I’ve always got time for has-been seasoned professionals of the game. It’s those conversations that start with ‘I remember the time’ that trigger something in my brain which puts me into nostalgia mode.

There is a saying I made up a few years ago when I used to smuggle my cat, Homer, through customs. I used to tell my friends, “Don’t let the cat out the bag.” Since then, it’s use has slowly evolved and now people use it as an actual saying. They mainly use it to […]
