The following is a short story-come-book review inspired by 'The Third Policeman' by Flann O'Brien. If you haven't read the book then don't read my account of it first, that would be daft. ******* This could well be a re-telling of an older story. One which you will likely know or at least recognise, … Continue reading Boxes, Rectangles and Bicycles

Mr Hummels introduces: The Tower of Babel by Benny Profane
As promised, I am slowly, reticently introducing you, the vast readership, to my talented friends. Doing so, I feel somewhere between Kim Jong Il and Ernest Hemingway. Make of that what you will. However, the following man needs no introduction; he's already taken the internet and some newspapers by storm. You may know him for … Continue reading Mr Hummels introduces: The Tower of Babel by Benny Profane
Mr Hummels – Spring Statement
Here is a quick round-up of some recent things I've encountered. Snowboarding Holiday to Morzine, France - 7/10 This was an exceptionally decadent and predictable holiday.

World Cup 2018 – Third Place Play-off
A great weight was lifted on Wednesday evening. The personal consequences of the game were large - I no longer have to fear being in England while they win the Coca Cola. The national implications could be greater - will the mediocre placing of 4th temper the rise of nationalism? Could losing to a minnow … Continue reading World Cup 2018 – Third Place Play-off
World Cup 2018 – Day 14 – 18
Jesus H. Christ. This world cup will be remembered as one of the many world cups. And by football fans, one of the better world cups.

Review -Mastersystem – Dance Music, Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, Adam Buxton Bowiewallow and added bonus – tangential reflections on life, death, etc.

Life has been derailed by the World Cup, as evidenced by the above and below posts. As the World Cup has infested all my waking hours (not spent job hunting).
