For Real?: July 2014
http://unsatirical.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 12, 2014. My current To-Do list is the same as my previous To Do list, which isn't great, but I am at least making some progress. A quick run down:. Porting things over to Wordpress. Fiction as a controlled substance. But also, an idea occurred to me. I'm spending a little time each week talking about, reading and voting on stuff that happens at The Writers Arena. So go, read, vote. I've contributed once, and hope to do so again. And we'll see how I do. Posted by David Webb. Is the best th...

Writing Prompt 3: Fred Phelps has died. The Afterlife turns out to be a little different to what he imagined. Thursday, March 20, 2014. What follows is me being satirical:. Slowly, he closed his eyes. He counted to ten. He opened them again. Nope No harps, no halos, no hosannas. Quite a lot of pumping techno. Fred stared. His jaw began to wobble. Saint Peter slid his arm around the poor man's shoulders. I know," he said "but you'll get used to it. After all, this is your eternal reward.". The Brothers Pl...

For Real?: June 2014
http://unsatirical.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Books New Bloggery. Things. Stuff. Monday, June 23, 2014. Namely, "Apache" by Ed Macy, "The Moon's a Balloon" by David Niven and "The Reluctant Jester" by Micheal Bentine. Well, it was a quiet weekend. For me, it reinforced the notion that we're sending some excellent people overseas and we're not getting them all back. The Moon's a Balloon. I decided to move the writing to WordPress because I can turn that into a storehouse for fiction and go pro with stuff and.err. Posted by David Webb. I rarely write ...

For Real?: December 2014
http://unsatirical.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 27, 2014. OK Christmas is done for another year. Here's how I spent mine. All of this was with the In-Laws, who have been gradually teaching me all of the important things about Christmas. I've also read some books. Pocket reviews ahoy! The Martian by Andy Weir. Quick guide: man stranded on Mars attempts to survive. My verdict: Awesome book. I couldn't stop reading it. Funny, intelligent, engaging, fascinating. You should read it because: You'll learn a lot. Sniper One by Dan Mills.

Writing Prompt: A mundane action has prompted a visit from the Time Travel Police. Monday, May 26, 2014. I caught the egg. It dropped out of thin air and into my hand like I was waiting for it to arrive. Catching apported eggs is not something I normally do when I'm grocery shopping, so three things happened in quick succession:. I was momentarily impressed by my own reflexes. I was then immediately curious about the airborne egg, and looked up. You've been nicked, son. I have nicked you. Nicking...Yes, ...

For Real?: October 2014

A Sword into Darkness by Thomas A. Mays. Saturday, October 25, 2014. It's been a while since I read any military SF, but Thomas Mays took part in The Writer's Arena. Was thoroughly interesting. I wanted to read more, he seemed very proud of his book and it was available on Amazon. For the Kindle. I bought it assuming I'd be taking a trip through some well worn tropes and treading a familiar path. I wasn't entirely correct. Are there down sides to the book? Yeah, kinda. It doesn't get in the way of th...

A Spat on Twitter. Sunday, June 14, 2015. First of all, a little disclosure. In the past, I have made a little money telling fortunes. I learned to read cards, and learned some cold reading techniques, because I was interested in psychic phenomena and because I'm interested in confidence tricks. Ignorant. Have you read anything? See my website I sum up the different points of view on these issues. Gotta read. I had a bit of a giggle. Here's the thing. Website can, and has, written. The act of writing...

For Real?: New Phone
http://unsatirical.blogspot.com/2014/10/new-phone.html
Friday, October 3, 2014. I'm a fan of Android phones. I've used an HTC and a Samsung Galaxy S3, and enjoyed both of them. At upgrade time this year, I thought my choice was probably between the HTC M8 or the Samsung S5. I was surprised to find that I went for a Windows phone. The Nokia Lumia 930, in fact. And it's simple to navigate. So far, so good. My biggest concern is the number of Apps that I thought I couldn't live without and which don't have an equivalent in the Windows store. As it turns out...

For Real?: August 2013
http://unsatirical.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Work is Hell.so, something funny. Thursday, August 22, 2013. I'm pretty sure lots of people have posted about their jobs before, and lots of others have had bad days/weeks/months where their job has been under threat or lost or awful. It's currently my turn through that mill. But as a great man once said, "when you're going through hell, keep going. That said, these are all genuine. Fluke Robin electrical installation. Milton Keynes centre: does it exist? Good Gawd, y'awl, what are they good for? Other c...
