After months of short, cold, dark and damp days, the sunshine is back. This past winter was my first experience of snow. The ice and snow made the days that much more miserable. Oh how I have waited for the sun. Anything to see the rays of this giant star. Slowly but surely, spring turned into summer. The temperatures inched upwards daily. Then we hit … Continue reading A Visit to Brighton Beach
I have spent a great deal of time following and studying Pep Guardiola. It’s sufficient to say I am a huge fan of his. Growing up in rural Jamaica, we did not have large spaces to play football. It was natural for us to play short, snappy passes in small spaces. Seeing what Pep did with Barcelona made me fall in love with his philosophy. … Continue reading Pep’s Problem is Pragmatism
It is difficult to swim against the tide. On the ground it would seem as though we all need a pair of Nike trainers in order to appear trendy. But trends change, style is permanent. Either you have it or you don’t. In selecting trainers, I decided to go for styles I like and wish to wear. Not only are these inexpensive but I guarantee … Continue reading Hot New Styles in Trainers
Jamaica’s current homicide rate:- 46.5 per 100,000 is the second highest in the world. We still only have a population of 2.9 million people in a geographic area no more than 11,000 km2. Jamaica became an independent nation a little shy of 60 years ago. How did we manage to achieve this unenviable position of second in the world with homicide cases? Total murders in … Continue reading Hurt People Hurt People
An African mental health nurse once told me that three things will destroy any good man: alcohol, gambling and women. We don’t need peer reviewed studies in some top tier journal to confirm what we already know. Irresponsible living destroys the strongest, richest of us all. Intemperate men are a danger to themselves. The unwillingness to retain control over variables that can inflict hurt or … Continue reading The Downfall of Many Men
Is this the person you want to be the mother of your children? The moment we see someone, their physical appearance speaks to us. Unconsciously or consciously, we note their physical attributes. The texture of their hair, height, shape of their face and lips as well as their size. If you’re a man, certain anatomical features get observed instinctively and the same for women. What … Continue reading Selecting a mate to mate with
Situated in the southeast of London is a quiet and peaceful town called Grove Park. Adjoining towns are Lewisham and Bromely which are more well known. I decided to track the Chinbrook Meadow over the different seasons. This park was visited by none other than Desmond Tutu who at one point lived in Grove Park. It’s interesting to see how the environment changes over the … Continue reading Grove Park in Seasons
The Circus As we came upon this quaint looking building with dim lights, a few wooden chairs loosely arranged around small table, it was The Circus Restaurant. At first glance, my wife was not impressed. I remember her saying, lets go somewhere else. She definitely wasn’t “feeling” this place. No bright lights with huge chandeliers or ostentatious floral arrangements. I insisted that we go and … Continue reading Best Food Experience in Bath – The Circus Restaurant
Old Roman Roads There are many interesting sights and scenes in this well planned town. From Roman columns to centuries old roads to unique bridges along the Avon river, the views are absolutely picturesque. The monochromatic buildings made from stone are signifying mark of the town.

Whether you take the tube, rail or bus, Hyde Park or Soho, Lewisham to Tottenham, undoubtedly these are the trainers you will see. The puzzling thing is they are extremely popular with people of all ages. Not much variety is seen in the streets so it’s almost uniformed. Another issue is the availability of large sizes. People like me with size 11 feet have a … Continue reading Most Popular Sneakers Worn in London
