February! We look to the horizon, in hope, though alas there is still a long way to go before normality returns. I wish Covid-19 was not the dominating factor behind so many Muses, but it’s impossible to avoid how the pandemic treads upon virtually all aspects of our lives. Take work for example. Over the […]
I’m not quite sure what to make of snow. It’s beautiful to gaze at through a window. Freshly-fallen snow creates a stunning, serene landscape. Walking in freshly-laid snow, experiencing that crunch under one’s foot, is a satisfying moment. That all said, snow is also cold, it turns to a mushy ice before long, and if […]
Having achieved an unlikely promotion to League One in the 21/22 season, I allowed my Aldershot squad a chance to bask in their glory and recuperate ahead of what would prove to be a most challenging season (well, I suspect it would be challenging), but a manager’s work is never done. I’d already (and perhaps […]
… Grows a forest. Recently my daughter has expressed a desire to peer into the family history, and in doing so fired up a renewed interest of my own. Others in my family have already been tracing the family tree, and uncovered more than I could have imagined. So far, the research relates to my […]
After 30 matches Aldershot had reached the unlikely position of 2nd in the League Two table, in the club’s first post-promotion season. We were five points clear of the playoff places and the team had just won nine of their last ten league fixtures. The results were beyond anything I’d expected, but if asked (not […]
When we last spoke of Aldershot’s… well, let’s face it, it was a brilliant start to the 21/22 season… the team had found itself in the automatic promotion spots. It was early days, and in truth I didn’t expect a team of Aldershot’s resources to stay there, but considering the primary objective was to survive […]
Continuing with the general theme of exploring the concept of morality, I’m going back to some old arguments and responding to them with new ideas. Specifically, I am addressing an argument frequently put forward over at Blogging Theology – namely that atheism is a bloodthirsty, immoral philosophy. The (mis)representation of atheism is that it’s a […]
Previously I’d guided Aldershot from a struggling place near the foot of the National League, to playoff glory and promotion to the professional realn of the Football League. This is where things would get real. League Two is not like even the pinnacle of semi-professional football. This is where clubs of various sizes mingle. This […]
Not for the first time, I’m finding myself drawn to discussing the morality of God, specifically God of the Bible, and in particular a number of Old Testament verses that lead me to question the morality of God. I’m also responding to David Tee of Theology Archaeology, who has written a response to an earlier […]
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 […]
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. […]
