ACROSTICS

I love Acrostics. I can do them but seeing them is much more difficult. There are many reasons why I admire Captain Slow…being sacked from a job for having THAT acrostic printed in a Nationwide Magazine is a perfect example :o) Some times writing is MUCH more fun than talking ! P.S. Beware from now […]

The Sound of Silence

Sometimes two very different people come together to make something soo very beautiful that it lasts forever. Paul Simon wrote this song. But without Art Garfunkel it would NEVER have such a Vast and Long-Lived IMPACT on us all. Just My opinion! P.S. Yet another musical sound that I grew up with, without ever realising […]

Earlier today I DECLARED in public, HERE, that The Bible and The Complete Works of Shakespeare were THE SAME book. Uuuurm. The usual silence. I wasn’t disrespecting either book.

Crann Tara

I can this theme as far as it needs to go :o) Crann Tara aka The Fiery Cross was, once upon a time… In Scotland, the fiery cross, known as the Crann Tara, was used as a declaration of war. The sight of it commanded all clan members to rally to the defence of the area. It then became hijacked by….well […]
