Inferred, Suggested, insinuated…
I’m about to say some controversial things, they may upset, they may annoy, but I do this. Read it with an open mind, then decide. As ever, I am not an expert and I’m willing to be dead wrong… All advertisements are basically a load of bollocks, and because of them, and other tv shows… Continue reading

What is pleasing and what is not.
The altruistic act is oft misunderstood, as misunderstood as the self-regarding act. Most acts are arguably self-regarding, and it is important to bear in mind that if they seem, on quick inspection, to be for others, they may be ultimately be for the self.

What to say today?
Often I have no idea what I am going to write, I just sit down and a rant falls out of my fingers. Let’s face it, that’s what my post are usually about, something that’s been weighing on my mind, something that irks me. Today though I watched an episode of Luther (UK Tv Drama,… Continue reading
