Do you know the story of King Canute? Hardly anyone does. It goes a bit like this: Canute, so frustrated by the sycophants and pygmies in his court –who claimed divine powers on his behalf- tried to persuade them otherwise. To make his point, he had them take his throne to the seaside, so that … Continue reading 5th Aug – Hurry on sundown, see what tomorrow brings.

July 16 – Le Freak, c’est chic.
I squeezed a massive spot behind my ear the other day. It was probably a day off being absolutely ripe, nevertheless, or perhaps because of that, it was, by a country mile, the most satisfying thing that’s happened to me in the last five years. No, I tell a lie, seven years. Before I’d even … Continue reading July 16 – Le Freak, c’est chic.
2nd July – I want to shout, but I can hardly speak.
-I always assume that we are of the same cohort. Apologies if our grooves don’t run in parallel. There is much to catch up on. I owe you an explanation, I know, but not yet. Nearly. I need first to tell you about my coming out party- I’d forgotten this. Being in an altered state. … Continue reading 2nd July – I want to shout, but I can hardly speak.
Sometime BST – At the window, there’s a face you know. Don’t the time pass slow?

18th May – It’s very nice to just wander the camel route to Iraq, but it’s so much nicer, yes it’s oh so nice, to wander back.
I had a go at being normal the other day. The first part, a thirty-mile bike ride, passed tolerably well. But as soon as I descended from Boffin and rejoined the tribe, we, me and my independent mind, were soon wishing that we’d stuck with the original plan - to stay indoors until the local … Continue reading 18th May – It’s very nice to just wander the camel route to Iraq, but it’s so much nicer, yes it’s oh so nice, to wander back.
4th May – but tell me does he kiss, like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same, when he calls your name?
Do you remember Frances? Slight, reticent; cool bob - crooked fringe; skinny legs sticking out of her ironically, other-era, mini-dress. How I loved her edgy confidence that was punctuated by giggles, as if she was withholding what she really thought about everyone else. How I wanted to tell her that I recognised something in her … Continue reading 4th May – but tell me does he kiss, like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same, when he calls your name?
30 April – You’ve been crying, your face is a mess.
Simply reorganise these notes into your own article on loss trauma, regret, anxiety, fault, guilt, and responsibility for these things. I would only make a mess of it. . https://www.youtube.com/embed/iFZVcN98Hl4?si=RzkpahU-ew9Kpu3N
About this section
In a desperate attempt to widen the appeal of this celebration of misery, I, like Sammo Bietch before me, with his ideas about football, have been offered this small corner of the internet to present my thoughts. My name is Cubby Begge and I will be writing about things that I have watched on some … Continue reading About this section
