Kes

Posted on Sun, 09 Feb 2025

The Biederbecke Affair was typical 1980s Sunday evening light hearted drama and although entertaining at the time it might seem a bit dated now.

Kes, however, is an absolute classic of British cinema and well worth a watch. I believe all...

Fitting in

Posted on Sun, 09 Feb 2025

I agree with you Rhiannon and what you have said is exactly what Sofi (aka Priyatelkata) and I have done.

Blackboard Jungle

That's a great account of some wonderful memories Jenny.

You're braver than me. The school I went to in Leeds in the 1970s was wild. It was very similar to the school in Ken Loach's film Kes. My younger sister has kept in touch...

The word 'starboard' was originally 'steerboard' and originated in the times before rudders were invented. Instead they would always have one extra big oar for steering purposes which was nearly always fixed in place on the deck (or boards) on...

Haunted

Posted on Sun, 02 Feb 2025

yet still I'm
haunted by past voices that
consume, distant whispers
carried on the breeze.

Tempted

Posted on Wed, 05 Feb 2025

I've never read a Sherlock Holmes story but 'The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle' is an intriguing title that has long tempted me to try.

Perhaps your entertaining tale has got me off the mark.

Very good words

Very good words Paul.
