On of my favoutite books. Jack Kerouac. Well worth a read. Trust me. Meanwhile, if you have a few minutes to spare, you might find these interesting. I have a camera rolling in the car, front and rear facing. Here is a selection of yesterday’s journeys, covering the early school run and a later excursionContinue reading “On The Road”

Being Responsible?
As it’s still flavour of the month, it seems okay to come back to this, so humour me for a moment while I go on and on and on about the same old thing. Several times of late, this has popped up on my Facebook page. Nowt wrong wi’ that, I hear you shout/sense youContinue reading “Being Responsible?”
More Perspective
This morning, I posted this on my Facebook page: “台灣朋友。 自從病毒恐慌開始以來，在台湾已有240人在道路上被殺，數千人受傷。 您要如何應對這種持續的流行病？ 請停止像白痴一樣開車” The translation is: “Taiwan friends. Since the start of the virus panic, 240 people have been killed on the road in Taiwan and thousands have been injured. How do you respond to this ongoing epidemic? Please stop driving like an idiot.” Then,Continue reading “More Perspective”
Ethics
There’s a gag in there somewhere, in which Daffy Duck said he’d bought a new house in Chelmsford, in that county just north east of London, but I’d probably get into trouble if I were to explain. Some time ago, I think I mentioned that the best way to find out what you think aboutContinue reading “Ethics”
An Anagram
The other day, the Internet, or perhaps more precisely the Internet-based thingummy known as Twitter, went a bit mad. Mad in a nice way. There are some quick-witted people out there. Within minutes of this gem being posted… … some wag had come back with the near-perfect riposte. Namely, that PETA is an anagram ofContinue reading “An Anagram”
Education First?
I can’t let this one go. I’d been thinking about a topic close to my heart, then this happened and I can’t remember what the original topic was, so I’d better stick with this before this goes the same way. I have just got home after a ride out in the sticks. I need aContinue reading “Education First?”
Farewell
Yesterday, we had to say goodbye to an old friend. He’s been rather ill in recent months and has struggled through this latest visit with commendable dignity, while suffering considerable amounts of pain. It was a quiet, emotional moment of parting. Hopefully an au revoir, or a 再見, rather than anything more final. It’s neverContinue reading “Farewell”
Dog Dog Meat
Batteries. What a pain in the bloody arse. Guess what this is? According to the boss of Dyson, it’s one of their batteries that will last a billion years. Okay, he didn’t say that, but he did say this, if we are to believe wot Goooogle found for me, just now: “Fifteen years of dailyContinue reading “Dog Dog Meat”
Rhyme and Reasonable?
I have heard it played on the children’s CD player countless times over the past few years, but only now has it occurred to me that a so-called nursery rhyme is rather disturbing, especially falling on the ears of ones so young and impressionable. Of course, I’m referring to this: Goosey goosey gander,Whither shall IContinue reading “Rhyme and Reasonable?”
I am not alone
A picture essay today, inspired by a brief moment the other day when I was looking for something to illustrate my imaginary book. I suppose I should also credit the British comedian Dave Gorman, since I recall that he did a thing a few years back where he contacted all his namesakes. Just for aContinue reading “I am not alone”
