I wondered whether or not to post this. Prior conversations with the author of Theology Archaeology, Silence of Mind and Tom have been fruitless. Is there any point in perpetuating them? On the other hand, for the sake of the record, and for completeness, I believe it prudent to lay out my version of recent […]
I saw this topic come up via Lolsys Library’s blog, and it was too good a topic to ignore. There are many laws, right here in the UK, that are unreasonable and unrealistic. I think they serve to prop up power structures, and help the haves to trample the have-nots. Lolsys mentioned the manner in […]
What’s quite interesting about this prompt, is that both of the towns I have lived in (Stevenage and Basildon) have a sort of shared history, to a certain degree. Both towns are noted as small settlements in the Domesday Book of 1086 (the Book being a sort of census of William the Conqueror’s holdings at […]
Following the double-standards employed by Citizen Tom, and the outright lies employed by Silence of Mind, a third party (a long-standing opponent of this site, and of Bruce Gerencser) weighed in. His claims are as dishonest as they come. First off, thanks to Citizen Tom and Silence of the Mind for defending me in some […]
This meerkat has been fortunate enough to be quite well-travelled. I have had a fair bit of experience travelling by train, by ferry, and by plane. Trains are by far my favourite form of transport, though I don’t mind plane travel (despite a degree of anxiety shortly before every flight). Ferries leave me feeling sea-sick, […]
I discovered this prompt via Filling the Jars, and I thought this would be an interesting, self-reflective exercise, that we could all do with from time to time. In the past, I had moments of insecurity around who I was. On occasion, the traits that I feel make me me, were derided or criticised. The […]
Recently, Silence of Mind declared me to be someone who edits the comments of others on my site. This is quite ironic, considering he deleted swathes of comments of mine from one of his own posts (granted, deleting is not the same as editing). His claims of editing carry no weight, and he has not […]
For this prompt, I have returned to Ariel’s Writing Radiation post on… prompts! Ghost stories are a classic means of scaring someone. The question is, what truth lies behind the fables? Not far from where I grew up is Knebworth House. This venerable country estate plays host to film crews and events, and has a […]
Recently, Citizen Tom decided to dissect a post of mine. I could respond, but I don’t feel the impetus. He has his views across a series of subjects, I have mine, and we’ll end up talking past each other. There’s little point in furthering such conversations. What I did note was the spurious, dishonest claim […]
This prompt is pretty creative. What might hinge upon the flip of one tiny coin? It’s an interesting, if potentially risky, means of living one’s life. We could say that heads is to always say ‘yes’, and tails is to always say ‘no’. Knowing me, the coin would land perched on its side, just to […]
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...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
