100 Loves - Numbers #60 to #41

60. Rooftops
Sunsets, a City skyline in view, an ice-cold Peroni in hand. Best seat in the house.


59. Aquariums
Essentially an under-water zoo. Contains all the best animals, aka. Sharks, Turtles, and Penguins.


58. Banana Milkshake
Unlike Choc, where the quality depends on the brand, Banana is a universal hit. Yazoo is best, though.


57. Aldi
Cheaper than Tesco, better than LIDL. Who needs a Twix when you can have a 'choco crunch finger'?


56. Serie A in the 90s
Batistuta, George Weah, James Richardson sipping a macchiato, reading the Gazzetta. Bellissimo!


55. Dr Pepper
Coca-Cola's magical cherry-ish cousin. King of the soft drinks. What's the worst that could happen?


54. Marvel
You don't have to be a geek to appreciate great storytelling. Those final two Avengers movies... Phwoar!


53. Prague
Amsterdam, but at a fraction of the price. Steins of lager costing less than a euro... Stag City.


52. Air Conditioning
A breezy blast in the face on a sweltering Summer day. Looking for the strongest AC? Try Waitrose.


51. Podcasts
The essential sleep-time partner. Whack one on, set the auto-timer to 15 minutes and enjoy!


50. Ice Cream
The food of Gods. A classic 99 with a flake is right up there, only bettered by Ben & Jerry's Phish Food.


49. The sound of Rain
So incredibly therapeutic that you can now even download the 'Rain Rain' app. Seriously, give it a try.



48. Football Manager
You've not lived until you've taken Wigan Athletic to Europe within 4 seasons. Dangerously addictive.


47. Boxing
Hearn's got us all by the goolies, but by the time Fury smashes AJ on a huge PPV, it'll all be worth it.


46. Bottomless Brunch
Women do it... Men don't. Why? It's brilliant. Unlimited cocktails, you're wrecked by mid-afternoon.


45. FIFA
Too FUT-focused now, but you still can't rival stonking in a 30 yard screamer whilst shouting 'Jagielka!'


44. Bukayo Saka
Arsenal's motherf**kin' star-boy. The solution to England's 'left-sided problem'... Albeit 20 years late. 


43. JD Honey
Surprisingly delicious considering the fact it comes out of a bee's arse. Dash of coke, two ice cubes.


42. The countryside
Long summer nights wading through acres of fresh air. Or in Theresa May's case, fields of wheat.


41. Tennis
A game as undeniably fun as the hoity-toitery which surrounds it. Anyone for strawberries?

20th July: I was assaulted last night

Image
Last night was just an absolute fucking disaster from start to finish, tbh. After finishing work (working from home), I set off at around 7pm to reach my destination as I was needed back in the office for the rest of the week (our office doesn’t have A/C so we were allowed to work from home on Mon & Tues on account of the heatwave), though it soon dawned on me that this was not going to prove a simple task. I arrived in London around 10.30pm and found both my 10.30pm and then 11.30pm trains had been fully cancelled. The reasoning they gave was that the tracks couldn’t handle the heat, but surely metal is strong enough to withstand even the most potent of temperatures?  As hoards of fellow commuters gathered around the departure board, looking forlorn at the rows of cancellations on the electronic board, I managed to earwig on a small group of middle-aged folk who were heading to the same destination as me. Seeking their advice, we attempted to grab one of the very few operati...

15th Jan - Dancing Queen

Image
Well, last night got a little interesting huh? I fell into 'the basic bitch trap' of jiving around to commercial drivel in one of those overpriced cocktail bar chains where a faint waft of Paco Rabanne & Gonorrhea fill the air... Be At One, All Bar One, Insert Other Name Involved 'One' and 'Bar' here. I've realised, that like many of you, when intoxicated, I possess a complete alter-ego. A gremlin inside of me which comes out to play and completely does away with the sober version of myself. This alter-ego is dangerously confident, sassy and sensual, and most worrying of all, delusional when it comes to dancing. I can't say I've ever been much of a dancer, I mean sure... I'll give it a go. I have rhythm at least, but I'm now at an age where I'm probably old enough to be able to pull off ' dad dancing ' and give the word some real personification. Last night consisted of myself & my equally intoxicated pal putting on live...

29th December - The MOST important life skill you'll learn

Image
I've spent much of this year musing a range of important and philosophical ideas and thoughts. Real deep analysis on human behaviour and psychology. And then sometimes I've just blogged about Kebabs. But there are a few really important takeaways which I can pass on from this year. The first is that when we talk about eating healthy, or 'being healthy', we alway focus on weight. Fat burning, weight loss, muscle gain etc etc. But one thing very few people talk about is that exercise, or eating nutritious foods, is first and foremost the biggest self-care for the mind. That is definitely something I discovered this year when comparing my moods on days when I stayed in like a slob, or days when I partook in my hourly walks. By clearing the mind and allowing yourself that period of isolation in fresh air, you are delivering a type of therapy to yourself more powerful than any self-help podcast, or life-coaching course. The second thing I've learned, thanks to both Jorda...
