things that just really take the biscuit
Graduation weekend was not at all what I expected. I didn’t attend university, opting for a bank account of money, as opposed to a twenty-seven thousand pound debt. However, each to their own. Three years ago my sister was accepted into Manchester Metropolitan University and graduated 22nd July 2019. Although I am extremely proud of …
I’ve had bare minimum sleep. I’m late for work and I’m stuck on a train, in a tunnel. Disgustingly hot and sweaty. Pressed up against a stranger. What a Monday morning. What’s worse is I know this is all bullshit. I received an update from my trainline at 00:02 explaining there are signalling issues for …
“Sorry, I’m late, though they do say: if you’re not late, you’re not important! HAHAHAHAHA. Still, I do have 25 minutes left to speak, though that’s probably 15 minutes more than I actually need. HAHAHAHAH” Following their unamusing jokes, they continue to talk about how the company is doing so well, how positive things are. …

Stepping onto the disease-ridden metal box to commute to work is …
This is my first guest author post, and although I’ve stolen it from text messages, I did ask permission – so it counts. The conversation started out, about a fantastic podcast by Victor Pride on Bold and Determined. Victor shared a parable, similar to a Sufi story – which will be one of the posts …

As almost all of us are aware of the sugar tax that came into the UK, April 2018. This creates a lot of conversation starters, but in an …
This morning I arrived at my local train station on time, for a change. The train was scheduled for 7.16, though it was inevitably cancelled. It’s been twenty minutes and I still have two minutes to wait. My feet are freezing. The only positive thought I have, is a full moon glowing beautifully across the …
This post was going to be on a completely different topic, however I caught myself in the act of a disgusting habit I have picked up and had to post on it. Fear not, I shall write my other post, but all in due time!
