Poking James MacGuigan’s Cow
This is an old bit of writing from the days when I was still nervous about farm animals. I’ve done a bit of the digital remastering because I was never really happy with it and I thought that while I was fiddling about I would change the subject from a pig to a cow, thus meeting the dictates of this week’s Inspiration Point. So you’d better read it because if you don’t I’ll set James MacGuigan on you.

Trip of a Lifetime

Bob
Posted on Sun, 02 Mar 2025
Hello Jenny.
The Bob Dylan film is excellent but I think it might be best appreciated by people who are already fans. Priyatelkata wasn't as thrilled with it as I was. However, a fan will spot a few inaccuracies (aka artistic licence) but...

Car boot commodities
Posted on Sat, 01 Mar 2025
It is indeed a car boot sale commodity Rhiannon, apparently changing hands at three or four times the price of what it would cost in Asda. The immigrant Marmite runners understandably have to make it worth their while.

Flimsy legs

If pond skaters took to drinking whey protein shakes they could become our planet's dominant species. I think it's worth a try.

And without skates.
Posted on Fri, 28 Feb 2025
And without skates too, which is just as well because they'd struggle to fasten them up.
This is a great poem. And I like your choice of song too.
Nice one Jenny!

Ras Gombo
Posted on Thu, 27 Feb 2025
Unfortunately I never went to Ras Gombo. I just sailed past it in the night... three times actually during the course of my seafaring days. Those waters around the Horn of Africa are a dangerous place to be now. I doubt if I'd be falling into a...

Roberta Flack
Posted on Tue, 25 Feb 2025
That's a wonderful song.
Her other huge hit 'The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face', written by Salford's Ewan MacColl, is a very moving piece to read as poetry even without the music and Roberta's beautiful voice.

Gustav Holst in written word. Lovely lines of great mysteriousness.
I smiled at the concept of Top Tweet Tuesday. It gives the impression that Elon Musk has a fluffy side to him. I tend to forget about Mr Blue Sky. I'll go and have a look...

I get this Jenny.
Roberta Flack's passing a few days ago brought heaviness to my heart as another morsel of reality morphed into mere nostalgia.

Bullied bullies
Posted on Sat, 22 Feb 2025
From my experience it seems that the bullied often go on to be bullies themselves. A real 'vicious' circle. Maintaining constant awareness of the problem's potential is probably the best approach.
An interesting read Jane.

The phone and the IPA
Posted on Sat, 22 Feb 2025
Your woman with the phone and the IPA is much more a hero than the likes of Robbie Williams or David Beckham have ever been. How many people's heroes are true heroes? How many truly brave people have gone unrecognised?
This is a wonderful...
