Astonishing legroom.

When they aren’t on strike or being bailed out by the Government, National Express trains are pretty swanky. Free Wi-fi, an in-flight (on rail) magazine – LiveWire! – and power supplies for laptops and mobiles. But I’ve just discovered a seat on the train with at least 15% extra legroom in standard class. It’s about [...]

Apocolypse over Stevenage.

Friday. Cloudy. Just before the rain. Quite heavy rain at that. And thunder. And pinkish lighting. Oh well, the fact that I’ve posted this and both of you have read this proves that the world didn’t end after all. It was just a few clouds. But it was a close call. Consider it a warning.

Holiday in Danesgate and Southgate.

Just when Parking in Stevenage was in danger of becoming boring and monotonous (the very thought!) Stevenage Borough Council set about shaking things up by introducing tree-lopping season. They put a little sign up to warn us that Swingate would have much fewer spaces for a couple of days, so on Tuesday I paid a [...]

Whatever your level…

I little something I’ve been overseeing at work. It’s a short film to encourage teenage lads to keep playing footie when they leave school behind. It’s an almost an exact shot-for-shot spoof of (or homage to) the Nike ‘Take It To The Next Level’ ad from a couple of years ago. I can’t claim too [...]

For some reason, Sony Ericsson have decided to target me personally. Everywhere I go I see the same ads for the same product, the Sony Ericsson W995 Walkman phone. And the thing is, I already know everything there is to know about this phone – I’ve been working on the campaign myself for the last [...]

5 things you never knew about Duncan Norvelle.

I was curious to know if he was gay or not, given that his whole routine was based around limp-wristed campery. Let’s face it: you are too. Read on, dear reader!

Nuthin’ but Swingate.

I dunno. Life used to be a little more exciting than this. I started this whole blog because I was living on a knife-edge (you’re never far from one in Stevenage). I have 5 car parks to park in – FIVE, I tell you! It used to be like Russian Roulette with a Ford Focus [...]

A very unambitious ambition.

How much fun can you have Parking in Stevenage? I done the ‘using my pass to raise the barrier while not quite stopping’ trick – and to be fair, I quite impressed myself. I’ve done the ‘birdlime experiment’. What’s left? Well, for my next trick, I’m going to try and park in every spot in [...]
