It’s been a long time coming and I apologise for that, but this is my review of Red Dead Redemption. I wanted to give RDR (as it shall be known for ease) plenty of time, to enable me to give a full review. I have to say, it’s a mixed bag. You’ve probably noticed my [...]

Baboon on the roads

Posted: 29th June 2010 by Annie in Ramblings

I got stuck in a terrible traffic jam last night having left work early (I have a flexi contract) and enjoying the idea of a few hours in the sunshine. So there I am in the searing heat in my car for nearly three hours. I never found out why there was a jam but [...]

Does no one know how to barter?

I rambled the other day about being a rubbish salesman. I’m also pants at bartering. Yet I know how to do it at least. If you are selling anything, especially car related, you expect to be haggled. It’s a way of life. A matter of fact. An inevitability. So you put up a price for [...]

Neighbours that drive you nuts

I hate inconsiderate, unthoughtful people who are a pain. Take our neighbours for example. Their drive way is big enough to fit 5 cars on (near enough) whereas ours will only fit 2, at a squeeze. Yet they insist on parking on the road outside our house. One of them kindly parked their car in [...]

In my family there seems to be so many secrets and skeletons and occasionally a new bombshell is let off that rocks my world again. The sweet old dears we know as Grandparents were once outrageous or notorious, living life to the full and far more adventurous than their grey perm suggests. Some of the [...]

I’m not a salesman

I’ve recently started to try and sell some bits that I bought for my old car. High quality parts. A performance exhaust system, tail lights, anti-roll bar, suspension and a few other bits. I’ve had a lot more interest than I was expecting. It’s a bit of a nightmare though as I’m not a good [...]

I hopped on Red Dead Redemption again at the weekend for a spot of Co-Op goodness with an old friend I haven’t seen for a while. It wasa quite a blast. On one particular level, he found a rather large cannon and was pounding the enemy from a distance while I tried to get in [...]

Waking yourself up while jabbering

I’m sure I don’t have to tell any of you how hot it was last night. God it was hooooot! We had both the windows in the bedroom open and the door and the windows in the spare room. There wasn’t much of a breeze, rather disappointingly. It took me ages to get to sleep, [...]
