The writing on the cover is a bit funny. Then I realised it was meant to be that way. White writing on black background. A san-serif trick for the short-sighted drunk. A black dog appears with a red collar. Declan’s dog, Horace. But there is also an allusion to the Churchill version of the Black Dog. Declan is the narrator. He’s the wee guy that wants to be a writer. We’ve all been there. Writers write stuff. But there is another narrator. James...

On our side disablement abounds The sticks the wheels the meds are offered round The glasses, the bus passes Lost my money in London, who knows where One squid left - that's something here and now In a corner shop in Bath. I can buy a chocolate flapjack - porridge and sugar! In fact I was three pennies short of the funds And the sales assistant who was younger and bigger than me Let me away with it. Sharing goes round... Many of us spazzos form...

London Snapshot - 1953 Two young lives Paused on long hold For one minute And for the build up before it. Chris stood surrounded on the roof Holding his gun He shouted 'Come on you coppers Come on all you brave coppers I'm only sixteen' And his mate Derek Bentley Three years older And the slower of the two Standing on the ground Said 'Let them have it Chris'

To be identified as a soldier tells who you are. Lt. General Harold G. Moore, for example, proudly claims in his New York Times Bestseller, We Were Soldiers Once…And Young . But it doesn’t tell what you are. The moron’s moron and Chief Commanding Officer of the United States Army, for example,...

When stars burn out the whole world shines the light We drink and moourn Dave Bowie's spaceship flight We got to Southgate Cemetqry and cry For Amy who died young and flew so high But what about us slobs us losers Drunks, dolies even drug abusers Who gives a toss, not the doctors or the bosees We are scripted off as pure dead losses Social workers cry into the gin About the the damaged souls like Ellie Flynn Who Od'ed when just thirteen in an...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001d6yr https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001ddg1 I listened and was intrigued by The Battersea Poltergeist . Danny Robbins has assembled the same team to tackle another caseload, he terms ‘the most haunted house in Britain’. He’s repeating himself. But I wouldn’t want to stay within spitting distance. Or to put it another way, no way would I stay anywhere near that place. I’m not sure if I believe in ghosts...
