A Nation of Caners*
No copyright on titles. *Del Amitri on the Writer's Den Musical Time Machine this morning.

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.

for being such a good egg, in spite of the grim business you're dealing with. My mum, who nursed my Dad through a long drawn out dementia decline, is now difficult, inclined to see slights where none are intended. My sister bears the entire...

stuff. How marvellous that Spartak Moscow is quite a villainous chap, as back in the bad old days their football team was full of soldiers who were quite villainous themselves.
I do like the bold type for certain things that would have...

humour is the only antidote to extremism... Where are the satirists? They should be firing broadsides port and starboard, the answer to the rise of the right is most definitely not a jump to the left, despite what Frank'N'Furter says.
