Britain Must Re-Apply For EU Membership

by | 6 Apr 2016

Put Up Or Shut Up In an unexpected turnaround at the EU Commission, policymakers have apparently had enough of having to deal with Britain’s politicians using the EU as a scapegoat tied to a punch bag, at the expense of issues of the day that are of more...

March 23: Conversations and Observations

by | 23 Mar 2016

Until yesterday, I thought that maybe I was catching up with a ton of stuff: three blog posts to finish off, a new website for a friend’s restaurant, sorting out a glitch on another, arranging a (very) mini break for the famdamily… until yesterday. Many...

Noise Annoys, but Telly Addicts

by | 14 Mar 2016

Back in the deep, dark mists of time I made some noises, some of which were musical. Being a drummer and sometimes hanging around with musicians, there always was a chance that this might happen. Since then a forrin word has established itself – amongst many...

Fifth Columnists

Slash, kill, rape, torture…

by | 22 Jul 2013

Catholics eh?

by | 15 Jun 2013

It’s the frocks… Pope Francis has admitted to the existence of a ‘gay cabal’ in the Vatican. Pardon my advanced human thinking, but when I read that I laughed so hard I got a snot bubble. Ha! I just looked at it again and the same thing...

Women eh?

by | 14 Jun 2013

… they just can’t take a joke. When one reaches ‘a certain age’, it starts to dawn on one that one’s fellow travellers on this blue dot haven’t progressed quite as much as one had expected – especially back when one was in...
