I decided that I would brave the digging up and paving of Hamilton's roads and head into town last Saturday. Apart from being vexed from all the detouring, the incident that I witnessed in town just about sent me over the top. I have never touched o...

Now that we are into the summer, we enter the season of the naive, disillusioned souls. The oblivious and clueless folk. I’m talking about those men and women, local and visitors alike, who think their body is actually three to four sizes smaller tha...

I think learning a second or third language is always a good thing. They tell me that if you want to get a job in Europe these days it's better to be trilingual. That's fine if you're young and want to work in Europe, but at my age I feel that it's c...

I'm in a Catch-22 situation if there ever was one. With Belco's rate increases, I'm now forced to cut back on my monthly expenses, and to do that I'm going to have to stay at home a little more. So now instead of being able to afford to go out on the...

Have you ever thought that anyone driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac? I'm starting to develop road rage when I’m driving on Bermuda’s roads. Let’s face it, it’s hard to be a courteous driver while shar...

Skuuggh? No, that’s not it. Smuuggh? Nope, that’s not it either. How am I supposed to do an article on something that really drives me around the bend if there’s no correct spelling for it? Okay, somebody tell me how to spell that awful snort sound, ...

I just know I'm going to get a lot of grief for this week's gripe, but I believe a lot of people feel the same way, even if they don't admit it it's the whiny, crying baby. For us old fogeys, having a public holiday like the one we just had, is a day...

Like most husbands and boyfriends I have been dragged into so many shopping malls and clothing stores, and like most husbands, it’s because we’ve done something wrong and found guilty as charged. So, for our punishment, we have to feebly stand aroun...

The other day I was running low on my All Bran. You see, I'm one of those guys that likes to keep my life “regular”, in every way possible. Now, because of the cost of food these days I try and make a visit to the grocery store as brief as possible. ...

Think back to the last day of the Agricultural Show a couple of weeks ago. Did you notice anything strange? No, I’m not talking about the smell of the farm animals or David Lopes’ skinny legs. I’m talking about how little traffic there was on the roa...

Go outside and take a whiff. Do you smell it? Yes, election time is in the air! Parties are unveiling their candidates, flip- flopping on decisions. We see them calling press conferences for the slightest announcement, which only 12 months ago would ...

What with the weather finally turning nice last week I took the opportunity to get out of the dungeon my company calls an office and escaped to the park to eat my lunch. Not only did I see the sun for the first time in I don't know how long, I also g...
