As a child I always missed out on the crazes. When I got my first shell suit people were into Kickers. I finally got a Gameboy when people had moved on to Playstations. So I’m over the moon to be finally up to date by having my own blog.

The eBay project
5:01pm Thursday 24th April 2008
A story in the Echo got me thinking the other week. It was the one about Ian Usher, from Darlington, who wanted to sell his entire life on eBay.

A Dodgy night

Spice Girls in Need... of a big pullover
10:34am Friday 16th November 2007
Hurray! The 90s pop bands are back! I always had a soft spot for Take That, and as a teenager growing up when the Spice Girls were in their prime, I couldn't help but have a favourite. (I was a Posh fan initially, before progressing on to Baby).
