That’s the idea behind the forums, which can be found here. Well, ok, maybe not unlimited – I mean, we’re bound to disagree, and I welcome robust discussions! If you are interested, sign up – but by all means browse first to see if there are topics of interest, and feel free to create topics […]
Despite making it abundantly clear to a certain evangelical that their comments would no longer be permitted, said evangelical has failed to take the hint and has left comments on a regular basis. They fall straight into the moderation queue and then get binned, because frankly, they are not worth the time to dissect. However, […]
In light of recent ‘discussions’ (and repeated acts of trolling against me) I have developed and posted a comments policy, to help people understand what kind of conversations I hope to have on this site, and to help people understand what the rules are. The page is a permanent addition to the menu, and it […]
We are well into August! Somehow, we have arrived at the heart of the British summer, but are we in one piece?! The answer is yes, more or less. The initial experience of the end of July/start of August was one of feeling tired, something I put down to the second covid jab. I didn’t […]
Greetings ‘kats! I may or may not turn this into a series of regular posts, but I’ve been inspired by a tweet to try something… If I Could… The premise is easy enough. What if I could do <insert idea here>? To begin, we’ll tackle the question posed by Ms Duane’s tweet… The trouble with […]
I’d thought I’d deleted this, but my old Livejournal account is still, um, live. You could describe it as a window to a time of… Well, I’m not sure. A time when I lived in Stevenage and not Basildon, a time transitioning between towns and careers, and some observations of my life and work at […]
… won’t be happening next week, as instead I’m sorting out my review of 2020. Stay tuned for my take on what’s been a very challenging twelve months!
It occurs to me that generally speaking, my posts are quite unstructured. By that, I mean, I tend to post what I want, when I want. Of course, it’s my blog, so I can do what I want, but is that necessarily fair on the readers? Would both blogger and bloggee (is that a word?) […]
I figured it wouldn’t hurt to put all the ways and means of contacting/interacting with me in one, easy to find place – in case the social media links weren’t obvious enough. An important project is The Coalition of the Brave. New contributors are always welcome. You can catch me on Facebook. You’ll definitely catch […]
This isn’t especially big news, but I’m debating changing the theme of the site. I’ve had this particular layout for a while now, maybe I should freshen things up?
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
