I shaved my head again today. I shave it every couple of months to disguise the fact that I’m going bald.

Electricity Bored
Posted on Mon, 31 Aug 2026
Many many years ago I worked in the pensions department at the Central Electricity Generating Board in Harrogate, and then the privatised abomination that was National Power in Swindon. I always despised Thatcher but the countless hours of...

Humour with rythym and rhyme! Excellent stuff! Thank you Makis for putting a smile on my face.
I hope you've submitted your creation for publication in the Basingstoke Gazette. It might earn you enough money to stay ahead of your kids a...

Good luck!

I wish you the very best of luck with your novel Harry. The end process you have described has always put me off trying to get anything of mine published. I love writing but I really can’t be bothered with bureaucracy (if that’s the right word),...

The beastly Boro
Posted on Fri, 28 Aug 2026
It's great to learn new words, and new songs, especially when they're a bit cheeky.
The one thing that Middlesbrough has in common with Chippenham is that my family were only passing through. They're not originally from there (apart from...

Pure travel
Posted on Tue, 25 Aug 2026
No credit cards, no mobile phones, no Airbnb, no hordes of noisy tourists. That is exactly how overseas travel should be.
I’ve loved all four parts of this account of your great adventure and I really hope you have more travel tales to...

Thank you for the deities

In the late seventies I spent a few days in Bombay (Mumbai) by accident. Your writing has inspired me to hoik my experience up to somewhere near the top of my list of things to write about. I spent longer periods of time in Madras (Chennai) and...
