Posted on Mon, 14 Nov 2022
That was a great tribute to Hawkwind and to Nik Turner! Hawkwind was the first 'big' rock concert I ever went to in November 1979 at Sheffield City Hall. Very powerful, but my ears were ringing for a week afterwards! I vowed to put cotton wool in...

I agree! The egg thrower
Posted on Mon, 14 Nov 2022
I agree! The egg thrower should spend a shortish period in prison, and we should pray for the King and all our political leaders too!

I did enjoy this one as well Marandina. I did read it a week or more ago. You are doing very well at keeping up with Tory Party activities, and also managed to paint them in seasonal goulish shades of dark humour! Great satire, as always!

Oh yes, we knew so little
Posted on Wed, 19 Oct 2022
Oh yes, we knew so little before the internet freed us from ignorance! I detect a touch of sarcasm or tongue in cheek here! Great poem though! I imagine some of the younger people will believe it thoroughly!

Posted on Sun, 16 Oct 2022
Please note this piece was written a few weeks before the death of our Great Queen Elizabeth II, and some weeks before a new prime Minister thought she could rule effectively without convening a meeting of a round table of her own, which omission...

I did enjoy reading this tale
Posted on Sun, 09 Oct 2022
I did enjoy reading this tale Marandina. I enjoyed the fantasy element of the magic carpet ride to another place/dimension. As the Shadow King destroyed nature in our real world I felt there must be a bad ending on the way, but thankfully you...
