bothered to check) and is set to be one of the biggest selling games of the year. The story itself is a bit non-existent. You seem to be awaken (from death? Overall, Destiny is a bit of a let down. It has many things going for it: the excellent controls, smooth gameplay and m...

Whip-Smart: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare
http://whip-smart.blogspot.com/2014/11/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare.html
Monday, 10 November 2014. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. I wasn't going to get this game. The previous CoD game, Ghosts, was terrible, and revisiting the older CoD games (as I've done since I got a PS3) has been kind of annoying as they've all been hacked/modded and are flooded with cheats who ruin any kind of enjoyment of playing multiplayer on them. Multiplayer is always the big draw for CoD games though, and I've played it quite a bit over the past week. Firstly, the maps are pretty decent. T...Overa...

Whip-Smart: December 2013
http://whip-smart.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, 8 December 2013. The big adventure of my week was my trip to Tesco in Hanley, a magical place filled with wonder and excitement. And tinned foods. Lost in a myriad of aisles, like pews in a church of capitalism, I ventured forth, purchasing foodstuffs. And snacks. Which you probably can't do in a church, though I may be wrong, and often am. I wasn't ready to go into the clothing section or opticians and don't know if I ever will be. That was a step too far. The temple of doom. I had a chil(l)i co...
