Somehow, the 6th in the series seems highly appropriate for the coming year. I’ll leave you to judge for yourself.

If you like a good Fantasy series, then the ‘Chronicles of Amber’ by Roger Zelazny, come highly recommended. Somehow, the 6th in the series seems highly appropriate for the coming year. I’ll leave you to judge for yourself. Been a while since I posted anything. Hardly anyone noticed, because hardly anyone reads this blog. Nothing like looking reality in the face! I have been very busy, doing lots of other things. Decorating (walls and ceilings – not cakes!), designing braking systems (somehow, people who need braking systems come to me. No idea why […] One of the main features of my childhood education, was the determined effort by schools, to teach children ‘useful’ information – such as ‘collective nouns’. We were required to memorise whole pages of useful information pertaining to a group of animals or other things. ‘A gaggle of geese’ ‘A shoal of herring’ ‘A court of […] I recently re-visited my old home town of Methil (or Levenmouth, as the local minions of the bureaucratic State insist on calling it!). The wife and I were attending a family get-together. It was a chance to renew old ties and acquaintances. We stayed in a local hotel. Boy, was that a mistake! The service […] At one time, women drivers were the butt of many a joke. The majority of drivers were men, and a woman driver was ‘obviously less capable’ than a man. Utter claptrap, of course, but a lot of inept male drivers needed some target to deflect criticism from their own inadequacies. Just how they coped with […] Dear Coca-Cola. My wife happened to like the original Coke Zero. Now you have gone and improved it. Why? Did you not learn from the last time that you improved Coca-Cola. New Coca-Cola turned out to be one of the all-time great corporation screw-ups. A ‘Classic’ disaster, self-inflicted and utterly stupid. So, of course, you […] I recently posted my experiences dealing with the Whirlpool corporation, and their inept handling of the ‘Dangerous Tumble Dryer Farce’. When will they come and fix it? In May, they said June. In June, the said [blank] On the phone, they insisted that it would be June. The manager confirmed it. Right up to the […] Went and visited Ely, once again. I like the place. You can keep Newmarket, and Cambridge is a dead-loss – full of buses, cyclists and hypodermic needles. Ely has a very impressive Cathedral, a regular street market on a Saturday, and is popular with people from a lot of different places. It rivals Doncaster in […] There are lots of people working hard, trying to preserve garden wildlife: feed the birds, build a ‘bug hotel’, make a gateway for hedgehogs. All very commendable. “If you see a hedgehog ,” they say “let us know all about it! Hedgehogs are becoming a rarity!” Not in my garden. With the warm, summer nights, […] You all had your chance to vote. You voted to leave the European Union. You will have to live with the consequences. I shall inform you that I voted to ‘Remain’. The EU is flawed, but the ideal is still something to be desired. You believed the claim that £650,000,000 a week would be available […] |
