Last month, the wonderful Shouting At Cows website ask me, via Twitter, if I wouldn’t mind contributing a guest post to their blog. I replied that it would be a pleasure. As they had asked me via my 80sNostalgia twitter account, I wrote a quick piece for them on an 80s theme. It has been…
Recently, my old high school had an open day for all past pupils and teachers. I decided to go. Having a wander around my old high school is something I’ve wanted to do for a few years, and so when the opportunity came I had to take it. The reason for the open day was…
I absolutely love the TV show Most Haunted. I’ve watched it from the first series, when Derek Acorah was the man who could sense paranormal activity and talk to the dead through his spirit guide, Sam. I’ve watched every live episode, whether it was a one nighter, a three nighter or the recent week long…
From: Craig Anderson Subject: Nacho Problem. (But, ironically, it is.) To: customer service @ subway.com Date: Tuesday, 21 June, 2011 Dear Subway. Hello!

I don’t want to register an official complaint or anything, but I do want to voice my concerns relating to a potentially pirate radio station…
I just made the funniest comment of my LIFE, and no-one that I work with understood it. I spotted a P46 on a desk, that had been completed by an employee. They had ticked statement A, stating they had NOT worked anywhere else this tax year, AND statement B to indicate they HAD worked somewhere…
From: Craig Anderson Subject: McQuery To: McDonalds Customer Service Date: Friday, 7 January, 2011, 17:25 Hi there. Wow, you’re looking great! I mean it! Wow! Anyway, on to business. Firstly I would like to say how much I love the food from McDonalds. I visit a McDonalds at least once a week and, more often…
One lunch time I went into McDonalds with Sheila-from-work and another colleague, Matt. Sheila and I both ordered items that we could see on the food queue, to prevent too much delay. Matt, however, asked for a Big Mac without any cheese. He isn’t allergic to cheese, he just REALLY doesn’t like it. With my…
