Former FOH Manager at The Quarry Theatre Bedford, now working for an Adult Education Charity. Team Manager for Bedford Junior Blues Under 11s, 36 years season ticket holder. Supporting Bedford and Scotland Rugby, so obviously a glutton for punishment!

A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."
It does raise this point of two-tiered
justice..


Reform's Sarah Pochin believes the
sentence handed to the 64-year-old who
blew up a ULEZ camera was
disproportionate'.

Wouldn’t disagree with much that Burnham said today in what was an excellent speech. But… 90% of the substance is focused on England catching up with Scotland (Bus fares, rail nationalisation, water in public control, free social care and PR in elections). Not much for Scotland except Unionism!

After the good people at Brewpoint offered us their staff/overflow car park for the Bedford Junior Blues Festival this weekend, I thought the least I could do was put some patronage their way! Cracking breakfast until they started screening last weekend’s awful Blues performance against Chinnor! 😂

I don't want self driving cars or LED headlights. I want two different horn options. One that says "hey there, i'm not mad at you but just so you know, the light is green & and another one that says "WHO GAVE YOU A LICENSE YOU TRAFFIC HAZARD ON WHEELS MENACE TO SOCIETY MOTHERFORKER”

The boy has come back from his school residential with a new game called ‘Cards’. “What sort?” we asked, just ‘Cards’. When asked to explain the rules, it sounded very much like Go Johnny Go Go Go Go… www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtSv...

On the BBC News Katya Adler has just described Germany, where the far right AFD keep winning elections, as entering 'uncharted political territory'. Hmmm. Where Germany is concerned I think that territory is pretty well charted.

As a Brit, it makes me so sad to see that nothing is made in the UK anymore. I just bought this new TV and it says “Built-in Antenna.” I don’t even know where that is.

So Reform have launched an app that tracks small boats arriving in the UK in real time, and already their supporters are complaining that it's boring because there are hardly any boats. They are SO close to getting it.

Stern test for Bedford Blues last night against a Bath side stuffed with international players. It’s only by playing against teams like that that we get an idea of where the team is. A solid performance, especially in the first half, bodes well for the upcoming season.

My first morning in the Omaze house. I didn’t sleep. I could hear crying from behind the door I’m not allowed to open.The only thing to eat is frozen prawns. I went for a wander round the 4 acre garden and found a box of VHS tapes marked ‘For the next one’. I’m sure it’s fine. I’m sure it’s all fine

A mural that stopped me dead in my tracks while walking in Manhattan. Fifteen firefighters from this fire station, the entire shift, answered the bell when the first plane struck the first of the Twin Towers - 8:46 a.m., September 11, 2001. None of them came back.
