Nine days to go until the election that surprised everyone except the people who had inside information and bet on it beforehand. Exactly how many ways can the Conservative game players bring their party down? And why? Labour still fail to enthral. Reform are now siding with Russia so may be another group who enjoyContinueContinue reading “Clarence Countdown…”

We Not They
I used to comment a lot on faulty thinking and I’ve stopped. Time to start again. It may surprise you to know that this saying grates on my nerves. It shows the total lack of balance in human thinking. My question here is: Why can’t the people mentioned in this post be successful people? ThereContinueContinue reading “We Not They”
D-Day 2024
Love and respect for all At a time when the world is watching to see what happens next. How does the current world situation make any sense? We have the lessons of history. There is a massive war.

Creating Happiness
Sometimes happiness arrives on a sunbeam, seemingly out of nowhere, and unexpected joy takes over our lives.

You get treated like an old banger rather than the shiny new cars that adorn the driveways of the youthful and allegedly vibrant. Those old bangersContinueContinue reading “Oldness”
World Patriot
This world seems so big to us, but in galactic terms it’s tiny. When you see images of it floating in space you realise how at one we are. One tiny planet that is minuscule even in terms of our own universe, a pinprick in space. Invisible from a few short light years away. WeContinueContinue reading “World Patriot”

What it Means to be British
John Curry The British are often seen as apologetic losers, too modest to win anything. Accepting defeat too easily. You only have to look at both our top football teams to know how good we are at crumbling when the going gets close to success. I’m not knocking them, I’m the same. I don’t haveContinueContinue reading “What it Means to be British”
