Animal Welfare
Greenwashing, history washing - let's start on cruelty washing, today.
Animal welfare stops, for some reason, when one has no voice. If you can’t scream, you feel no pain – apparently.
Ask an angler.
Sport
Unwind, sport underlined, but ill defined,hanging on a line.Yeh! Call it sport!After all, it's only partial pain As the line winds and unwinds.Excruciating covers it - just.If evolution had given meA vocal cordyou'd hear screamsAnd animal rightlers wouldPut…

Blue-sky thinking always has a cloud
Where would you go on a shopping spree?
The word, ‘spree,’ says to me, shopping therapy, buying things you wouldn’t normally, maybe don’t need.
So don’t do it!
Such purchases become unsatisfying, almost before you have reached home and ignore the plight of people unable to afford essentials.
I have just done a shopping spree, on ebay.co.uk. Two CDs from musicmagpie.co.uk, less than a fiver…

Today's actions are tomorrow's outcomes
Do you believe in fate/destiny?
Whatever I do today, will determine tomorrow.
If I go to bed early, it will influence when I get up tomorrow, which will influence my day – my destiny.
On this basis, history must be predetermined. A kidnap in Israel has sealed the fate of 30000 dead and millions displaced in Gaza. This will determine the lives, or the fate of millions more.
It’s not a question…

Be brave and true to yourself.
What advice would you give to your teenage self?
I was a teenager in the 60s. I’ve written extensively about it. Angst and the Beatles Generation is a set of short stories about being a teenager, just before we were released from the slavery of being clones of our mums and dads.
Be a person, take advice from others but above all, be prepared to take risks to get the results you want. Teenagers…

Fashion
What bores you?
Wear clothes – kinda makes sense, but then sensible clothing, which puts high heels and slit jeans in the dustbin.
Drive a car – if you have to, then a car commensurate to your needs. A farmer might need an SUV but not normal folks to do the shopping or visit mum on Sunday. It’s crass and boring and is killing our children.
But the problem is, where to stop. If we eliminate all…

Only the worst.
Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?
I try not to be patriotic. It is difficult. We are wired from birth to love the things we know, the things around us that make us the person we are, make us feel good, that define our comfort zone.
But that comfort zone makes us lack discretion. We work on what we feel, not on reality.
I have learned, that which we believe to be the…

A seasonal thing
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why?
It has to be the mountains in summer and the beach in winter.
Here’s why.
The thrill of over-exposure to wind, the grind of sand in every crack and sandwich, pales quickly, but that’s life on the beach in the UK. Go to the Med, swap wind for sun – done.
So do it in winter, when there is no allure, nothing to seduce you to take your clothes off and…

Napoleon Bonaparte
If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?
He was a genius, gave us laws protecting the working man from feudal nastiness, sensible system of measurement based on the mass of a cubic centimetre of water, city planning – where to end the list of achievements. One could go on.
So why did he have to be a war monger, resulting in the deaths of millions? Hubris? Stupidity?
He…

What else have we?
Do you trust your instincts?
You only have your accumulated wisdom and that translates to a gut feeling.
But humankind has never had so much opportunity to check their instincts and there have never been so many swindlers trying to wreck us.
Stay safe.

Don't fight a losing battle
What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?
The one I’m in.
Don’t stress over things you can’t change.
Learn to accept the unchangeable.

First impression
What’s the first impression you want to give people?
Cool but honest.
Articulate but not a bullshitter, which I probably am, so gotta hide that one.
Laid back, but short of horizontal.
Charismatic but not arrogant – difficult to manage.
Well educated, (easy) but knowledgeable, (not easy. There is so much one will never know).
Quiet and contemplative. That’s me at my best. People might think…

Just a points problem - before Brough
Manchester Piccadilly stream of consciousness.
Early Bird, twirly turd, burly bird.
Mind searches ridiculous rhymes
for an occasional moment.
Think - early bird.
500 will do.
How hard is that?
A proper writer can write 500 words on anything,
but this one took the biscuit.
Burly biscuit, early biscuit, early basket.
Basket of twirly biscuits.
Nothing popped from my tired…

Sewing machines
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).
I don’t know how many. I had a sum of money and was told, at a purchase power of 15:1 it would be enough to equip a trading/training workshop.
I paid, the bank took so much in charges that it was no longer enough for the sewing machines.
I can’t remember how we resolved that one. I do know the bank didn’t…

History foibles
What major historical events do you remember?
Coronation of Elizabeth 2.
It rained, I was as bored as a five year old could be. Ugh.

JFK.
I was on my way to the Fairfield Halls to see some nonsense plays by Ionesco. How apt. We still don’t know the truth.

History can let us down.
What I have been working on. Genocide in two languages.
What have you been working on?
Many things we take for granted as true, are in fact, not the product of an exact science. History is an example.
Historians often have an agenda. They will claim independent thought and analysis but we all know how we react when the evidence doesn’t concur with our beliefs and likes. We hate it.
I chose three examples of where history has failed us and wrote…
