“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 have got to STOP watching these!!!!!! They always start with : a) All American Family b) Pillars of their Small Community c) Living the American Dream Life. Hey. I’m NOT a xenophobe. I AM a xeno – HYPOCRISY – phobe (???) One of my closest/bestest/favouritist friends is American. P.S. Pastor is not a TITLE […]

A member of my extended family shares a name with our host below. I think we get on so well because he’s a History Buff too. He’s my Go-To 20th century World Wars expert. What he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing. AND – he regularly takes groups around the battle sites of France and Belgium […]

I’ve ignored this song too long. Now I’m getting synchronicities out the wasu! The nightingale has a long history with symbolic associations ranging from “creativity, the muse, nature’s purity, and, in Western spiritual tradition, virtue and goodness.” Coleridge and Wordsworth saw the nightingale more as an instance of natural poetic creation: the nightingale became a voice of nature. As a teenager I walked through Berkeley […]

I understand why Dean and Nala have gone all MainStream now. Could YOU do this for two years with NO cash/No Support/Just […]

I will NOT apologise for being given this video right below the last video. WHY? P.S. If you watch the Who Do You Think You Are episode about Annie Lennox…you’ll see that she is also a Scottish peasant who came from the slums (?)

Whenever my school mates and I were bored and/or unwatched (!) we’d take over the record player in the music room and play (max vol) eeerm…..records. Usually punk but also other LP’s or singles that we’d stolen (nope. borrowed) from our parentals. I remember this song. From that time :o) Fanfare for The Common Man/Woman/Child […]

There are MANY reasons why I LOVE this Lewis episode. Rewind. Repeat. Inspector Morse. John Thaw. Colin Dexter. Brilliant Writers. Oxford. Kevin Whately. Geordies. LAURENCE FOX. Music. Inklings. ALAN DAVIES………….etc D.S. Hathaway is an enigma. He studied Theology and wanted to become a priest but “something tragic” happened and he ends up as a PolicePerson. […]

Disclaimer : It’s all HER fault. She’s a bAd Influence! The best minestrone soup I’ve EVER tasted was not in Italy. My crazy World-Traveller in Crime was with me in Abu Dhabi when we dined in the hotel’s Italian restaurant. OK. If SHE hadn’t made me go all googly and giggly with the Italian waiter […]

I am totally in love with this series. And the way the presenter presents each show. His enthusiasm is infectious :o) I might have a very different view on the “timeline” but that doesn’t stop my enjoyment…not least because I always learn something new! The scene with him in the LongBoat wearing the Viking Horned […]
