And now we demonstrated it to the cops. And all the things we said. Cause it's a long road to wisdom. But it's a short one. A frame...

Links to this post. Wednesday, February 13, 2013. Not enough “F” in “OFF”. The wide and well-appointed sidewalk (so...

Probably not a pretty recollection: Go back bit to the late sixties. I recall some pleasant, if not rather hazy, years of employment at Coates Bros. This sudden reversion to Memory Lane was prompted when we had some takeaway fish and rice from Fishaways. Unlike the old-fashioned oil-soaked fish and even oilier potato chips (thick fries?

At school we always have favourite nicknames for close friends, some not worthy of repeating, as there may be children listening. Be that as it may, Cape town is being visited today by Bo (not Mr Bo Jangles, who was our ex-cat, by Mr B Obama – you may have heard of him). And today’s events, as they unfold and make news, will become tomorrow’s history. So, allow ...A C-54 Skymas...
