Intelligent bubble wrap causes Heathrow travel chaos (Rousse)
After dropping out of university, PM had pursued a career in insurance – or so we believed. I’d certainly not expected him to become the inventor of intelligent bubble wrap. He rolled some out across a workshop table to show … Continue reading

When popping out to the shop turns into a hunt for polar bears (Rousse)
The community shop at Timsgarry was doing a roaring trade, despite its endemic over-pricing. I picked up a pretty pair of purple sheepskin child’s slippers and baulked at the £83 tag. Meanwhile TPR was negotiating on a supply of brown … Continue reading

Dolly Parton and a Swiss rail travel mishap (Rousse)
It was Dolly Parton’s fault that I lost the train. I was out on the platform looking for her when the carriage doors slammed shut and the train pulled away. Of course, it should not have done so without its … Continue reading

A transatlantic upgrade (Rousse)
I was dreading the journey: a transatlantic flight in economy. As soon as the fasten seat belt sign went out I made my move for the on-board lavatory, as did many of my fellow passengers. Rather than wait in a … Continue reading

Yes offers treats for tweeting (Rousse)

Daily Mail Eurovision Song Contest hoax (Rousse)

Records management, referencing, and ripping off airline passengers (Rousse)
