I thought of you today, old friend As they shouted out to eat the phone book Do you remember coming home and finding me Beneath the bed Staring at the springs Claiming to be totally sober Long time since sober I tried to tell you on your last dot com But lost fiveContinue reading “Billy”

Daft Elves and Time Travellers
“You’re on the ball now!” Wayne adjusted his underwear and sat more comfortably. “Do you know about the Witch King?” enquired Wayne, with a slight look of pain in his eye; though it may just have been a tear of sympathy at his former predicament; or maybe it was irritated by mushroom spores that wanderedContinue reading “Daft Elves and Time Travellers”
Prelude: That what must it be.
Two Black holes collided and ate each other without really affecting the fabric of Space-Time, though that has nothing to do with our story. There is a disturbance in the River of Time, wallowing through the sludgy rising tides in the Sea of Life; churning undefined particles from the beginning to the end of theContinue reading “Prelude: That what must it be.”
University Twerps
There were just things that drove me mad. It was the posh boys that did it. You see, they had failed at school and all of their rich mates had gone on to study in the 18th Century at Oxford and Cambridge. Coprolite Studies in city’s trapped inside their own indifference; twas ever thus. PlayingContinue reading “University Twerps”
Reflections on words
I was going to start with ‘mirror’ but that is just a bad Physicists joke and I am a bad Physicist. When working through chapter 24 tonight and had to look up quite a few words. I love Google – I still remember sitting at home with an Oxford dictionary, a dictionary of etymology andContinue reading “Reflections on words”
Chapter 8 – Dumbell Ena
The atmosphere inside the inn was very much like that of any Public House anywhere in the Known Universe. It was probably the same as any Public House in the Unknown Universe but that will never be known.. There was one major difference; you have to travel far and wide on earth to find aContinue reading “Chapter 8 – Dumbell Ena”
Back again after a long delay
I cant believe it was Feb 2018 that I last wrote a post. Then my password was compromised and I had to change it but just didn’t get around to it. I was living in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria at the time and sort of losing direction. I´d gone back to teaching Maths andContinue reading “Back again after a long delay”
My right foot
She who must not be mentioned says she must not be mentioned. So I will talk about my right foot. It is still there, despite an attempt many years ago by a taxi driver, who due to lack of sleep and lack of intelligence, decided to drive his taxi through my motorcycle. This wouldContinue reading “My right foot”
Friends, stupidity, the beach, boobs and bums
Today I got stuck on a couple of paragraphs, attempting to explain the delights of floating down the River Thyme on a barge. I had the two Elf´s, Mad Tom of Bedlam, Mad Magdalene and Fairy Hanny on the barge of Mr. O´Nighon. I just couldn´t make the text flow like I saw the riverContinue reading “Friends, stupidity, the beach, boobs and bums”
Physicist proves watched kettles do boil!
They say a watched kettle never boils, but Irish Physicist Eamon Glasscock has set out to disprove this theory and made some other remarkable discoveries on the way. Glasscock, 26, a post-doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Wollongong in Dubai, has spent a lifetime fascinated by things that get hot. “As a child IContinue reading “Physicist proves watched kettles do boil!”
