Always ready for that flash of inspiration!

This is so true!

Who knows when a brilliant idea is going to burst into your head?

The only thing I think the hotel should have also remembered – is to have a pen nearby…..

What do they expect you to do? Dip the knife in the gravy and try your best?

The doors of Brick Lane: London

I enjoyed a weekend in London recently and decided to take a trip to Brick Lane in East London. I’d seen a television programme that week that was all about the history of the East End. I wanted to see it for myself – so went along to explore.

There was street art everywhere I looked. I went snap-happy with my camera and loved every moment. Here are some of the amazing doors I found!

2012 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

19,000 people fit into the new Barclays Center to see Jay-Z perform. This blog was viewed about 68,000 times in 2012. If it were a concert at the Barclays Center, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

2. Like the Grinch
3. Cuddly
4. All Christmassy
5. Happy
6. Smiley
7. Suicidal
8. Like you wanna give me, jamieonline a huge cuddle

Bugger Those Bankers

What is the first thought that comes to mind when someone says ‘bankers’? 

$*^@! is probably the answer.

The bankers are not the most popular people at the moment – oh, I must forget that they are closely followed by the politicians.

I was shown this video last week and wanted to share it with you (my friends around the world).

It really reflects how the ordinary people feel about the people in power!

Power to the people!

Enjoy the song.

Amazing Guitar Skills – performing ‘Sing’

The song ‘Sing’ by Gary Barlow is an incredible one. It gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. The power of children and adults singing together from around the world. Amazing!

Here is the Gary Barlow video. If you have never seen it then sit back and enjoy.

I was on YouTube looking for an instrumental version of it and came across this video. One man in his house, performing over the backing track with his guitar.

What talent!!! It’s brilliant.

Here is the video.

90,000 hits!

How has this happened?

How have I managed to lure in 90,000 hits to my blog?

Okay – it seems that cups of English tea have helped along the way… I’m not joking (I check my stats and how they find me).

 

I’ve been really ‘absent’ recently. I just haven’t had time to post – but my stats keep going up? How is that possible?

I really need to get some new stuff on the blog though.

 

Inspiration…

I need inspiration.

 

Bear with me people! More will come soon!

Dancing Through Life

So, my niece is also a blogger…. A recent discovery of mine, but one I want to share with my readers too.

Francesca is really keen on snapshots and photos – it’s quite different from my blog, but take a look and see what you think.

Read it here.

What did you think, guys?

Which bottle would you choose?

While walking along one of the arty streets in The Hague (Den Haag) my attention was grabbed by a rather interesting window display.

Lots of water bottles were placed randomly throughout the window space, each with a different label.

Oh which one to drink?

Anyone fancy a swig of ‘sex’? How about some ‘chi’ to calm your inner self?

Which one would you like to try?

Dirty pants? No problem!

UNBELIEVABLE!

Just when you thought it was safe to check out the washing instructions…

We were on holiday earlier this year in Cyprus and decided to do a spot of holiday washing. When we checked the washing machine manual it showed this…

Read the first line of notes.

Always read the instructions

Just what are they expecting? In fact, no, I don’t wanna know…

GRIM!
