No Comments »One of the things which inspired singer Bob Marley to greatness was the opposition he faced in his life. The things and people who acted as obstacles in the way of his progress provided the inspiration for many of his lyrics.
I drew great pleasure from this in my own life and have used it to [...]

No Comments »Finally, the Genie/Fairy God Mother/(add your own favourite dream deliverer here) has granted Gordon Brown his most precious wish: he is now Britain’s 53rd Prime Minister. That was yesterday when he succeeded Tony Blair whose popularity had plunged so much he was a liability to the Labour party.
Also, Blair had already outlived his welcome exacerbated [...]

No Comments »I have often thought the best place to hide is where people least expect to find you. Thus the best place to hide the truth is to embed it within a lie or where it would be incongruous to find truth. This would certainly do the trick, if only for a while, depending on the [...]

No Comments »I feel it for the guy who has just been jailed for refusing to pay his ex-wife child support. His reason for not paying is that his three children spend half their lives with him!

No Comments »I did not make a big deal out of it when on holiday in Jamaica a female friend offered to exchange my pounds sterling for a better Jamaican dollar exchange rate then claimed the rate difference for herself. “It’s my account,” she said. “And I’m just doing you a favour…” Or something to that effect.

No Comments »When I was a youth it used to irritate me when I got caught stealing food from our own fridge or larder! Coming to think of it I’m trying to remember why it was a such big deal for me to take it in the first place!

No Comments »I’ve never been one to join private members clubs or so-called elite societies. But suddenly, I find myself being invited to these kinds of organisations with increasing regularity. The surprising thing is that I don’t seem to have a problem with this today whereas in my youth it may have been a no-no.

No Comments »I never seem to click with women who do not take life seriously. The ones who live by the credo: “We’ve only got one life to live so why take it so seriously. Lighten up, man!”
