I’m a rugby referee. Our community is small, but because of what we do, very very welcoming to anyone who does it.

It’s been a year. I think I’m at the stage of life where I just take whatever life gives me, good or bad, and just keep truckin’ along. My neuropsych released me from his care. The end result is that my brain […]

In no particular order: Life lessons – including team work, and perservering through adversity, and concentrating on the right things. It keeps me in reasonably good nick. Everywhere I’ve traveled, I’ve […]

I’ve been a fan since 1988 when Chris Purdie and his sister introduced me to them. I in turn introduced my Dad to them. My collection is just about complete, to the point I did a review of the farewell gig […]

You may very well think that. I couldn’t possibly comment.

Having conducted more than my fair share of sexual harassment investigations professionally,, concur 100%. Even in the most clear cut of cases, it was possible to tell how difficult it was for some of them.

In a three year period with United – the company where this fella was – I had these experiences: Forced change of insulin to a poorer one. Denial of ER admission coverage. Lying to me over the phone about […]

Someone posted this in another thread: “If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people.” Words to live by, eh.

Based on the health-related places in which I lurk, there isn’t much sympathy going around.

If I’m forced to post the clarifications to someone’s else’s post in order that their post isn’t as misleading as intended, what would you call it? It certainly wasn’t the whole truth, was it? Bullying? […]

My understanding is that a wrap was issued in the form of a warning.

“If stones are bring slung then Kirsty Wark needs to be very careful. She aggressively attacked Alex Salmond about alleged sexual impropriety – something he was acquitted of in a court of law.” You’re trying t […]

It might not be proven, but it is my opinion. It’s misleading by omission. I don’t believe the omission to be an accident.

Allegations of unwanted physical contact. Wandering around naked except for a sock on his…you can fill in the rest. If TV shows are NDAing participating, someone’s done something bad.

You’re being dishonest. A large number of Obama pardons were for non-violent drug offences. Trump pardoned his son-in-law’s father who had been convicted of tax evasion, and convicted war criminals amongst […]

We used a Volvo electric car last December when visiting my son. My exact words were ” we are not doing that again”

The Lark(s) are good, but seem to me to be whisky-with-a-twist. We have a bottle at home to consume before we leave, but I’m not sure I’d buy another one, especially at that price point.

Oh mate. You’re not annoying 🙂

We went to Oban distillery on the last holiday and did 2 tastings there. There are some very nice offerings.
