I just sort of naturally settled down to 4 to 6 drinks a day (night) and I usually have the higher number if I stay up later - now usually a Thursday night and a Sunday night which is when a number of TV programs I enjoy. The other nights ...

One Sunday morning after a particular heavy Friday and a light, by my standards Saturday, I got up and went to 'work', hung-over. That's where my family though I was going and I did go to the office, to get away from everything. I took with me a dictation machine, ...

'No-one, even those closest to me, knows what I have had to go through to get to where I am now. Why then do you resent what I have?'

On the train to work yesterday morning I noticed graffiti stating simply 'Zulu 1875'. Intrigued, a Google search later at work revealed a lot of Zulu references to the period around 1875.

I tend to use the word karma to describe the calm, peaceful balance. Something that disturbs this state is said to be upsetting my karma. I recently decided to look it up the proper meaning of the word and am horrified to discover that it doesn't mean anything like that ...
