Mobility scooter shopping list holder…

In supermarkets, the shopping list can be a real pain. You need one hand to guide the scooter, one to pick things from the shelf, and a third to hold the list. Of course, if you only have one arm you’re already at a disadvantage. There had to be an easier way First of all, [...]

Kindle – first impressions…

As I said this morning, when connecting your Kindle to your wi-fi network it will ask you for the password. You can input your password from now til hell freezes, and it won’t work. What it actually wants is the Network Key. A minor fault, but a stupid one. After all, many people, having had [...]

Quorn cottage pie is disgusting…

I had a Quorn cottage pie last night. I said to someone, when I bought it, that it just had to be better than the Sainsbury’s version – I couldn’t have been more wrong. It was the most appalling crap. A minuscule layer – and that’s being generous –  of

Rechargeable tyre pump for mobility scooters…

It occurs to me that I haven’t told you about this – don’t really know why. Anyway, after a lot of searching I finally found what I was looking for at Amazon, but now they don’t stock it. Still, at least I knew exactly what I was looking for this time, and had no trouble [...]

The pneumonia vaccine – be afraid, be very afraid…

If you suffer from ME/CFS, that is, because it’s totally screwed up my life, and I wasn’t having too much fun to start with! As you might have noticed, of late, I’ve had a tendency to think out loud about why I feel so goddamned awful (and dreadfully weak – a few days ago I [...]

The Mediterranean Diet works best in the Med…

The Mediterranean diet is set for place on the Unesco world heritage list, according to the Guardian. However, in my view the Italian diet – which is what it really is, not Mediterranean; Spain and France eat differently, likewise Greece and no doubt other countries bordering the Med** – is massively over-hyped. Remove it from [...]

Jeremy Kyle – supply your own expletive…

Is Jeremy Kyle, with his delusions of his own importance, the most odious, self-obsessed, little shit ever to befoul the earth with his presence? Just asking… If you’re wondering why I haven’t mentioned this poisonous tosser earlier, it’s because, for once, words fail me. Well, at least words that wouldn’t offend  most of my readers.That [...]

Born-again veggie…

Finally, after farting about for months, I’ve slipped back into a mainly (for now, at least), vegetarian diet, given the nudge after writing this post, about the link between the purines/uric acid in beer, and arthritis. That’s because many foodstuffs, not just booze, contain purines (which metabolises into uric acid which, in turn, can causes [...]

A nation of hoarders?

Lucy Siegle, the Observer’s eco-zealot, says “UK consumers are hoarding £31bn of goods they’re not using.” No idea how she knows, as she doesn’t cite her source. Not hoarding Ms Siegle, not for many of us anyway – we just can’t get shut of the bloody stuff. Currently, I have a TV (perfect working order [...]
