Back to the Future by John Heald's Blog

I have never been much of a fan of parties. Maybe this comes from the fact that I was hardly ever invited to one and when I was…………….no bugger spoke to me. I would arrive at the party with dreams of meeting a girl ……………any...

Do You Have a Reservation? by John Heald's Blog

I love food………………I really do. Last night I ate at what some would describe as a “fancy restaurant” and I will explain the point to all this in a moment…………………. But first let...

Peter Says Goodbye by John Heald's Blog

Bugger… this Facespace thingy has gotten out of control. Stephanie called me yesterday and told me that I have 1,000 friends and hundreds of requests from people who wanted to be my friend and needed a hug. My friend list is increasingly weird ...

Startea by John Heald's Blog

Did you see the news today that Starbucks has issued a 97% downturn on their profits from this time last year? …………..wow……………..I wonder why. Has the credit crunch meant that we are now taking a packet...

Blue Monday by John Heald's Blog

So the flight was delayed once again. Apparently it was still a surprise to American Airlines that there were other planes taking off and landing and so we sat on the runway for 40 minutes waiting to take off. It would have been nice to pass that time...

Que? by John Heald's Blog

So there I was ………….last night……………at the Dolphin Mall……………in the DVD store. I had chosen three movies to help me through another lonely night in the hotel. It was going...

A Quick Birthday Blog by John Heald's Blog

Birthdays are crap. Mine no longer tend to herald exciting parties and the greedy shredding of wrapping paper. They are now just mileposts that point the way toward the inexorable arrival of old age and incontinence. Because I’m an increasingly...

The Games People Play by John Heald's Blog

Monopoly has no end. The rules explain how you can unmortgage a property and when you should build hotels on Madison Avenue but they don’t say, and they should, that the winner is the last player left alive. And what about Risk? You make a calculation...

The Basketball Diaries by John Heald's Blog

I remember the first time I went to see a basketball game. I was 25 years old and went with the cruise director of the Carnival Fantasy, Gary Hunter, and entertainer Tim Harkleroad. We drove from Miami where the ship was spending 10 days before her inaugural...

Helloween, Pinata’s and Captain America by John Heald's Blog

With everything that has been happening, I haven’t had time to tell you about the huge success of our “Fun Ship” Halloween parties. The guests took part with great vigor and reports are telling me that some of the costumes were outrageous ………………………...

A Parade…..And Someone Who Should Have One by John Heald's Blog

Normally when I write about my air travels, I talk about the strange people I meet, the rudeness of the airport staff or how flying turns my bottom into a crop duster. On this flight to Philadelphia, though, I only have two positive things to mention...

Stockings and Wives by John Heald's Blog

Good Morning Everyone. Well, here I am at Miami airport sitting in the “Business Class” Lounge (hoorah) typing away on my raspberry before heading to Philly. However, as I do so there is distraction from the plasma screen which is playing a channel called...

Credit Me With A Quick Morning Blog by John Heald's Blog

Two nights ago I went to Publix. I needed to buy some bottled water (I refuse to pay $5 a bottle at the hotel) some toothpaste, a bag of Doritos (I know I shouldn’t) and some extra strength hemorrhoid cream. I paid $21 with my credit card and off...
