  • Two Dimentional.

    Cartoon characters are two dimentional, but even then they can still sometimes have more depth than real people. I have a thing about politicians dressing up as a plumber, train driver, chef, or any other worker, so they can hide their two dimensionality, to gain our favour. Two Dimentional. Why do Pepper Pigs eyes move Read more

  • Sycophants.

    I love sycophants, it’s the way they creep and crawl everywhere. It is a real shame when sometimes they get confused with elephants, put in the same enclosure and get trampled. I also like the Boris, I know it’s old, but it’s difficult to tell how old because it’s always lying. One thing about the Read more

  • Abolition Of Greed.

    Ok then this is the big one. I’ve been waiting for this prompt to come round. This is a short story I wrote, at the time the Conservative Party were last in power here in the UK, and were trying to claw back money lost in the pandemic. It was the budget and I watched Read more

  • Losing Track of Time, and the Plot.

  • The Tea Party (Not in Boston)

    I remember a while ago, well two whiles ago actually, because I heard it twice. A play on the radio, where a group of people including Bob Dylan’s manager were sat around a table in a restaurant.

  • The Human Zoo.

    The Zoo We went to London Westminster zoo, to see all the animals, their keepers too. Lots of reptiles eyes black and gold, snakes in the grass so scaly and cold. A chimp gave me a banana he’d taker from his mother gave it with one hand, then took it back with the other. Man Read more

  • I Know Nothing,

    I’m an authority, on knowing I don’t know everything, about anything, I would never say I know more than anyone else, that I do know. I also know, that people who know everything never do, and people that know nothing, know they know nothing, so they do know something. So I know that I’m right, Read more

  • That’s a bit personal isn’t it?

    I can’t think how to respond to this prompt. So I’ll just ramble on a bit. I’ve had some mental issues, panic attacks, depression, bit of OCD, difficulty socialising. So about two years ago I booked myself in for an autism test, give the beast a name and all that. I had the test earlier Read more
