One Rule for Them

Remember how back in May last year I told you all that I thought that the Madeleine McCann kidnapping was neglect? Apparently the majority of you agreed with me. I’m sure there were others around the country who felt the same; others in positions of power who could do something about it. Yet, no, the… read full entry »

Help! Looking For a Book

When I was in school, approx. aged 14, I read a book. No, you sarcastic buggers, that wasn’t the last time I read a book, before you suggest it. :P It was a book about these people who’d developed a way of going back in time; some sort of giant tunnel that they could drive… read full entry »


Extending our Family

I haven’t posted because…

I was abducted by aliens. I went on a round the world tour on the back of a donkey. A giant spider wrapped me in a silken web, and refused to let me go. I ate too much chocolate, exploded, and have been in hospital having my organs sewn back together. A portal to another… read full entry »
