Our Visit to the Doctor

Are You Reading A Book Or Story?
I was talking to someone who said that he was reading my book on his tablet. Being a bit of a pedant myself, I had to stop myself from saying something, not least though because I didn't want to stem his adoration of my work...
When a Book Costs Less Than a Drink…
When a Book Costs Less Than a Drink… I will admit it straight from the off! I am a writer with an axe to grind and I cannot understand people who complain that books are too expensive. Most books, in…
#FBPE – The Anti-Brexit Twitter Hashtag
#FBPE – The Anti-Brexit Twitter Hashtag Have you ever heard of #FBPE ? No, I hadn’t until recently either, but apparently #FBPE is the anti-Brexit hashtag that is sweeping the country amongst those who can’t see the sense in leaving…
Spamming YouTube
Spamming YouTube YouTube is owned by Google, which I will admit right up front is not one of my favourite companies. In my opinion, Google behaves like most bad, bossy fathers, demanding that you do as they say, not as…
Water Supply
Water Supply I didn’t realise it until today, but the local water supply was cut off five days ago. Please don’t assume that I don’t wash often, it isn’t that, we have a water tank with a capacity of a…

Linguistic Sloppiness
Linguistic Sloppiness. As my regular readers will know, I am in love with languages, so I have noticed a strange shift in the BBC’s reporting. When I was a student of the USSR and Russian in the seventies, we talked…
American versus English
American versus English I have had a hard week one way and another, but mostly because of the way different people have a different take on things or even life, I suppose. A lot of it has had to do…
Site Maintenance
Site Maintenance Site maintenance is an important part of any webmaster’s duties and has to be taken seriously, but it is not usually an onerous task. However, in the last thirty days or so, two of the largest players on…
Patreon – What’s That All About?
Patreon is a place for artists to form closer bonds with their fans and raise money to improve their art. In my case, this would give me more time to write
Carling Black Label
Carling Black Label I think I remember when Carling Black Label was first introduced to the widespread British beer-drinking public. There was an advert for Carling lager on television and my mother commented that that was my father’s latest favourite…
Your Computer: The Spy You Trust
