Teenager Growing Pains – What Were YOU Doing When You Were Fourteen?
If I think about it, I’m probably writing this post not out of pure desperation, but as a therapy. This is my way of trying to convince myself that things are not as bad as they seem. I mean, what could be wrong? My wife has gone away for two days to attend a Catholic […]
City End Up 32 Points Ahead Of United

Make Someone Happy – Take Buzby Huawei!
Little did I know that I was carrying a time bomb in my back pocket. It’s a Huawei P9, a smart little phone (forgive the pun!) whose makers have the potential to cause a lot of us a lot of trouble. Gone are the days when we had to phone the local butcher to make […]
Auschwitz – Des Gens Ordinaires, Des Vies Extraordinaires
