No copyright on titles. *Del Amitri on the Writer's Den Musical Time Machine this morning. So I've nicked a title of a song from their latest album (I know, I thought they'd given up too, until I went to see them live in September). And we are... So, not about very much. You're welcome to pass by... Some of the pubs have had their names changed... And I like them all, really Image is from whatpub.com

Heroes
Even when I was in, I thought the Greenham protestors had a right to their protest. I remember it as being mostly peaceful. It went on a long time and they did win in the end. The length of the protest was probably why. Patience is a great weapon. Tempus omnium edax rerum. I shudder to think how it would have been in the age of social media. Anyway, this isn't about Greenham. It's (all) about me. Image author's own.

there was very little live sport at all on UK television. Now, there is so much. Perhaps too much, as you say. No matter what sports we follow I think we are over-faced with so much available. It's hard to believe just 50 years ago most sport was...

I like how you only let out information a little at a time.
You have a couple of typos in this line ;
"The man and cat walked up to a low slung sport car. The man open the car door to let the cat"
