Absence Apology

Oh boy, I am so sorry. You may have noticed I have not been posting for a while. I took a little time off around my birthday and chose not to post. I can take a break can’t I?
The good news is that I am now back. The bad news is that the amount of […]

Tears of Incredulity

What utter Baracks. Obama has done it then. Senator Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States. It is an historic victory that is being heralded as ‘A New Dawn’. All aboard the victory bus as we do the dance of power and kick the future in the head. So, is this history?
You […]

Barry’s Bits #2

Hi folks. Baz Barry Baritard Barrington here again, everybody’s favourite brown bear impersonator. Nelson is still trying to catch up. It’s his own fault for taking a couple of days off work. What a silly sausage.
My fishing trip down the Regent’s Canal with the one and only Dr Keith Moon ended in a splash and […]

Barry’s Bits

Hi,
Barry Barrington here, the Alaskan salmon fishing, tree dwelling brown bear. I’m just here to make a guest appearance and let you know that Nelson is very busy. I can see him in the corner, typing manically with sweat pouring out of his head and underarms. Oh dear, he is scowling at me now, he […]

Bear With Me

There’s a bear with me. Really, a big brown beast of a thing and it is trying to catch scudding salmon in its mouth whilst standing in a roaring river in Alaska. Seeing the massive sharp grasping claws I remember that the bear’s name is Barry . . . Barry Barrington to be exact. He […]

Faffing Time Waster

The Learning and Skills Council have today released the results of a survey of 1,600 adults showing that most believe they waste time. Nearly half claim to spend between two and three hours a day just ‘faffing around’.
Time is a very precious thing and I believe there is not enough of the stuff; it falls […]

The Light Shines Out of Me

I had a rather unpleasant pain experience whilst evacuating myself this morn. No, not like that. I was sat on the toilet, reading the NME, dreading the coming working day and contemplating how fusion power could revolutionise energy production, when I heard an ominous sound. This time it was not my bowels but was emanating […]

Why Does it Always Rain On Me?

It has now officially been over a week of constantly getting wet. Every time I go outside, which I try to keep to a minimum, it has rained . . . heavily. This is not a new thing, I have always had a big black rain cloud hovering directly above my lovely head. It has […]

Repetition Repetition Repetition

Do you ever feel like every day is just the same?
The new working week dawns and one is wishing for the end of the week. The work never changes, the routine never wavers. It is the same drudgery day-in and day-out. As one day seeps into the next you just wish your life away. Before […]

Oranges are the Only Fruit

A recent report has discovered that oranges are fast becoming a rather unpopular fruit. Due to the haste of modern living, there is not enough time to sit and peel an orange. The citrus has become too labour intensive and is now very much out of favour with the modern workforce.
Well, let me tell you, […]
