I will begin working on a follow up today. It may take a while, I'm not the fastest of writers.

You make a very good point about shallowness

So twisted the world. States in the US offer no leeway when it comes to choosing not to give an unwanted embryo life and yet in the same country people want perfect designer babies and reject the rest while there are desparate parents who cherish...

Sorry to butt in Jack (I have been trying to keep up)

Posted on Sat, 23 Feb 2019

My Daughter was born in 1980 in the 'soft south' (Camberley Surrey) and I don't recall my wife having an ultrasound. When she went in labour all they had was sort of microphone thing they put on her tummy which amplified the baby's heart beat,...

Pity that the ghost of Franco still hovers over the peninsular. Bit of a worry really,

Never read Ginsberg, except excerpts from poems

Posted on Sun, 03 Feb 2019

I guess they didn't make an impression. However, I do think I should go back and visit him and Woolf and a few others if I'm going to have any chance of understanding SOC. It's been a long time since I read On the Road and now I can't find my...

Great stuff it's about time we had poems about this problem

Posted on Fri, 04 May 2018

I'm amazed at the lack of response to this important topic.

What seems to be forgotten is the fact that palm oil is not just hazardous for Orangs (the greatest gift we have from Asia) but it's danderous for us also.

Life is a self-perpetuating bio-chemical reaction

Posted on Sun, 01 Apr 2018
