  • Morals More Holes Than a Sieve.

    I’m very nervous at the moment, someone has offered to film me reading from my book. MORALS MORE HOLES THAN A SIEVE. I’m always nervous, of those that serve us with orders on how we should liveNever too sweet, they lie and they cheat morals more holes than a sievePeople get power they always turn… Read more

  • Basement, Debasement, Abasement.

    The prompt today is actually quite apt, I’m exhausted, and could do with winding down but instead I have to go out to a charity meeting. The reason I’m exhausted I’ve been clearing out our basement, otherwise known as “Tip” That word basement made me think of two other words both of which I’ve been… Read more

  • Don’t Social Me Dear

    I hate this thing, where people presume, presume this, presume that, everybody does this, everybody loves that. Writing is strange medium it’s not like song or stage, one can’t shout. The best I can do is use capital letters I DON’T AND NEVER WILL USE SOCIAL MEDIA. The only reason I use this blog is… Read more

  • gobbledygook

    Another brilliant prompt from Mr AI prompt man. What is the first thing that comes into my mind when asked what is the first thing that comes into my mind? Obviously WHAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT COMES INTO MY MIND ? of course, what else could it be? But what worries me more is… Read more

  • On Reflection

    If this stranger should ever talk to you, please be nice and kind. He won’t hurt you, he’s really quite nice you’ll find. The Stranger I met a strange man a very strange man indeedThis man was a joker, mind stoker, difficult to readHe was old, bald headed, with a bulbous noseBut he could talk… Read more

  • The Devils Trump Card.

    The prompts go round and round, I’m sure we’ve covered this subject before. If AI got his school report it would certainly say “Must try harder” So I’ve written about decisions that changed a life (Everyone’s lives) from someone else’s perspective. I know I written a lot about this particular individual, but watching him is… Read more

  • It’s Alright Ma I’m Only Bleeding.

    I’ve top and tailed my poem today with two verses from Bob Dylan’s “It’s Alright Ma (I’m Only Bleeding”) I physically wept the other night when I saw the picture of that awful insane orange “man” (Too good a word) posing as Jesus Christ. I was afraid before, now I’m very afraid, in fact terrified!… Read more

  • The Family Thief.

    It’s just over a year ago now, I was in hospital with my burns, I was in a mess, but it didn’t stop my sons girlfriend, now soon to be daughter in law coming to visit me. Jenny is the best thing to happen to us, for a long, long while, we love her to… Read more

  • Mama’s and Leonie’s

    We live in Sheffield UK, the home of the Crucible Theatre where the world snooker championships are held. About 100 Metres up the road from the Crucible is our favourite restaurant, Mama’s and Leonie’s. It was opened in 1968 the same year my old classic car was built. But the best thing about Mama’s and… Read more

  • Norman is an Island.

    I started writing this about petty little tech troubles, but it’s ended up a pretty good bit of nonsense, that actually makes sense. In a nonsensical way. Apologies for the naughty bit at the end, bottom, oh I don’t know, whatever you want to call it. Norman is An Island Norman is an island, so… Read more
