The absolutely brilliant employee - part 2

January 1, 2008 – 5:29 am

I actually did go sightseeing that morning. Well I stood on Princes Street and looked up at the Castle for a minute or two. That’s nice. Now where’s that bar near the bookies? The girl on the plane was spot on with her suggestion. A big shiny Guinness sign in the window and a bookies [...]

The absolutely brilliant employee - part 1

Spare ribs anyone?

November 14, 2007 – 9:54 am

I’m back. Well sort of. Let’s say I’m Backish. Like Ivana. I’ll still be drifting in and out of the consciousness that is blogland for a couple of more weeks. It’s not right to be messing with the space-time continuum like that but it can’t be helped for the moment.
