After the years of plenty
The Deputy Governor of the Bank of England has reliably informed us that the current economic slump is as bad as other major financial slumps like the great depression and the 1970 recession.

Could this really happen?
Jacky had stopped at a red light while on his way to work and noticed a beautiful young woman crossing the road in front of him.

Even daisies
For so many years, I'd walk in a field that would fill with daisies in the summer. As I entered my teens and began to show an interest in the girls in my school as they were becoming woman, I used to spend some time in this field picking daisies and hoping upon hope.... She loves me, she......Read More

two or four
I was having a bad time trying to get my requirements across. The clerk was doing his best to be helpful but was having trouble understanding what I wanted. “Say again what you want?” He asked. I took a slow, gentle breath and trying hard not to roll my eyes began, once again,......Read More

Fishing for problems
I sat on the quay side, legs dangling over the edge and my rod tucked under my arm. The fish weren't biting but then I wasn't there to catch them anyway. I had a relationship problem and needed time to think. I'm sure that over the centuries, my predicament had played itself out with all......Read More

Gordon Brown's brilliant strategy
Yay, more local elections... So, for some of us at least, we had a chance to choose our local councillors. These are the men and woman who will be managing our local communities, determining local policy and spending our council tax on local projects. They'll be providing......Read More

something happened
It's become apparent I need a dictaphone of sorts or my wife needs to learn shorthand. Yet again last night, while enjoying some ecological delights, a friend and I had a really good laugh about something. That's just it in the end... something... because, in typical form, I can't......Read More

Our aged hero, Uncle Bob
Let's not beat about the bush, Uncle Bob knows how to hang on. He's battled worse odds when fighting for liberation and come though with flying colours so he's experienced. Even before the Zim elections, I'd predicted Bob would still be in charge despite the outcome. Why? ......Read More

From Sunday to Monday
Don't blame Monday for being a Monday, it's all Sundays fault for being a day off work. Amy Winehouse lives up to her name, Kate Moss proves that drugs do pay and Pete Doherty proves that it's all about marketing, not talent. That's what Mondays are about. ...Read More
