Posted on Sun, 10 Nov 2024
Sheffield is in some ways a very beautiful city, a bit like Rome - built on seven hills, but unfortunately it lets itself down, and as evidenced above, it has been getting very out of hand recently. It is certainly becoming a metaphor for modern...

I am glad you have marked this sad day for Afghanistan and for civilisation, and for so called religion! It certainly deserves a mention, a lot more than just a mention. How terrible this is! What a step backwards, a long way backwards! I didn't...

Thanks Di. As I said above in reply to Insert they dropped me for no good reason. I think it has happened to a few of us. I have 20 years of service with the previous company, although work did rather dry up a couple of years ago for a while. I...

Posted on Sun, 27 Oct 2024
I think your story is very well put together. You make the robots (androids?) seem so real. You create the feeling that sooner or later the robots really will be this much like us. They seem so realistic. And you could imagine having close...

Posted on Thu, 17 Oct 2024
Interesting to compare with Elvis' death, which I remember quite clearly. Like you, One Direction have largely passed me by and I now know Liam's name! I suppose that is just a matter of my age, although I have heard one or two of their songs,...
