I just watched Russell Crowe in the classic Movie Gladiator. You know the line when he turns to the crowd and says Are you not entertained? I have always felt it would have been so much fun if he’d said it in a camp voice!

Not so Smartphone’s.
Smart… Today, walking along south Sanur beach, close to the Mercure hotel I literally saw a one-armed man walking with a smartphone in his hand. What would he do if he tripped? What would be his reaction? Faceplant and save the phone? Drop the phone and save himself? My mind boggled. Maybe I am oldContinue reading “Not so Smartphone’s.”
Smartphones.
I think they should be renamed as Dumbphones. The Orange buffoon would be proud to tell you there is a ‘B’ in dumb. I also think there is a bee in his cranium and it is buzzing around in the space that should hold a brain. I think that for many people doomscrolling has becomeContinue reading “Smartphones.”

Fairy Hanny Rides Again!
So I was sitting here at my laptop, editing two of my current works of Art. However I just lost focus on both books. I finally found the antagonist behind Inspector Flaanges mystery in Death at the Dick factory, but the prose was just so turgid. Then I went on to edit St. Neds, theContinue reading “Fairy Hanny Rides Again!”
Swifty’s diet tips…have a great weekend
Wear big clothes. Eat less. Don’t eat burnt fish! Bacon is sane. Eat banana skin so nobody falls over. Kale looks good on a model railway. A steak tastes better and is less chewy than a stake. Fairy cakes should be ordered by Gnomes. Fried lettuce burns Elephants should be consumed one piece at aContinue reading “Swifty’s diet tips…have a great weekend”
Why did I study Physics?
Physics
I’ve been a bit slow recently, but I put it down to Newtonian Mechanics…
