It was April 1st 2025. In this age of fake news he should take care, in case he be conned, but what did that really matter, in the big scheme of...

I like the way you have told this. A good take on a biblical story!

My colleague Alfred Muggins

Posted on Tue, 24 Dec 2024

My colleague Alfred Muggins is pleased to have found another writer who also believes in Santa Claus! He knows that I am a bit of a sceptic myself, but he is proposing to do an ongoing investigation (when he finds the time!) to determine, once...

A great poem! I did enjoy

Posted on Sun, 15 Dec 2024

A great poem! I did enjoy reading it, although it seemed to repeat many of its thoughts, but with no loss of creativity, and it kept me reading to the end. A sad poem about today's world, and our inability to turn it from its destruction and...

Posted on Fri, 06 Dec 2024

A poignant piece about Christmas! It can be a bleak time. Life is so easily made tragic. Thankfully we can't see all of our futures so we can enjoy and give at Christmas time!

Posted on Sun, 08 Dec 2024

It sounds as if Spencer is talking and intervening just a bit too much, and is becoming a bit irritating. Very cleverly constructed and Spencer makes a very realistic android. Meeting the family with him around becomes a bit of an embarassment...

Posted on Mon, 11 Nov 2024

A great piece. What an appropriate way to show the hypocrisy of so many western media, and news organisations, and government and political statements. Very well written. Many people should read this to counter the whitewashing and propaganda!

Terrible and incredible crime

Posted on Wed, 13 Nov 2024

Terrible and incredible crime! You describe it all very clearly, and very reasonably in my opinion. How does a man commit such a crime over a long period of time? He should certainly be punished severely in some way, and never trusted to look...

A good combination of horror

Posted on Wed, 30 Oct 2024

A good combination of horror and science fiction here. You make it seem quite believable as you do in many of your literary explorations. Your character here obviously doesn't really believe Fritz can live forever in the machine, otherwise he...

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...

Posted on Sat, 09 Nov 2024

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...
