Sounds like Hell to me, Mark.
Posted on Tue, 16 Sep 2025
Sounds like Hell to me, Mark. What sort of person can thrive in this environment? People go on about processed food, what about processed people? I'm rather relieved to be on low pay with worn out joints because I can be as feral as I like in my...

Thank you Insert. I find the weekly IP a good inspiration. We are fascinated and frightened by the idea that aliens might invade and destroy Earth but are we just talking about ourselves?

Posted on Wed, 26 Sep 2018
I really enjoyed reading this, it brought to life a typical suprmarket shift complete with misery and the type of characters which seem to crop up in most workplaces. It recall my own stint in 'provisions', I got a verbal warning for failing to...

This is very sad, the story

Very topical Rhiannon and it's not only the older generations who are susceptible to such scams. The sophistication of these things is moving at such a rate of knots, nobody is immune, particularly if you have a gap in your life, leaving you more...

This makes me want to go out
Posted on Fri, 16 Feb 2024
This makes me want to go out to the woods and look more closely, tune in and feel. Shimmering dew drops and leaves bursting through. 'There is a freedom from mistakes', how true and what if we didn't have access to that? Just illustrates how...
