I am unhappily married. My wife and I are recently separated. Separated from this world and the next in fact.
I knew she was being unfaithful to me for some time. She was struggling to lose weight, so I paid for a membership at a local gym with a personal trainer. My suspicions became...

It was cold. Two days after Christmas. There was a layer of frost on the ground under my wellington boots.
I had bought a metal detector for my eldest son, who was 12, for Christmas. The big kid in me wanted to have a go with it first while he was still asleep. Of course I...

Bruce finished work early at the car showroom as it was Friday afternoon. He always found he lost his edge when it came to flogging motors at this time of the week, when his mind was on the night ahead. He felt lucky tonight.

I remember seeing Thomas Dolby’s promo video for ‘Hyperactive’ in 1984. I was blown away by it. Even at the formative age of 10, I knew I had to hear it again, right away. I had never bought a record before. The next moring I went down to the newsagents, with my £1.25 pocket...

It was the summer of 1995 and I had turned 21 a few months earlier. I had a quite a bit of cash that my Dad, and other relatives, had given me for my birthday. My friend Phil had been to Israel and Egypt the previous year and I had listened, enviously, to his stories of the amazing things he'd...

When I was thinking of a name for this site, I wanted something that could have a number of different meanings.
I wanted to say something about myself, my work and my story. I'm not going to get a violin out, but I have had a lot of setbacks along the way. Life goes on though and I'm still...

I arrived at London Euston with some high expectations of the cycle friendliness of the mean streets of the Capital. So with A to Z in bum pocket I headed south in the general direction of my hotel in Drury Lane.
My first impressions were pleasing. There was next to no traffic due to the...

On Monday evening I went out for a ride, as always, and decided to go to The Pilgrim pub by the Art College in Liverpool. My cousin had sent me an invite for a gig night of four 'brutal death metal' bands in the function suite upstairs.
I had been into hardcore, industrial and new wave punk...
