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

  • Rubber Trees ?

    The most important invention in my lifetime was obviously the wheel. I remember it well, rolling the car about on tree trunks was a pain, every time the trunk revolved to a point where there was a bit of branch sticking out you’d be stuck and have to call the AA ( Arboreal Association) Also… Read more

    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

Now part slum, part building site, shop desert, a scattering of new buildings that don’t fit in with the old, a nice little area around the theatres, and one nice restaurant. Just… Read more

  • The Snowman and the Fridge.

    I really ought to do a Tolkien here and draw a map to show our area. Basically we live at the top of a main road, with little access down the side of the house. The house is built on the side of a ravine, with a footpath running up the bottom of the valley.… Read more

  • Plane to Happiness

    The Journey.     First place I would go, would be the Post Office, because I don’t have a passport anymore, you see I’ve been banned from most countries for smuggling in bad poetry.                                             … Read more

    Travel plans. Not done any Dylan for a while so,       “ He can be fascinating, he can be dull, he can ride down Niagara  Falls in the barrels of your scull, I can smell somethings cooking, I can tell there’s going to be a feast, sometimes Satan comes as a man of Peace” From Man… Read more
