The Fight Goes On

I have to say that I've certainly experienced a roller coaster of emotions these past few days. From the grief of losing my job to the frustration and sheer anger with a person I thought of as a friend, through to the disappointment at finding myself in the same boat I tried for so hard and for so long to get out of.

Here's a Stat For You

In the eight weeks before the shop went under I applied for tons of jobs through Indeed. I didn't keep a written record because I was still employed at the time and didn't need to keep one for the DWP.

It's Over

So I was greeted with this when I turned up for work today.

It would be laughable if it wasn't so tragic.

I'm a Man! I Do Man Things!

When I was much younger I was often teased about my name, mainly because they thought that Julian was a girl's name.

But despite my christian name's somewhat noble origins, there are still some people who think I'm actually a woman.

I'd Really Love To Go To Town On Someone

There's a part of me that would really like to go to town on someone, but it probably wouldn't do any good. After all, she's kicked me off the page I used to help her run and blocked me on Facebook. She's probably blocked my phone as well.

Maybe I'll rant and rave and tell all when that shop door is closed and locked for the final time. 

So I'm Looking For A Job Again.....

It was about this time two years ago that someone saw my posts about being unemployed and offered me a job. Sadly circumstances beyond my control mean that this job is coming to an end sooner or later.

Which is why I'm putting this post here, because having found a job through social media once there's a chance it can happen again.

Just Sharing A Few Memories

"Are You Closing?"

You're probably wondering what this photo is all about. It's simple. Two weeks ago the "to let" sign went up at Claws 'N' Paws, the place where I've worked for the past two years.

Since then I've been asked countless times "are you closing?"

Julian's Alternative Eurovision

Want an alternative to the Eurovision Song Contest? Here's a few songs from around Europe, together with a token Aussie act. No Brits though. We are leaving the EU after all!

When Death Actually Means Something

There’s an unwritten law in the world of fantasy and science fiction these days, that if a character dies he or she will inevitably come back form the dead.

They’ve all done it, from Superman to the Bucky Barnes to Gwen Stacy to Jon Snow to Vince McMahon. I’ve lost count of the number of times this has happened. Which is why the death of Professor Martin Stein in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow television series was surprising, especially considering the show’s time travel premise.

A Little Story For You

A little story for you.

I watched these buskers while sitting outside The Two Lifeboats in Sheringham at lunchtime. As they played the first few bars of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" a man walked past with his Westie.

Rest in Peace Snowy

The end of an era. After 17 years and 1 month Snowy has passed away. Hopefully he's back with his old friends now.

Thanks for everything. Rest in peace old friend.

It Would Have Annoyed Me a Couple of Years Ago.....

You know, a couple of years ago, if I'd heard that Radio Norfolk (or any other local media for that matter) had done a piece on professional wrestling I'd be quite miffed, what with me being Britain's longest-running wrestling blogger and all that.

Two Sheds Wrestling: The April Fool's Joke That Never Was

Today is April 1st, and by now you’ve probably seen dozens and dozens of April Fools jokes, some of which may have genuinely fooled you, others which you probably saw through as soon as you saw them.

But as today’s is the prankster’s equivalent of Christmas I thought I would share with you an idea I had, and given the nature of the joke and the business I used to work in there would have probably been quite a few people who actually believed me.

For years I toyed with the idea on making a “massive announcement” on my blog, on social media, and on that doyen of professional wrestling knowledge the UK Fan Forum, the announcement being that I was going to start my own wrestling promotion, Two Sheds Wrestling, or 2SW for short.

At Least They Unblocked The Drains

Some of you may be wondering what happened after I posted my little piece about the state of the roads and wot-not in Suffield Park. In case you haven’t seen it yet then go there now.

Rest in Peace Eccles

Rest in peace Eccles. Will miss you lots little man.

Photo Gallery: Neglected Cromer

There's been a bit of talk on social media lately about the part of Cromer I live in, Suffield Park. There are many, myself included, who feel that this area is largely ignored by the local and district council in favour of Cromer town centre, mainly because the town centre attracts a lot of tourists, while the Suffield Park area doesn't.

Because of this I've decided to document what I see every day,  taking the route I normally use when I take my faithful friend Monty for his daily walk.

My journey began with a left turn out of my gate onto Lynewood Road, and immediately I saw damaged paths, some by tree roots, drains which are in danger of getting blocked because we never see a road sweeper around here, pot holes developing on the path and in the road.

Illness, Injury & Almost Terminal Unemployment

So as I approached my final day of work for this year I began to realise something. Some of you will probably say it’s nothing special, but for yours truly it’s kind of a mini-mega event-type of thing.

It Would Have Been Nice To Have Been Noticed A Bit More.....

I’m going to take you back to the year 2004. Back then you could say that The Two Sheds Review was in it’s prime. My regular ramblings on the professional wrestling world were seen on over twenty websites and read by approximately half a million people per month. (I did the research and added up the figures.)
