Month: May 2024

On Tuesday (28th May 2024) I attended the Macular Clinic at the Queens Medical Centre (QMC) in Nottingham to undergo an “Interocular Implant” into each eye, in other words an injection of steroids directly into each eyeball. I’ll be honest and say that I wasn’t relishing the idea of having this done but my eyesight…

Seems the good old Catholic church has been showing it’s true feelings towards the LGBTQ community again by using extremely derogatory language in a recent speech. I think the translation of his comment is something like “there are already to many faggots in the church”. I’m sorry, but I have ZERO respect of the 2…

I’ve played with the idea in my head for a very long time and last night I finally decided to make a move. I’m going to start in a VERY small way to video blog. I’ve ordered an Insta360 Link 4k webcam which will arrive tomorrow (Wednesday 29th May), a mounting clamp, an LED ring…

I just want to express my sadness at the loss of both Sqn Ldr Mark Long who died following the crash at RAF Coningsby and the loss of an iconic aircraft the “Spitfire” which formed part of the Battle of Britten Memorial Flight. Sqn Ldr Mark Long will never be replaced but I hope one…

I sometimes wonder just how politicians are able to find this arse with their hands tied behind them. Rishi Sunak, our glorious leader has gone on the record saying he will bring back conscription. Why not also say he will bring back the birch, caning in schools , rickets and hanging (although I am in…

I’ve been wanting to do this for a little while and it should have been much higher on my To-Do list but this past week I’ve set to and substantially beefed up the security of the CMS of my blog (the backend). I’m not going to go into any details for obvious reasons but I…

I was talking to one of my carers yesterday about driving and he explained to me that he didn’t drive at the moment because he had had his driving licence taken off of him and his last car was confiscate and crushed after he was caught driving on his own with just a provisional licence….

I will confess, right now I’m struggling with everyday life. This year I’ve really made an massive effort to get my life and myself back on track. I’ve done lots of little things like getting this web site up and running, getting my Amateur Radio hobby back up and running which has also meant I’ve…

As I’ve mentioned, I’m transgendered and this means I’m part of a much miss-understood and much maligned minority group. I understand that for many people they will not or do not want to understand what being trans means. They think it’s a choice, like one day I woke up and thought to myself I’m going…

It’s just a set of wire strippers at the end of the day, admittedly rather bad-ass wire strippers as wire strippers go. But they also represent to me taking another step back from the low point 7 years ago when I lost everything and my mind imploded. When I lost the house and as part…
