  • The Law of the Jungle.

    I feel I must apologise my posts have been quite sombre recently. My intention today was for a a bit more of my nonsense, and I did try, honest! I planned and actually started writing about rescinding the law of gravity. Some how though it didn’t work out and the demise of our world won… Read more

  • Slow Learner

    When I was young all those millions of years ago, I was just like young folk are now, wanting the trendy clothes, the latest audio for my car etc, etc. The difference now though selling has gone into hyperdrive. New phone every year, new car, every three years, new fashion items in what seems like… Read more

  • Where Does the Time Go ?

    It would be in my younger days a simple matter to complete almost any DIY task, age seems to have robbed me of that super power. Everything is ten times more difficult, just the planning and collection of materials a challenge in itself. I Want To Do It I Really Do. I want to do… Read more

  • You Are Looking in the Wrong Place.

    One of the things I was most scared to do was yesterday’s post, some of the subject matter. was quite taboo. Tackling the matter of overpopulation is never easy. The last time I approached the subject on my blog, even a close friend misinterpreted my intentions. So I will repeat I am not espousing any… Read more

  • We Are Many and They Are Few.

    I never complain, about how people are in denial about how this planet is over populated by humans. I never tell people we cannot carry on growing our population, and each new addition wanting to use more resources than the previous. I wouldn’t dream of complaining because the majority of the population only believe in… Read more

  • Winner or loser ?

    The UK National Lottery has been running about 30 years so every week for that 30 years I haven’t gambled a single Pound Sterling So that’s £1,560.00 I’ve won, You see I just don’t do luck, not of the material kind any way, I have tried various competitions, lotteries raffles etc, but never won anything.… Read more

  • My Name It Ain’t Nothin.

    ”My name it ain’t nothin, my age it means less etc, etc” A line from Bob Dylan’s “With God On Our Side” This is my slant on that line. My Name. My name’s not important, and neither am II’m hear a few years and then I will dieNo illusions of grandeur no false pretensionsI just… Read more

  • Love and Care.

    This may be my last post, for a while anyway. Apple has updated my iPad, and as a consequence I have lost all my recent writing. This was written March 25 when I was in hospital being treated for burns.               Spirits Blue flame, blue flame, that was all I… Read more

  • The Decluttering of John Clutterbuck.

    I am not a particularly untidy person, my little workshop gets in a mess sometimes, but then every so often I blitz it. So I have written this from an imaginary person’s perspective. “Gunwales the upper edge of the hull an old sailing ship may seem not to rhyme with tunnels but it’s usually pronounced… Read more

  • Bird on a Wire.

    An old girl friend once said to me “If you like Bob Dylan you’ll like Leonard Cohen” That’s true to a certain extent, Cohen has written some beautiful songs, but as some say they can’t tolerate Dylan’s voice, that slow drawl of cohen irks me. Songs such as “Hallelujah” but even more to my taste… Read more
