I shout at my phone, It’s consistently “No !!” It eats chunks of text, I know not where they go, I prefer writing on paper, the process is slow, But it’s not like I’m in any great hurry. My phone uses algorithms to edit my text, It supposedly knows what I want to write next, […]
In a word, misophonia. (Fear of sound) A fascinating and somewhat disturbing manifestation that boasts no diagnostic criteria and isn’t thought of as a psychiatric condition. The term Misphonia originated in a publication by audiologists Powel & Margaret Jastreboff in 2000 and is described as a neurological disorder whereby certain trigger sounds can provoke extreme […]
Without delving into religions and beliefs but instead free falling into whimsy, I’d always thought I’d like to come back as a cat living in my house. until I realised I would no longer be here to fuss, spoil, pamper and talk to myself. I wouldn’t be able to ride atop my own shoulders […]
Celebrity is as celebrity does. The very fact that you’re asking may indicate: a) you don’t know either. b) we are both at a loss as to your identity. c) you’re not carrying photo I.D and a compact mirror to remind yourself. This is a nicer problem to have though and easily remedied. If you’re […]
Hello Mucker, stand easy, this isn’t a drill and I assure you, you haven’t lost the plot. I had the opportunity to brief you, give you a bit of a heads up, so I took it. Listen, you’re away in 72. – but I think you knew that already, didn’t you? You have two days […]

For someone weaned and raised on cartoons where the princess always married the prince; if she wore two shoes and ate poisonous apples, Or who chanted rhymes about rowing boats on streams in a life that was but a dream, – which may have been possible in the early 70s with the aid of LSD. […]
if you always do, what you’ve always done, then you’ll always get what you’ve always got. Makes sense. It seems I’m not selling myself well enough on job applications and it’s becoming a problem. I wanted to shake things up a little and approach the problem in a different way. I’d heard that writing a […]
‘They’ say, “The best way to a mans’ heart is through his stomach” Not for Miss Dennehy it seemed. She pleaded guilty to the Peterborough ditch murders and seemed annoyed at being asked to return to court “I pleaded guilty and that’s that. I’m not coming back down here again just to say the same […]
I was ‘let go’ from a job I didn’t enjoy for encouraging the manager to attempt airborne fornication with a spherical object in motion. I wasn’t superhuman back then , even less so now. every so often I do wonder if that manager ever ran with my suggestion. In hindsight; which is a wonderful thing, […]
