  • A Game of Ping Pong.

    You will all know, I often write about myself, my thoughts, and sometimes even bring my lovely wife into the story. This isn’t one of those stories though, this definitely isn’t about me, and my wife isn’t so cunning, at least I hope not. So it’s just a little fiction. Hope you enjoy. A Game… Read more

  • Let Me Die In My Footsteps.

    How much tech would I get rid of ? ALL OF IT ! There is though a proviso, I would have to be allowed to live the life I want. As things are I have to use some tech just to exist, it won’t take over my life though like it has with the majority.… Read more

  • My Friend Mr Moss Ball.

    I don’t have a pet peeve, don’t even know what peeve’s are, can you teach them to do tricks ? Will they walk on a lead, and do they make the pavement stink like dogs do ? Please will someone come up with a way to train dogs to use toilets. Ok responsible owners pick… Read more

  • Pat Carrot and Billy the Squid.

    GretaThunberg, is still my favourite person, outside my family, and friends, long may she continue the fight. I love cryptic crosswords, but had never noticed an anagram of Greta is “great” How apt is that ? Thank you to the friend who pointed that one out to me. There are a few other famous people… Read more

  • The Mask.

    If I could meet a hysterical figure, it would probably be Oliver Hardy. I would like to know why he was so cruel to little Stan. Seriously any bully would do even Hitler, I would love to know the workings of these bent and corrupted minds. Surely love is easier than hate, it can spread… Read more

  • Cyber Tooth Tiger, Two.

    I tend to trust people, it’s my nature, I am though always wary of scammers, if I can’t look them in the eye I don’t trust them. A call at 8am “Are your kitchen appliance’s covered ?) Answer, “No or I wouldn’t be able to use them) “It’s about your Amazon account” Answer, “I don’t… Read more

  • Commas, and Colons Float in My Eyes.

    I’m reading my own book, over and over again. Searching for typos before the final print, I know it’s an impossible task, ‘cause people will still find some. Commas, full stops, semi colons and brackets, float behind my eyes. I just hope it’s all worth it and I win the Booker Prize Book I write… Read more

  • Too Many Peas in a Pod.

    Lady Ann and I love garden peas, after we’ve shelled them we usually cast the pods in the compost bin, is that what you mean by pod casts ? Seriously I don’t usually listen to podcasts, I have listened to Population Balance, and Population Matters on occasion, as I am convinced many of our planets… Read more

  • Too Much of Nothing.

    I absolutely know we are being brain washed and manipulated, to keep the privileged few in wealth. How can it be normal to just want more and more ? Next time you visit a shop, say Next or similar, just stand and look around, how can all that stuff be necessary? We have a coffee… Read more

  • He’s an Animal.

    I’m sorry, I’m tired this evening, going to have a rest, so here’s something from the archive. Oh, Ok then, just a little something new, for dessert, to raise a smile. He’s about 18” tall, he’s got sharp bits at one end, a waggly bit at the other, too many legs no arms, but plenty… Read more
