I still think aliens abducted him. But we haven't got time for all that space malarky.

Posted on Sat, 28 Mar 2026
Well personally I'm very fond of films and books which don't tie it all up in a neat bow at the end. Leaving the readers to make their own deductions - they'd have to be better at it than Tubby Milton can manage.

Posted on Wed, 25 Feb 2026
Like Turlough, you have the gift of bringing the mundane to life and making it fascinating, Harry. And funny. And sad. And, in this case, just a bit spooky too. Good writers can make great stories out of apparently very little material, and...

Posted on Sat, 21 Feb 2026

Like Harry I really look forward to your Bulgarian blog too. Am a little worried about Ludo not getting a mention. I know he must be on about number twelve of his nine lives, so I hope he's ok.

Posted on Sun, 01 Feb 2026
All sorts of things slip down the cracks in time and/or space. But I never thought about silence itself doing that, until I read your poem.
Personally I like the staccato delivery, I felt it was a good example of form echoing content. ...

Hypocrisy
Posted on Sun, 18 Jan 2026
Well said, Turlough.
I've read a lot about these cases (although I hadn't heard of Ann) and sometimes the man responsible for the pregnancy was the father or brother. Which adds another layer of hypocrisy to the indignant shame heaped by...
