    Postman (a poem)

    I sit and wait for you to come To the door I sit and wait for letters to drop Onto the floor Some times you’re early But you’re never late I suspect you’re quite burly By how you shove the gate Giros, postcards And bills Letters, death threats and thrills Parcels, Junkmail Fingers Squashed snails

  • Day Two: A Room with a View (Or Just a View)

    In the wooly wilds of North Wales, there is a place dear to me. A peaceful place. A place where magic awaits. A serene place where the only loud noise is the occasional jet fighter from Valley flying over head or the farmer making bales of hay. This place is nearly  unpronounceable at a campsite

  • The milkman – A poem

    There is a man He is quite cheery Every morning When my eyes are bleary He comes up the path Whistling a tune Be it Dark November July or June In his hand are bottles White and creamy He delivers the milk While I’m still dreamy Juice and eggs He does too Loaves of bread

  • I’m looking forward to dinner. It’s dinner time. Tonight, I will dine on fine pork sausages with a bacon sandwich side and chips. Nothing else. Just that. The bread of the sandwich will be fried in the bacon fat, just like my nan used to do for me, only on one side. I will dress

  • I want to be….A BBC Breakfast Expert

    I love BBC Breakfast. Much more now that the awful strumpet Suzanna Reid has moved on to channels I never watch.   Bill Turnbull is like some calming midweek Uncle, regaling the viewers with tales of bad news from around the UK and the rest of the world. Steph McGovern is like a big sister

  • People on the bus – Making the world a better place – Part two

    So I’m driving home from work and I’m listening to the wireless and the Home service Radio 4. The programme being broadcast was about a newspaper editor from Zimbabwe and how he is adapting to life as an asylum seeker in the UK. One of the main differences, he pointed out, between Harare and the

  • Making the world a better place – Part one

    Bloody hippies. Sitting there in their kaftans with their long hair and beards, weaving yogurts and floating vaginas. Why can’t they be pissed off and angry like everyone else. Yes. Why not? I mean its such a lovely world isn’t it. People hating each other, blaming each other, being nasty to each other and complaining

  • Music Project Round 2 Long term readers will recall that I started a music project where I would review my music collection by album. Well it didn’t last long because I became very busy last year. However I am reviving the project again hosted elsewhere on WordPress. Over the next few weeks I will be

  • They’re all out to get me

    Sometimes I can’t help feeling singled out. Of course I know it’s nonsense but I like to think that the reason some things happen is because of a greater conspiracy. One involving the “Powers that be” be that the illuminati, the Government, MI5, Tescos, the man in the post office that looked like Elvis or
