Flames in the sand: December 2014

http://paulktaylor.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Flames in the sand. Weblog of writer/cartoonist Paul Taylor. Thursday, 4 December 2014. Sad news indeed. Ian 'Mac' McLagan, who initially found fame with the sixties group the Small Faces, has been suddenly taken from us after suffering a massive stroke. McLagan's talent and contribution to rock music must never be underestimated. The small Faces swiftly became the top selling band of the mid-sixties due to a string of vibrant singles, including. Certainly it played a big part in setting the mood. Bu...

Flames in the sand: The Pub Quiz . . . Brains Trust or Battleground?

http://paulktaylor.blogspot.com/2012/04/pub-quiz-brains-trust-or-battleground.html

Flames in the sand. Weblog of writer/cartoonist Paul Taylor. Wednesday, 18 April 2012. The Pub Quiz . . . Brains Trust or Battleground? The game was on. Half a dozen teams of keen keen quiz freaks with eyes down were ready to go. Those who had a pencil chewed on it vigorously; others abused their fingernails instead. Yes, it was going to be serious stuff, and one thing I didn't need was a repetitive urge to go to the toilet. The onset of a terminal disease? Standing up to go to the gents, I immediately h...

SCATTERED IN THE WILD WIND: Demons of Destruction: The strange death of Fred Archer

http://scatteredinthewildwind.blogspot.com/2012/04/demons-of-destruction-strange-death-of.html

SCATTERED IN THE WILD WIND. Observations from a freelance writer. Friday, 13 April 2012. The strange death of Fred Archer. Rarely had the going been so favourable for the hooded rider who was carrying a scythe instead of a whip. Never had his pale horse bore him more soundly; never had his purpose been more steadfast. He came from the mouth of darkness, and his name was Death. On Thursday, November 4, 1886, Fred Archer felt unwell during a meeting at Lewes and decided to give up his remaining rides for t...

http://scatteredinthewildwind.blogspot.com/2010/12/lonely-are-brave.html

SCATTERED IN THE WILD WIND. Observations from a freelance writer. Tuesday, 28 December 2010. Lonely are the brave. As the year comes to an end it takes with it one of the most enigmatic individuals the world of sport has ever seen. Alex Higgins no longer has to do battle with his demons; he may now rest in peace. And so the world turns. A mighty hurricane may have passed over, but its effects will always remain. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Paul Taylor Art and Prints.

Flames in the sand: Statue of an enigma

http://paulktaylor.blogspot.com/2011/01/statue-of-enigma.html

Flames in the sand. Weblog of writer/cartoonist Paul Taylor. Friday, 4 May 2012. Statue of an enigma. This striking piece of work encapsulates so much of the drama and desperation associated with Richard III. It depicts the king on the verge of defeat, his clothes torn from his unprotected arms as he stands with his dagger gripped in one hand and his battle crown raised in the other. The face, a picture of searing anguish, searches to the heavens in this final moment of regal defiance. Art by Paul Taylor.

SCATTERED IN THE WILD WIND: October 2011

http://scatteredinthewildwind.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

SCATTERED IN THE WILD WIND. Observations from a freelance writer. Tuesday, 18 October 2011. A question in a pub quiz has just done me a rather big favour. The question: "What was the single-syllable pen name of writer H H Munro? Well, something somewhere had stuck, because I gave my team captain the answer straight off. 'Saki' he put down, and the point was in the bag. I'm glad the question came up, because I realised that if I knew the answer, I ought to know a bit more about the man. Of the Great War a...
