Buggered if I know…

Use to be a time when the letters ‘QE’ were reserved for the grand lady, Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the II. Latterly they have been adopted as an acronym by economic commentators as short hand for the monetary policy action called Quantitative Easing. Now – monetary policy, fiscal policy, and the like, are only terms [...]

“We hear you Tranquillity Base, let’s solve it by borrowing more money…” Is this the madness we are currently seeing? I must disclose that I saw/heard some commentator make the very tongue in cheek observation that went something like: “isn’t this clever – the original problem was caused by debt – so lets borrow more [...]

Reader of these posts may have noticed that in the past I was musing about the point of lockable toilet roll dispensers (LTRDs). A kind of follow-up to those broodings was vouchsafed to me the other day when I visited the loo at the end of the corridor at work. There was the LTRD on [...]

It’s weird how one thought leads to another isn’t it? Computers really are second rate processing tools compared to the human mind, don’t you think? The other day I heard a track ‘Dang Me’ by Roger Miller on Radio 2 on the way home…  Subsequently I did a little sourcing and was listening to a [...]

I think this post will have a point, or maybe even two… eventually… Unrelated thinking says I’ve seen a few hedgehogs tonight – neat – they are the cutest of critters. One was right on the white line as I was coming down the street to the house, driving in the dark, tonight. It was [...]

Just mind wandering here… a small infestation of flying ants has surfaced from beneath the house it seems… They are coming up outside beside the bins and in here beside the fireplace… they are really beautiful if you look closely… so delicate, honed to purpose, and gentle… The one who has been entertaining itself on [...]

The clock of life is wound but once And no man has the power To tell just where the hands will stop At late or early hour To lose one’s wealth is sad indeed To lose one’s health is more To lose one’s soul is such a loss As no man can restore The present [...]

I did a ‘throw it out there’ email to a small group of friends the other day… It’s OK… they all think I’m a complete looney already – in the nicest way (I now park that unnecessary ego trip in the rented garage down the road…) The short version was – take the vox-pop of [...]
