Yes I would think that in the right circumstances, including politically and with fair rights and treatment, I would think they should be able to get on perfectly well together. The problems might well be the unfinished peace process and creeping...

Great poem, with impressions

Posted on Sat, 21 Oct 2023

Great poem, with impressions of Egypt, and the Arab and muslim world, and memories of Arab and Israeli conflict! It is a shame they have not been able to find peace or fairness.

Great poem for these disturbing and upsetting times! How would we cope? How do they cope? Is any of this our responsibility, or our fault?

Yes,you can't go back and lead a life you might have wanted once. Decisions are made and life's journey is experienced. This journey of reflection to his home town is well described, but it seems he has a good life. He can dream of past...

Posted on Wed, 04 Oct 2023

A great story, with a good few twists. I am starting to wonder which order to read it in, as Part 1 is the real conclusion, although it hasn't necessarilly finished. I still think Frank might survive, but how can he in the nuclear Armageddon? The...

Posted on Tue, 22 Aug 2023

I did enjoy your piece, which does remind me plenty of my school days too. I got my A Levels in 1982 so the period was just right for me. I remember the Falklands War and the crazy and incredible Thatcherite unemployment figures in the news, the...

You may be right about the AI

Posted on Sun, 27 Aug 2023

Your version of Hot Cross Bun

Your version of Hot Cross Bun Blues has certainly made me Feel a Whole Lot Better! You Made Me Smile (Again!). If I had a Hot Cross Bun left in our fridge/or larder I would have gone and eaten it straightaway without remorse! Unfortunately we do...

The ballet dancing job sounds

Posted on Wed, 23 Aug 2023

Posted on Tue, 08 Aug 2023

Thanks for your comment Di Hard. Your partner seems to have had a particularly difficult job as he was being obliged to sell. At least my (Alfred's!) job was aiming to help or answer callers' questions etc, even if doing a satisfactory job might...
