You have shown a good example
Posted on Tue, 16 Jul 2024
You have shown a good example of one way the modern world is getting more complicated. As you say it does overcomplicate the once simple act of dropping someone off at a concert or in town/city. We have a clean air zone in Sheffield now, but I...

I like the normal life angle
Posted on Wed, 17 Jul 2024
I like the normal life angle from which you have approached the subject of the unfortunate people, including soldiers, taken hostage. Still kept as bargaining chips months later by resistance fighters. It is good to remind ourselves of the...

Great satire, as always!

Great satire, as always! Boris just does not go away, does he? And indeed he came back for the final scene of the Campaign! However I don't think Rishi was actually listening to him any more, but maybe the National Service idea was his? Blame him...

Your concern for the future
Posted on Sat, 22 Jun 2024
Your concern for the future of our children, our society, and our climate and its effects, shines out intelligently from your article. I enjoyed folowing your thoughts on these matters and I do agree. As with some other very relevant pieces, I...

A thought provoking end, as always. With the appearance of Lucifer, the devil, I wasn't really expecting the modern (20th century) figure of Oppenheimer, but his case would certainly be a rather unique and difficult one, as it seems he consulted...

The suspense is certainly
Posted on Wed, 22 May 2024
The suspense is certainly building up. I will read part two soon. So far it suggests the choices we may have, after death, or before. Perhaps they are to be judged, or are meant to choose wisely? I am enjoying this.

Bulgarian elections do sound
Posted on Sun, 09 Jun 2024
Bulgarian elections do sound quite lively and varied! Why do so many places, including the UK, seem to be having so many elections at the moment? Thanks for your entertaining snapshots of life in Bulgaria. I am learning a lot more about that...

I did wonder what clash of cultures might pull the couple apart, but with patience, understanding and sensitivity the husband managed to heal the rift and unhappiness. This did seem to be a very subtle piece showing some appreciation of what...
