Bearded Bob Dylan lookalike (Rousse)
BR dyed his grey hair black, and also touched up his beard. He now looked like Bob Dylan, and I hated it.
Belle’s beard
I wished I hadn’t looked in the mirror. Not only did I have stubbly beard, I also had what were known as ‘apple-cheek whiskers’.
Doubts over Queen’s health in run-up to royal wedding, while marine mammals rule the waves (Rousse)
It was great to see the two cyclists again when they stepped off the ferry. I recognised the dark-haired girl first (for her beard). They replied sheepishly when I asked if they had enjoyed their time at the guest house. … Continue reading
Lumpy legs and a football cure for bad posture (Rousse)
I showed the lumps on my legs to my office-mate BR. ‘You’d better get those checked by a doctor’ he said. I replied that I would do so – just as soon as I got dressed. Forty-five minutes later I … Continue reading
Cult betting on the Eurovision song contest (Rousse)
I took the number 10 bus to Granton, then called for the kayak taxi from the pier. The kayak took me as far as a sandbank. I crossed the sandbank, then swam to the small island in the forth. Here … Continue reading
Star Trek Voyager’s Neelix and Kes moonlight as fake holiday guests (Rousse)

The extraordinary habits of men (Rousse)
As a guest of the convent I was let into an astonishing secret: at least half the sisters were really brothers! Grey-bearded men applied in great numbers to undergo the transformation. Each entered a blue and white striped tent as … Continue reading
An office move and a useless computer (Rousse)
Since my office had been allocated to someone else, I was forced to move campus. Queues of students begged to see me there, including 1995 graduates AB and PG. Meanwhile my computer died – most likely because it had been … Continue reading
Smoking menthol cigarettes to lose weight (Rousse)
As was the tradition, my colleagues were in Glasgow staffing the National Museum of Scotland on 2nd January so that the museum staff could take an extra day off. Already there was trouble at the entrance. One of my colleagues … Continue reading

A trip to Middle-earth, the Shire and Hobbiton (Rousse)
She was only just back from her summer holiday, yet already AM was off on another exciting trip – to Hobbiton in Middle-earth. I clicked the link that she had posted to her Facebook wall and marvelled at the photographs … Continue reading
