I was curious, that’s why I agreed to meet up with D after four years of not having contact with him. We’d been friends and drifted apart. No reason. No arguing and no falling out, it was just one of those things. So when I received a text asking if this was still my number and if so did I fancy meeting up one afternoon? Curiosity got the better of me and I said yes.

We whiled away several hours Read the rest of this entry »

It’s a shame, I was a bit too young to fully appreciate the Six Million Dollar Man while it was on TV. I saw re-runs, but I feel sad to admit that I wasn’t around when it affected culture in the here-and-now. Back then it was all about the Man, not X Factor and Simon Cowells big square head!

Looking at this forum post makes it even worse! It’s almost a tragedy!

So it begs the question–haven’t we waited long enough without a suitable replacement for the main Man? Or maybe they could bring back the original in a new, modernized way–give something for all the kids growing up right now to love as much as those people who grew up watching Steve Austin himself.

But that’s a dream, sadly, is it not? Because the Six Million Dollar Man can’t really compete with computer games these days, can it? In modern computer games you don’t have to just sit and watch Steve Austin do his thing, you can do it as if you were him!

But maybe this isn’t the end for the Man–

According to certain news sources, there is speculation—starting in the mid 1990s—that the Man might get his very own film; and why not? The Bionic Woman, no relation, made it, so why not the Main Man?

I have a funny feeling, what with all the remakes coming out in the last few years, that it won’t be long before we see Steve Austin up there on the big screen. I just hope Jim Carrey won’t be playing the part as some people have said might be the case—come on people, this is Steve Austin we’re talking about. We need a real man, not the US equivalent of Mr. Bean!

Wow! Imagine that, you are sat in the waiting room to see the doctor and a freaking meteorite comes hurtling through the roof!!! Suddenly, that sore throat you came here about doesn’t seem quite so important, does it?

It may only have been the size of a tennis ball, but it was travelling at a blistering 220 miles per hour. If that cracked you on the swede then it really would hurt! Being hit by a high speed Read the rest of this entry »

I keep hearing about people who say they’ve seen one of these so-called ‘big cats’ on the prowl. But are any of these beasts really skulking around in the great British countryside? Well, I happen to think there are. I’ve known a couple of people who are adamant they have seen one and they are not the type who make up silly stories.

Several years ago I had a job where I drove around to various farms delivering animal feed. Not the most exciting task in the world; but hey, it paid. Anyway, on one particular occasion I had a friend with me who had come along for the ride (and you thought that I was sad…). We drove down a great long track in the middle of nowhere and parked the van near a small outbuilding. As I was turning off the engine, my companion began to squeal excitedly about something he could see outside.

Before I could ask him what he was getting so worked up about, he had jumped out of the van and was running around the side of the building. It wasn’t until afterwards, when I knew what he said he’d seen, that I realised how inherently stupid he was being. ‘Oh, look! A black panther. I know, I’ll go and have a much closer look.’ Doh!

As things turned out (thankfully), he never did get a closer look. The beast had disappeared into a meadow full of very long grass. If it had ever been there to begin with, then it was certainly impossible to glimpse again.

And me? Well, I never got to see it at all. I always seem to miss out on things like that! Who knows; maybe it really was there that day… or perhaps he just imagined it. But it’s scary to think that such dangerous creatures really could be on the loose.

One last thing before I go, I have decided it was about time to just get it over with and book the appointment to get that tattoo that I had gotten when I was a teenager removed. It has been annoying me for a really long time now, apparently I have grown out of that whole rebellious stage now. However, I was looking on the page for laser tattoo removal birmingham and I don’t actually know if it will look better afterwards, some of the photos are a little bit questionable! What do you guys think is inferior, a tribal symbol or a faint outline of one
