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.”
Honda!
Way back in the days of my youth when I was told what it means to be a man… I think it was in the second year of my Applied Physics B.Sc. course at the Lanchester Polytechnic in Coventry. One of the lads went missing for a while. It was not unusual for people toContinue reading “Honda!”
Marcus Aurelius
In the development of my next volume (WIP) Fairy Hanny and the Knights in White Satin, one of the Time Travellers claims to have met Marcus Aurelius.

Puberty
When I was in St. Kevins Roman Catholic High School back in the 60’s and 70’s, we had 2000 adolescent boys. Sex was the dominant chat.

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?

5. Camels and Goats
It still makes me smile when I see the road sign indicating Beware of Camels! On my way into the city I have to travel along some back roads and a long dual carriageway, all surrounded by open land. The local farmers have various herds of camels that seem to just wander freely around theContinue reading “5. Camels and Goats”
