Hi. Ann. My mental jaw is still on the floor after your post about Mr. Mister’s “Kyrie”. I was born in November. 1976. and I can remember the day that my mother got that tape brand new in her first shipment from the Columbia Record and Tape Club. I’ve heard it for years on the (…)


So I have had a little rather amusing running commentary with an avowed feminist. and it’s been rather amusing. In fairness to her I have to say that she has managed to hang in there rather good naturally and has not run off in a rage-huff. but. as you will see. readers… there is a (…) No related posts.

He had spent time in the opposition and had won a parliament election in 2024. The clone the powersRead more...







So Donald and I agree on this. but I want to go a step further. I am sure I am joined by the vast majority of American on this: Stop spending money and sending bodies to man American military bases in Italy. Take them all back. Every single one. thanks.

Change”. currently on sale at the Labour Party online shop for a mere £12.50. One has to admire the way that Sir Keir Starmer allowed himself to be photographed with his sleeves rolled up. but loosening his tie was a step too far. The ungovernable country. Why Britain keeps losing prime ministers – Tom Clark in the Guardian. Britain isn’t ungovernable. Our leaders just can’t govern – Tom Harris in the Telegraph.


My ongoing advice - remove your support from the rotten structures. or you will end up buried under the collapse. and these parasites will still be on top.

I was reading a book this morning and I came across the phrase 'the mists of time'. As always I felt a frisson of pleasure. It's one of the many clichés that strike me as intensely poetic.What is a cliché. anyway. We can't be entirely original with every utterance. Why is it OK to use an idiom and not a cliché. What's the difference.There are some clichés I just hate. such as 'life-hack' and 'bucket list'. [The critique in the link is from ....
