Well chosen words in your
Posted on Tue, 10 Sep 2024
Well chosen words in your poem, which explain exactly how so many politicians, and the media allow this awful carnage to persist, without actually doing anything very useful to cause it to end, or at least to moderate it. It is as if we have all...

I was starting to like Obogo
Posted on Wed, 25 Sep 2024
I was starting to like Obogo until he decided Earth should be vaporised! He should certainly be giving Earth a bit more of a chance, but I suppose we can't entirely blame him as earth humans do seem to have lost their way a lot recently. Not a...

A heartwarming story! Your kindness and care towards the cats is impressive and worthy. Kindness towards animals is, in my opinion, a sign of innate goodness, to be respected!

Posted on Tue, 20 Apr 2021
There is a nice feeling to this poem. It almost makes me wish I had been a bit older in 1970 and could remember it better! But youth can be at any time. All of us experience these moments when we are free, or optimistic, carefree.

Posted on Thu, 05 Sep 2024
I hadn't really thought much about this kind of memory inducing AI until I have read your piece, but it is a very challenging idea. Will we enhance our memories of the person by doing this? or find it a way of keeping touch with familiar loved...

Thanks Di. I am glad you are enjoying some of Alfred's ideas. Henry would certainly have to bribe a lot of MPs to stand any chance of subverting our Democracy! But he was certainly able to wield a lot of power and influence in his original reign...
