Do They Really Need To Tell Me That?

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 30 Aug 23

I've noticed that there seems to be a large number of what I would consider unnecessary information signs on the roads in the UK. I've lost count of the number of times I've been sat in a traffic jam, barely moved for half an...

First Impressions

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 28 Aug 23

Prior to starting my (not very) new job last Monday I had been freelancing for the company for over 2 years. During this time I worked totally from home, never once setting foot in the company offices which are some 120 miles from...

Same Old Same Old (Part 2)

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 21 Aug 23

Today I started my new job. All very new and exciting I hear you say. Well... I got out of bed at the same time and jumped in the shower as I always do. I went downstairs and poured myself a coffee, as is my wont. I then went...

Same Old Same Old

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 20 Aug 23

Since women's football started to become a bit of a thing I've often heard it said that it's completely different to the men's game. England have a chance of winning things they said. The players don't roll around on the floor...

If Brains Were Dynamite...

For those of you not acquainted with the UK we have a protest group calling themselves Just Stop Oil who, as the name suggests, are trying to get us all to stop using oil and other fossil fuels. Their usual modus operandi in the...

They Can Do It When They Want To

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 15 Aug 23

I don't know about anyone else but the thought of flying anywhere these days fills me with dread. It's not that I'm afraid of flying, it's just that I hate the whole process of paying a fortune to be treated like cattle. The...

So, Who Do I Complain To?

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 14 Aug 23

Sorry to revert to stereotype but I'm going to talk about the weather. Due to Manchester's unique geographical location it experiences rather a lot of rainfall. This is perfect for cotton mills (bit of history there) and ducks...

Well That Was A Long Break!

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 13 Aug 23

It's been a while but it's nice to see many of the old (and some not so old) faces still around since I last set foot in these hallowed halls. Can websites be called halls? Can any website be described as hallowed? Is it possible...

Give Me A Sign

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 13 Jul 22

While driving along one of the main roads near me I noticed that the cats eyes had been removed from the road. Unusually observant of me you may think but I can't take the credit. The clue was in the large road-sign proclaiming...

Halitosis Epidemic in Foxes

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 12 Jul 22

Researchers, who clearly have nothing better to do, have discovered that dog poo now forms a large part of the diet of foxes in the UK. Considering dog owners are supposed to pick up after their dog and dispose of the poo...

Is It Wrong?

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 9 Mar 21

Is it wrong for me to think Presidential Climate Envoy John Kerry is a hypocrite for lecturing governments on how they should be reducing carbon emissions after having taken a transatlantic flight to London in order to deliver...

I Still Can't Believe This

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 5 Mar 21

I was reminded of this particular incident while reading the swimming discussions recently posted by @JudyEv . About 15 years ago my son was taking part in a swimming gala for all of the regional boy scout troops. Everyone...

OK, So You Were All Right!

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 4 Mar 21

Over the years I've lost count of the number of times my realism and practicality have been labelled as me being negative. Well, all of those colleagues, managers, friends, family, wife, kids and those who have stopped me in the...

Alas Poor Vino, I knew It Well.

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 3 Mar 21

I enjoy a nice cup of coffee in bed when I wake up in the morning. It gives me a bit of a kick to get my tired old body going. Sadly, this morning I was very disappointed. Mrs. WorDazza had replenished our coffee supply yesterday...

A Sign Of The Times

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 19 Feb 21

So I'm upstairs in my bedroom, late at night, when I hear a noise downstairs. Hugo the dog is in the bedroom so it can't be him and unless the cats have put on several tens of kilograms it's highly unlikely to be them. Spurred on...

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 27 Jan 21

I was recently made aware of a quite astonishing statistic. Since the beginning of the pandemic the ten richest men in the world have seen their wealth increase by a total of 400 billion dollars. Now remember, that's not what...

Well I Never!

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 25 Jan 21

Today I learnt something new and I'm not sure I really wanted to. It sneaked up on me while I was watching a quiz show. Just thrust its way into my sitting room without so much as a by your leave. Maybe the fact itself isn't...

Watch Out There's A Thief About

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 21 Jan 21

I was browsing a well known video hosting web site when I came across a video posted by someone who is doing the same online guitar course I'm doing. When he was talking about his comparatively slow progress he used a quote, which...

Prior to my much anticipated (and tragically abbreviated) retirement in December 2019 I was a worth a small fortune. Dead! My employer offered a generous death in service benefit which, upon my untimely demise whilst in their...

My Bid To Become Poet Laureate

WorDazza @WorDazza (15830) • Manchester, England 10 Nov 20

Some of you may remember, that driven by the sheer boredom of lockdown, I started to write some poetry. I posted one or two here but did actually write a few more which never got to see the light of day. I happened across them...
