It must have been convincing.

It must have been convincing.

I was distracted by a couple of members of the audience looking at their phones during my performance.

Am I being that boring or self indulgent? I wondered.

Posted on Mon, 04 May 2026

Jukeboxes in pubs started to appear in the 1950s, but only in establishments that wanted a 'modern' image and to attract a younger clientele. (In a later decade, the Greyhound even had a disco that I used to frequent.) However, during this period...

This was actually supposed to have been a violent political thriller but Google took exception to my parameters when I was researching how an ordinary person would obtain a weapon and plan an assassination. (I'm probably flagged on a government...
