100 Loves - Numbers #80 to #61

80. Power Showers
Blast that bad boy in your face and watch the shame of the hangover disperse down the drain.



79. Champions League
Was more fun in the ITV days, but that theme tune is top tier. All together now... "The Chaaaaampions!"


78. Netflix
... And chill? Big love for a platform that gave us Stranger Things, Black Mirror, and Sex Education.


77. Kraken Rum
Silky smooth, surprisingly potent, and perfect when accompanied with Coca-Cola, or most likely, Pepsi.



76. The Zoo
Take your Mrs, take your children, take your friends, take your fam. Elite day out for all ages.



75. Five Guys
Heavily over-priced, but show me a better burger in the U.K. Even the tommy ketchup is insane! 



74. Hotels
Not the Norman Bates creaky staircase type. The modern chains, with AC, office chairs, and huge beds.

 


73. Lionel Messi
The G.O.A.T. An artist as much as a footballer. Superior to Ronaldo and deep-down, you all know it.


72. Oxford
"From my hometowwwnnnn". Genuinely a class City. And no, I never went to the Uni, stop asking me.


71. Cheese
It's so delicious that I refuse to accept it isn't some sort of meat. A magical secret yellow meat.


70. Soccer AM
No finer way to kick off the weekend than with Fenners, Bully, and the absurd madness of the Pro-AM.


69. Craft Beers
The little colourful hipster cans. Camden Pale, Sierra Nevada, Jaipur, Punk IPA (before it was cool).


68. Going for a Ruby
The Bollywood music, the hot little hand wipes. Lamb bhuna, keema naan and a Cobra please bossman.


67. Cardiff
Mad hectic and completely non-pretentious atmosphere. All topped off by 'Chippy Alley' (Google it!). 


66. M&S Food
This isn't just any list, it's an M&S list. The Kings of Prawn sandwiches, and cookie dough bites.


65. Scented Candles
'Clean Cotton' is my fave, but 'Mandarin, Clove & Cinammon' also ignites a pretty jazzy atmosphere.


64. Snooker
You might call it an 'old man's sport' but try telling that to Ronnie O'Sullivan... And his £14m net worth.


63. Kieran Tierney
Delightfully Scottish. The Premier League's best LB, wears short sleeves in snow-storms. Old school.


62. The Moon
It's big, it's bright. It lights up the sky. What's not to love? Notoriously cooler than the sun, too. 


61. Kylo Ren
The best character of the saga, fight me. Almost managed to single-handedly save the Disney trilogy.

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...
