In modern times Hollywood movies tell us it’s the day of wonderful magical moments where people are kind, everyone is happy and we come together to exchange gifts and make everyone around us happy.

I hope that somehow, by luck or by chance, this message finds its way in front of you and that you find time to read it – as highly unlikely as it might be for that to happen.

Countdown Timer to The Unknown

I have created a countdown timer. But I’m not telling anyone what it relates to. Why? Well, the fact that only I know is part of the fun.

Secrets and Lies. The Joys of Relationships

There are many unfathomable secrets in this universe. Some people wonder about what awaits us after this mortal life is over. Others dream of the far reaches of space, or what lies at the bottom of the ocean. Only one thing truly intrigues me. And that is – exactly what the truth is with one of my ex’s, her son and the chances of me being his biological father.

Thanks for the mention, Florence.

There’s something weird in the air right now. Ever since I rebuilt my ‘official website’ and started to push the Drinkwater brand, I’ve been noticing a LOT of coincidental moments.

Love songs. They’re amazing aren’t they? They encapsulate all the feelings and emotions that we go through when we’re in (and out of) love with people.

Do What You Like Doing

Like Driving in the Countryside

Once upon a time, way back when I was in school, someone once told me that “You can learn to like what you’re good at, but it’s more rewarding to get good at what you like doing”. And that was pretty much the only thing that I ever took from school. I absolutely hated the […]

Fresh starts, new beginnings

Salford Quays Media City New Day

I’ve decided it’s time to start over new, begin afresh. Clean slate and all that jazz. I’ve created my own personal-brand website before, but had shut it down a couple of years ago after I got bored. That happens a lot. And remaking things when I decide to try again – that happens a lot […]

It probably hasn’t escaped many people’s notice that there is a conversation going on in the UK right now about the BBC / TV licence fee. And I decided that as I have 5 minutes to spare, I’m going to stick my opinion in, even though nobody asked for it. Many, many years ago when […]
