Imaginative Radio
I am a radio fan. Fine, I’m a book fan first but I’m also a radio fan. I love listening to the radio while doing other things where a book simply isn’t possible – such as washing the dishes or ruining a good meal. Radio has almost everything that you could possibly wish for, without [...]
Good, Bad, Eurovision
First up, so that we get this straight, I am not watching the Eurovision Song Contest. Nor am I anywhere near anyone who is as far as I know. It might be that the neighbors are zapping back and forth between something interesting and this song thing, but I suspect most people will be watching [...]
Real Live Nastiness
Apparently Twitter sells books. I know it must be true because someone posted it on Twitter. Leaving aside the snide references about proof of something being true because you read it in the book / publication / whatever being queried: the author John Niven has taken an interesting idea and put it into practice for [...]
Swiping A Book?
Here’s a Tweet with a very serious question, as some surveys claim that more people are reading flickering screens than actual paper books. I don’t think there can be a serious question about Dan Brown, though. For my part I shall be waiting for Inferno to come out as a film, the writing style is [...]
Strange Offer
As we all know the Internet is a means whereby everyone can post anything that they want anonymously; anonymous being mostly a faked character, name or whatever. If people want to do that, well, it’s fine by me; some don’t have the guts to stand up to their words and I respect their weakness, their [...]
Nastiness
Having just amused myself by watching celebrities read some of the Tweets that are aimed at them, and I mean the not so kind ones, I thought I’d quickly clear away what is still lying in my Twitter file. There’s nothing mean here, I guess, but I might just do a search a little later [...]
The Crash Test
Some people have the strangest ideas, even when they are sober. In Langelsheim, here in Germany, police discovered a badly damaged car in the middle of a field. The whole front of the car was crushed, the bumper gone, the airbags exploded but there was no driver in sight. The police found him soon enough [...]
May The….
Am I too young to know about such things? Is it before my time like MySpace and Geocities? Yes, I’ve heard of them, but I guess they were big back in the day… Apparently Stars Wars came out in 1977, well before my time. Even so, there are people my age celebrating and talking as [...]
Real People
You could write a book about the lives and opinions of some people, and each story contained wouldn’t be boring or repetitive at all. Some, I am sure, would simply make you shake your head and wonder at the shallowness, the lack of insight, the strangeness of the human race. In Germany a bailiff visited [...]
Appropriate Names
We’ve all come across them, people whose names seem to fit perfectly with their appearance, their job or whatever. Here, for your edification, is one I found recently.

Why Would Anyone… ?
We already know it, there are some pretty sick people using the Internet – and many more who are quite normal and more than acceptable – but sometimes I really have to ask myself, how do they live with themselves? And, more, what do they think of other people? The thought came to me – [...]
Awkward
I know such things are all automated these days and that barely a glance is thrown towards what appears on Internet sites by their lords and masters, but even so… Photo Source: YourJewishNews … some things do come across as awkward which are easily preventable. Love & Kisses, Viki. Related PostsDisappointment (Mar 24, 2013) I [...]
Perfect Poses
Ever wondered how long it takes to find the perfect pose in photography? How much time a photographer or an assistant needs to get someone in just the right position, in just the right light for that one photographic image which will make the whole portfolio stand out from the rest? No, I don’t know [...]
A Banana?
There are some things which really make you wonder what the world is coming to, some things which make you shake your head, sigh and wander on with a small smile on your face. And there are some things which make you wonder how on earth you can phrase a description, make a title, or [...]
Silliness
Silliness because, while I was researching the last post, on butts, I can across a few ‘optical similar’ photographs which made me pause for thought. Take this, for example, what do you imagine this photograph is similar to? Photo Source: vebidoo You’ll be surprised: Related PostsDefining Adultery (Mar 13, 2013) The Old Soul (Mar 12, [...]
