What’s something you believe everyone should know. Please note: When I say ‘start a war’ I’m not referring to troops, I’m referring to the powers that send in the troops. Yes I know I’m normally more creative than this but to be honest, the amount of killing in a so called modern world beggars belief,ContinueContinue reading “Killing is wrong”

Simple Answer
What does it mean to be a kid at heart? Simple fun Children are thrilled by life. All the new things they see everyday. From the moment they can see the world is full of wonder. They’re untouched by the reality of adults. Obviously reality has to catch up with us, but wonder shouldn’t beContinueContinue reading “Simple Answer”

Best not!
Describe a family member. Kidding…sort of. I come from a wildly screwed up family. The past is somewhere I don’t go.

HeContinueContinue reading “Best not!”

I just don’t think I’d enjoy the experience of being locked into a tube,ContinueContinue reading “Nothing”

Then I went to Bath Spa University to do English (which irritated me – long funny story) and Creative English (which it turned out I didn’t need), so I swapped to myContinueContinue reading “The Unexpected Importance of History”
Different but similar
What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? The day job I chose university lecturer in history for my day job, but unfortunately that didn’t work out. In truth that wasn’t a bad thing, although it wasn’t good either, but it did leave me to work on one of my three callings,ContinueContinue reading “Different but similar”
