Keeper of the Flow of Utter Boredom

If I stumbled across the Fountain of Youth, would I drink the water? The short answer is no. The Fountain of Youth is just the stepping stone to immortality which no doubt would lead to the ultimate corruption of a person. This tempting beverage is a prime example of the whole 'be careful what you …

The Toss of the Coin

How do I make important decisions? Well if I am honest I do a little of gut instinct and sensible rational breakdown in order to find the right path. You could say I find an argument to back my instinct, which is a sane approach. If the results favour a different approach then that will …

Those Were The Days My Friend.

In response to The Daily Post's writing prompt: "Only Sixteen." What sort of person was I at sixteen? Well I was thinner and a bit shorter. I wore glasses then but there were a little lower down. Sixteen  was an interesting age for me as in many ways I was two people as this was …

Time Changes

If you could create a sequel to one favorite (standalone) movie, which would it be? How would it build on the original? Ah this old chestnut, in polite circles called Fanfiction and less polite cicles called Fanwank, has been a staple of the audience probably since the dawn of fiction. Many of my favourite films are based …

What Are Those Words Worth?

What word would I like permanently removed from the universal lexicon? In all honesty I don't think there is a word I would like removed from the language, quite the opposite in fact, the vocabulary bank should be stoked up much more. If there is one thing I would like removed about language, it is …

The F Word

If you could get all the nutrition you needed in a day with a pill — no worrying about what to eat, no food preparation — would you do it? The food pill is, if you pardon the pun, a staple diet of science fiction based in the future. It appears in various guises in Star …

Crashed

Helplessness? It is being at the mercy of a device which decides to crash after writing a huge amount of text and pressing the save draft icon. Really? In an attempt to preserve my text I lost it all. Originally this was a long post about the evils when independent pubs are bought up by …

Forked Lightening

It is 5:42 am on a Tuesday and I have been awake for about 70 minutes, that's the problem with having a much needed early night. Early to rise, though no doubt I will have a power nap at some point. So how has the week been? Its been a decidedly odd one of not …
