Well, she’s dead then …. Forgive me whilst I get out the world’s smallest violin. You’ll probably know by now that I’m a Socialist with Anarchistic tendencies & was a child brought up throughout Thatcher’s era (mostly in Northern England) – there should therefore be no surprises about how I feel about today’s death – [...]

OK, here’s the thing. We all know the craic about the great horse meat scandal of 2013. Well, it’s become apparent that some of you have suddenly turned all fucking high & mighty over it & quite frankly, you’re getting on my tit ends.

Something happened today. It’s happened before & will likely happen again. Some snot faced arse on a bike sneered at me riding an upright Dutch bike!! I know right, what a cheeky sod!. I was minding my own business, riding to work on the cycle path (I know, I hate them but we’ll come to [...]

Well it’s been a while hasn’t it? Mostly on account of juggling work, kids, bike hire companies! However, I’ve found a bit of time this last week while I’ve been sat on me arse watching SPORT! Yes, I know, ME, watching sport, on the telly – it’s a little bit mental. I “do” sport – [...]

Well fuck me what a week! I’ve been back at work for nearly 4 months now, 3 of those I spent working part time. Since going on maternity leave my hubby got himself a new job ..,, This new job means lots of away trips – most weeks … It was easy to cope with [...]

Well, that’s been an eventful few weeks … Since giving birth to Darlobikebaby, I hadn’t been out on my bike. I had no need to, being on maternity leave for a year meant we pretty much just stayed at home or would get a bus into town with the buggy. The problem is, leaving it [...]

So what changed my mind? [...]
