Do you remember when Friend John and I returned to the UK in the spring of last year? I can talk about this now that he has passed to the other side. I’d prefer to say, ‘Now that he is dead,’ but we do keep receiving emails from him in purgatory, so I guess, until … Continue reading Nov 16th – So, if you’re down on your luck, I know you’ll all sympathise…

28 Oct – Fifteen minutes with you, well, I wouldn’t say no.
So, I’ve heard from Friend John. Whether the message comes from limbo, or his fevered imagination before passing, it’s hard to tell. It’s his second message since meeting his end, and, given that he had virtually no followers to tune into his genius, I pass it on, to honour his memory. It may be AI, … Continue reading 28 Oct – Fifteen minutes with you, well, I wouldn’t say no.
ADVERTISING FEATURE
You know how MAGA Republicans have strong branding, and are easily identified, whereas all normal people just seem to melt away into the background, unnoticed? Fake news. I don't have that many teeth. The ones I have, just happen to big that's all. They're the best teeth, the biggest teeth. Nobody's got teeth like this. … Continue reading ADVERTISING FEATURE
Oct 14th —The first cut is the deepest.
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.
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.
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 three years. No, I tell a lie, seven years. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NBU9ETUib5Y?si=AEQ-6fpW9Wkyr-Kp audio version … 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
