  • I Am Numerous.

    Title inspired by Bod Dylan’s “ I Contain Multitudes” I’m growing weary, now, I make great sacrifices to try and put something new on my blog everyday. With these sacrifices I make I hope to make a little difference in the way people think about the world, and maybe raise a smile on the way.… Read more

  • Worthy or Unworthy.

    I don’t consider myself, clever enough, skilled enough or lucky enough (As is the case with most autobiographers) for me to think people would want to read about me. The first line then maybe should read “If you are reading this, get a life”. I would much sooner write about others, mostly bringing to light… Read more

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Coulrophobia.

    My favourite game snooker, my favourite commentator Ron Gangle, which is a coincidence because that’s what he always said when a player missed a shot.. I love to play lambasting, especially lambasting politicians. Not to be confused with lamb basting that’s a different thing entirely, although it’s a thought. Trump with mint sauce, mm maybe… 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
