critical thinking
As you will know by now if you have read my previous bloggages, or follow me on social media, my friend Richard Jones has won Britain’s Got Talent. He is the first magician to win this and, in my humble opinion, is a worthy winner. He’s also a really nice, genuine, humble bloke. But it…

not much has happened
Dear Bloggists, sorry that it has been a while since my last bloggage. Not much has happened in the intervening time… We have been on holiday to Sweden, meeting up with lots of Sally’s friends (and me making new friends). So I have seen lots of lakes, lots of words that in Swedish are normal…

appreciate me now and avoid the rush
We have recently had some unexpected deaths in the music industry. Tragically Whitney Houston and Davy Jones have both died prematurely. Understandably their music has received significant airplay on the radio following their deaths by way of tribute to them. What I am still trying to get my head around is that (and this seems…

The verdict
Time in the bar with friends beats early night. But now it’s appropriate to obey Zebedee Sent from my BlackBerry smartphone from Virgin Media
