I Thought About The Army
Saved on

Fortunately, my dad was too young to have been drafted into the army during WWII. He was however called up for National Service in the years shortly after (late 40s / early 50s). I can't imagine what it must have been like to have been forced into the army for a stint as a young man, and though my dad's...

It probably goes without saying that I'm very much enjoying the new album from Flight Of The Conchords. I have it on in the car and it makes me smile while I'm driving. It takes a lot to make me smile while I'm driving...

I've been feeling a little blue these last few days, and as often happens, I can't quite put my finger on why. Possibly it has something to do with the house-hunting going tits up and my over-complicated reaction to that, but it's just as likely to be other factors - including my usual failure-induced...

Writing that Earworms post for Swiss Toni the other week got me thinking that I should write more often about the music I'm listening to... Wonder how many people just clicked 'Read Next Blog' or its equivalent? Sorry, folks. More chickens tomorrow. Or something. In the meantime, here's a random sampling......

My sister has taken in some new guests. Twenty former battery hens she's rescued from a fate worse than dog meat. Between 12 and 18 months of age, the egg production rate of the average battery hen slows, so it's no longer cost effective for chicken farmers to keep them laying. After that, kkKKk!(Imagine...
