“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
I heard the above phrase recently and it has opened up a whole new aspect of research for me. This is something that just about every single person in the history of ever has experienced. From the benign to the pure evil. It might start with comment made to you as a child by your […]
I cannot count the amount of times that I’ve gone back to Oscar Wilde. I bought my sis-in-law a t-shirt when she was about 15 with the quote…I HAVE NOTHING TO DECLARE EXCEPT MY GENIUS. She wore this with pride :o) Some of us are looking at STARS. And they do NOT shine in Hollywood […]
If you remember the nursery rhyme. My brothers and I used to build a huge pile of sand on the beach, walk a long way away and then race each other to see who’d climb the hill first. Whoever did, got to sing the rhyme. P.S. We were NOT averse to dirty tactics and a […]
I know, coming from a multi-generational military family, that STANDARDS are flags. I even know a little bit about the history of STANDARDS. They are called several names : Colours, Flags, Oriflammes, Pennants etc To Raise The Standard used to mean To Fly YOUR Flag. As High As Possible so that everyone could see it. […]
Way back in the mists of time, in a galaxy far, far away… One of the best songs ever written (in my mad opinion) was kept off the No1 Top of the Pops Charts by one of the most annoying songs ever written! A threefer :o) Bottom (before Bottom) Joe Midge. Enjoy.

It has taken me over a week to watch this video. As y’all know, I grew up with Enid Blyton books. They were my Mum’s. F1RST Edition. All in the back bedroom at Nan’s house. Where I lived at least three times for long enough to go to the local village school. And where I […]
Both me and he grew up this way. 1:30/2pm. Sunday. LUNCH. Every kid from my generation thinks that their mother cooked the best Sunday Roast Ever. But his mother is pure genius. Roast potatoes to die for. I brought our kids up like this. Although one of them turned into a complete weirdo and prefers […]
This was written by Horace Walpole in the 1700’s. Hang on…..1764. It’s said to be the very first “GOTHIC” novel ever. I have a copy but…to me it’s on the shelf with the likes of Dickens and Hardy and Waugh etc. When (LOL) I have an entire month in total isolation, I may finish it […]
