Blighty Lockdown Etiquette
Typical British etiquette, I’m in the queue at the pharmacy about 3 back of 6 waiting when a woman arrives at the front of the queue who just needs to “check something” she says, so she goes in next when the previous comes out, and not one of us says anything of course. Out she Continue reading

Experimenting with echoes
Recently I have been conducting a highly scientific experiment on the power of suggestion. I have been repeating a phrase over and over, not repetitively but just when I can find a way to squeeze it in, to two children that a good friend of mine is related to. Let’s call them Fuzz and Rona Continue reading

This is a phenomenon, the popularity of this woman is incredible, and what an impact her popularity has… But is it the person, the product, or is this thing that Continue reading

Bar Staff
Bar staff have immense power, for they do the dispensing. Alcohol is fundamental to societal order. It sedates us, it encourages us, it elevates our collective spirits in these times of gloom. It offers immediate salvation in ways that religion never could and reignites fading passions. It gets us reproducing. It digs our holes and Continue reading

Sports fans, a paradox
I like sports, nearly all of them. the spectacle of competition and the excitement of it all. I watch major stuff, like the world cup or the Olympics, as most do. I think however that I might have spotted some problems with these events. I have no intention of criticising the sports themselves, instead I Continue reading

Avoiding the Ms
I know a man who has visited the sexual health clinic more than once, he had Chlamydia twice at least. He told me that on both occasions the girl he slept with to get it had a first name beginning with the letter M. “So stay away from girls whose first name begins with M” Continue reading
