Second Life (19) I have spent the last 5 weeks in solitary splendour, whilst my dear wife has frolicked around in Malaysia, Japan and Brazil, staying in luxury hotels, dining off the finest of local cuisine and waited on hand, foot and toes by lithe, semi-naked natives. (I know, I know – I’ll pay heavily for that sentence.) Over these weeks, I have had ample time to reflect on the joys of one’s own company and I’ve come to the following conclusions : 1. There ...

We are The Usual Suspects, a very exclusive luncheon club, which meets roughly 4 or 5 times a year at the ...
Second Life (16) Today’s burning question is easy. No, it isn’t who will win the upcoming election or whether our English cricket and rugby teams are really up to it. It’s much simpler than that : who the hell are all you people ? Yes, you, those who have viewed these somewhat erratic and rambling memoirs.
