This morning I was walking my dog, obeying the law and the socially obvious right thing to do. I picked up and bagged my dog's doings. Just ahead of me, in the alley was a man doing the same. As he...
I've bought a mp3 player which I'm pleased with, except for one thing. I have two CDs with almost the same title, apart from Volume 1 & Volume 2. The musician is the same man. When I put both CDs on...
I have just finished a book entitled 'In You Defence' by Sarah Langford, a Barrister. It was a really interesting read, but there's one thing that has me very confused: 'section 1 of the Police and...
I have always been baffled about certain details in history books- i.e. how they could have come to be written down. There are many examples, but here is one: When Henry VIII was about to be married...

Not for the first time, I've taken my dog to the Vet because he isn't eating. I come away with medicine that needs to be put into his food. When I ask for help in finding my way out of this logical...

During the pandemic, we keep hearing of a 'Road Map' to return to normal life. We used to say 'strategy' or 'plan'. Why the change? What's wrong with the old words? Schools used to have a 'Curriculum'...

Hello, I bought some replacement cartridges to fix a leaky tap (Bristan). I have no clue as to how to get the top of the tap off so that I can replace the cartridge. I asked the men in the shop and...
A couple of years ago, I had a shower curtain across my bath. The shower curtain was held in place by suction - which is another way of saying that it kept falling on my head, but I just put up with...
I'm an 'older person' and struggle with the relatively new informality that seems to come so easy to most people. I go into a supermarket and the cashier says to me: "Hello. How are you? Doing...
I have one dog and I am amazed at how much money I have spent to keep him. Every time I walk into the Vet surgery, a large chunk of money is lost even after a 15 minute consultation. Add the tablets...
When I used to watch television years ago, the camera was always on an interviewee's face and the latter looked at the camera. These days, the interviewee or presenter now seems to look off camera...
