We haven’t spoken about him for a long time, but Friend John appears to be no longer capable of sustaining life. Dead, in other words. His blog posts indicate that he may well have taken a self-administered departure. ‘Each day, as soon as I return,’ they say, ‘I cancel the scheduled posts I’ve set up … Continue reading Oct 14th —The first cut is the deepest.

14th Sept – we’ll drink and we’ll dance ’til the end of our days.
THE FIX IS IN -review. A novella that feels like an eye witness account to a thrilling racing coup. Have you ever come across those stories about people who’ve lived in the future, and come back to tell everyone about it? Not those NDE stories, they’re just dreams, well, perhaps the odd one, but I … Continue reading 14th Sept – we’ll drink and we’ll dance ’til the end of our days.
4th Sept – You are the apple of my eye, forever you’ll stay in my heart.
My pet wasp died yesterday. He didn’t have a name, and we didn’t cuddle up together, but he was no less a pet for all that. We met about 2 months ago or so. I gave him some pieces of apple, and he adored it. It took him a few days to work his way … Continue reading 4th Sept – You are the apple of my eye, forever you’ll stay in my heart.
31st August – King & Conqueror; and Thursday Murder Club. Reviews just in.
Brought to you by our ace TV & film analyst Cubby "eyes like boiled eggs" Begge.swear-word free edition. We’re funny us British, we’re sort of naff, and useless, and miles more timid and ponderous than we’d have you believe —but we’re a race of people happy to hide behind the complacent assumption made by others … Continue reading 31st August – King & Conqueror; and Thursday Murder Club.

5th Aug – Hurry on sundown, see what tomorrow brings.
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?
I feel almost certain that I ventured out yesterday. It's been a while, and I can't be entirely sure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/R-Ihk7Y6ZIo?si=atvjwv5zRRt6tp_Q
June 2025 – Life’s candy and the sun’s a ball of butter.
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.
