I didn’t hear the windows in my hall of residence rattle. Didn’t hear the trees getting ripped out of the ground. Even the flying bench that blew a hole in the refectory doors…I slept through it. Heck, I didn’t even twig next morning when I stepped out onto campus! Trees uprooted? I figured the council had sent […]

Are you a feast ‘n’ famine business? Always frantic, but still only one job away from nothing to do? Your staff might like the downtime…but for you as the owner, it’s not much fun! You’re drowning in work one minute, never coming up for air. Slaving through weekends, and going mad through lack of sleep… …Till

30 years ago this month, I learned this vital lesson: We all have our natural talents…and some things, we’re just not meant to do. See, I was in a friend’s garden. A happy time. We’d just sat our final A Level exams, the guitar was out and the barbie was flaring. All good. Until Val,

Hammy the Hamster hadn’t moved for 3 days. He just lay there, at the bottom of his cage. Not eating. Not drinking. Not working out on his little wheel. Nothing. He was totally still. But, he was breathing. Ever so slightly. His owner took him to the vet. And when she took him out of

When was the last time you Googled your own name? It’s okay – I know you do it. You’re not the only one who’s vain and shallow, you know. My last time was 2013. And just between us, I laughed so hard I spat my cornflakes out. As they flew across the brekkie bar, I

I’ve never done my family tree – but I’ve got a hunch, I’m part vampire. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t go out biting innocent virgins. (I live in the South Wales valleys – they’re pretty scarce in these parts). But I do have good reason for thinking Dracula was my granddad. First off, I
