Catch 22

Poor Yossarian!

Feb 23

Fear Itself

I haven’t done this before. Last week I quoted from Roosevelt and as part of checking the accuracy of my quotation reviewed his inaugural address, delivered on the fourth of March 1933. That’s coming up on 77 years ago. I was struck by the relevance of his comments, of the stark religous flavour of an address given by a man so often buoyant and amiable; with broad strokes Roosevelt illustrated how he intended to work as president and identified clearly and with great perception the nature of the challenges faced then, and, of course with the benefit of present sight, now.

Audit

I must admit that I am a solid fan of all things fantasy and science fiction; mind you my wife does all she can to ensure that I remain a fan as opposed to an enthusiast. A part of her character for which I am increasingly grateful, at least most of the time.

Close of Play

It’s here; the end, or at least the beginning of the end.

Shrove

Today was pancake day.

I’m not going to say a great deal about it really. Only that initially I forgot all about it. When I remembered I quickly learned a very important lesson.

Moving On

This is my last week in my current post. I’m not sure why it would happen today, but this morning a sense of loss and excitement settled on me like ash; almost imperceptibly weightless yet stark against clean clothes. It’s an odd sensation. I suppose it could be fear.

Heroes

The new season of Heroes is being released one episode at a time on BBC iPlayer. A dangerous set of circumstances indeed.

Do Better

There are so many service providers in the world, some good some bad. There’s no way you could possibly know the quality you can expect from an individual provider unless you try their services or someone else recommends them. Or warns you. Today, I bring you a warning.

Portraits

You may remember that earlier in the year I mentioned CreativePhotogenic. What I said before was all true; now I have more to say.

Spice Island

Every now and again you find a local restaurant which is genuinely reputable. The sort of establishment to which you look forward to returning. Don’t mistake me, I’ve not yet joined the ranks of the grand-a-night diners! However, I do enjoy good tasty food, professional service, consistency and value. I suppose I ought to have put consistency first on that list as to my mind knowing what you are going to get is very important. Perhaps my sense of adventure is deficient but I like knowing that my lamb dansak will taste very similar to the last one.

Big Hungry Giant

  • Welcome
    Welcome to Big Hungry Giant! At school I was generally known as the BFG, an amusing reference to Roald Dahl. It stands for Big Friendly Giant. Later at college and university this became just Big G. It's a reasonably accurate description even today and so I thought it was appropriate as the name of my blog. I talk about many things here, but rest assured, food, family and friends will always be among them.
