I thought I was going to have to give up playing MMORPGs for a couple of years or so, what with my frequent travels. From the perspective of a rabid MMORPG fan, that is the equivalent of a regular person having to give up drinking water or breathing air. Yes, it’s very serious. I ...
I was quite surprised to find Bournemouth so cosmopolitan. We have easy access any kind of cuisine we want, many within walking distance, some a short drive away. I’m so happy that Piers lives here because it is a very nice place to live in, being a beach resort town as well as a regional ...
Sponsored Post Today’s post is about hunger! Yes, what a great topic to talk about. So, let’s talk about when I’m hungry. When I’m hungry, I turn into one of three things: 1. A self-pitying rock It’s late and I’m tired and I should be sleeping. But my stomach is growling something fierce. Too ...
There are many things to do at Longleat, one of which is to explore the home of the 7th Marquess of Bath, Alexander Thynn, who is a rather eccentric and amorous character if media reports about him are to be believed. But we shan’t talk about the Marquess because I’ve never met him. We shall ...
One of Piers’ favourite places to visit in England is Longleat. He’d been waiting for the weather to turn warmer to take me there. A suitable day finally came. Longleat is a tourist attraction comprising a safari park, an adventure park and the stately home of the Marquess of Bath, who apparently still lives in ...
Everyone who knows me knows I don’t watch TV because I think time is better spent playing computer games or reading books. When I say “I don’t watch TV”, I mean that literally. I mean, I don’t even know how to operate the TV, which is how much I do not watch TV. I can ...
I’ve been in England for about three months accumulatively and only just had my first party night out on Saturday. That’s partly because I’ve developed an aversion to hangovers, but mostly because it’s been too cold in England to be out gallivanting in little party dresses in the middle of the night. Even ...
I ate the strangest tasting rice last night. I never knew rice could taste so weird. I know some of you are going to say, rice is rice, it all tastes the same. (It doesn’t, actually.) But this ang moh rice I had last night was Really. Weird. We bought it at the ...
We all know that being in love (or being married, or living with our partners) makes us fat. Piles of research and scores of articles have been done on it. But it’s a really obvious phenomenon; we don’t need articles to tell us the hows and whys of it. Eating with a loved one is ...
Tonight, I’m staying at an estate where once a medieval palace stood, the site where King Henry VIII (the one with six wives) met his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. The palace is gone, but there is now an 18th Century Georgian manor house which has been converted into the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire, in ...
After an extended long weekend, Piers and I have now settled down to the familiar rhythm we had established the last time I was here. In the morning, he goes to work at the office while I stay home and work on my blogs and stuff. He gets home at 5:30 pm and we spend ...
I spent the entire weekend being totally oblivious to everything except being back in England with Piers. It was a glorious respite after five intolerable weeks of separation. We spent most of the last two days holding on to each other as if our lives depended on us being stuck together like Siamese twins. Absence ...
My hair is the bane of my life! I’m getting mighty fed up with it. It’s so annoyingly straight and down-hanging, even when permed. I did kind of enjoy it for a while after perming and colouring it about two years ago because it is easier to style your hair when it’s drier and coarser. ...
I was gonna unveil the Goonfather only after he’s achieved his target but then I decided now’s as good a time as any. You can hardly recognise him now! First, some background for my new readers. The Goonfather is my ex. We’re still very good friends and still meet for drinks and stuff. He used ...
Alienware. The word that gets the gamer’s blood pulsing madly within me. The word that incites pure desire in my gamer’s heart. The word that seizes my very soul and doesn’t let go. When you own your first Alienware, you’ll feel like you’ve joined a very select brotherhood (or sisterhood) that understands the ...
Remember I sent Piers a parcel a few weeks ago? In it were an iPad 2 case and an Angry Birds stuffed toy. Yesterday, he got slapped with an invoice by the courier company for £25. And it w …
I’ve been feeling really restless the past few days, not being able to do anything useful like blog, or even read a book or play a game. That’s because it’s May! And May is the month I go back to England! Piers and I have been counting down the days religiously since April ...
I FaceTimed Piers today so he could watch me eat my dinner at Burger King. It was after my Alienware launch event and I thought I was going to have to eat alone. Luckily, he was able to get on FaceTime so I had company! I managed to get a corner table and propped my ...
Exactly two weeks from now, I will be on a plane to England to meet the love of my life, who will probably blush and fall off his chair when he reads what I just called him. I love posting blogs about him when I’ve got him on video chat because I get to see ...
I have been gaming too much lately, so my mind is swimming in games, so I don’t want to blog about anything else. lol sorry. The good news is that I’m getting bored with The Sims Medieval already because I feel stressed having to level up all my 10 heroes so that my kingdom has ...
