Academic exclusion (Rousse)

Posted on May 23, 2015 by Dreamaticus

My boss chastised me for not meeting my targets. As punishment I was to spend two days in solitary confinement. On reflection I realised that this was completely unfair. I had actually exceeded all my targets. I complained and the … Continue reading →

Posted on April 5, 2015 by Dreamaticus

Elton John screamed at George Michael to grow up. Then he flung the upholstered waste paper basket at him. It missed, and landed at my feet. George then came over to moan at me about his relationship with Elton John. … Continue reading →

Posted on February 12, 2015 by Dreamaticus

The best accommodation in Pitlochry (Rousse)

Posted on December 14, 2013 by Dreamaticus

Pitlochry was a town of miracles. First I succeeded in parallel parking a chained row of six vehicles. Then I met two 200 year-old residents. This was all the evidence I needed to persuade TPR that we should move to … Continue reading →

Tricky theatre seating (Rousse)

Posted on October 15, 2013 by Dreamaticus

This was not the easiest way to reach a theatre seat. You really needed to be very precise about your row and seat number when you were dropped in from above. I kept my fingers firmly crossed as I focussed … Continue reading →

Posted on August 4, 2013 by Dreamaticus

A mismanaged meeting and three glug jugs (Rousse)

Posted on August 3, 2013 by Dreamaticus

A Shakespearean affair (Rousse)

Posted on February 2, 2013 by Dreamaticus
