Observations on the world and its inhabitants
One of the commonest words I hear from my close circle of contacts is ‘later‘. The next is ‘I’ll check’ – like do I need to know? Why not check first and then say ‘done it’? I don’t know. Jeeez! Maybe people feel they are being polite or some nonsense. If in the odd chance … Read more
Some will become obsessed with the video below, and unearthing my supposed underlying motivations for posting it. I well know that others will invoke their own suppositions which will form their reality foisted up on me e.g. “you’re just obsessed with her.. don’t tell lies!“. I’ll leave that right there, cuz to argue against such bullshit … Read more
As a lifetime member and supporter of Magnatune, I share some music that I find uplifting. It’s surely not bound to be your cup o’ tea. Sub-conscious by Chris Field ———— Beethoven Symphonies 4 5 6 by Bezdin Ensemble
You know her from (or as) ABBA. She’s back with a new album at Amazon. I’ve listened to the sample tracks, and I’m in doubt about getting her songs. I mean this is like my experience with Stevie Nicks trying to make a ‘comeback’. They just don’t ‘feel’ the same. I mean they sound very … Read more
I’ll be hooked on Amy’s songs for the next few weeks, I can tell. Amy’s been a star in Scotland, where the Cap is heading for a ‘trip’ in July. [I’m sure there is at least one idiot out there who’s thinking that my trip to Scotland has something to do with Amy. I mean … Read more

Yep – amma snapping fingers and bopping all over my floor. LOL. They’ve really worked on their act and this album. I’m just getting … Read more
I’ve only just discovered Missy Higgins a few days ago. I’m unapologetic – cuz I have so much going on and I don’t have the time that others have to be looking and finding out who’s good and great. Anyways, her voice and style are just great. She makes the lyrics come alive. Yes – … Read more
Me and a crew member [instead of crew member and I – cuz I decide how I write, or need to write] were approaching an automated checkout. Crew member becomes flustered that I approach the machine at all, so he departs. He knows about my history with machines!! LOL. I press a button on screen … Read more
