Blogpost 70: Peak Oil
Peak Oil Have you not heard? The pen is mightier than the sword, they say, mightier, sharper, dissevering deep between a mortal’s spirit and his soul. How swiftly the embodied shed their glorious clouds, those wispy trails of echoed godliness, only to see them blown away upon the troposphere where Decima […]
Blogpost 69: The Well Meaning
The Well Meaning We had other things we shared: a conspiratorial eye; the fantasised axioms of unassailable certainty. The world’s an easy place to change when fettered only by caution, embalmed in an all too comfortable sufficiency. So we took no prisoners; slaughtered the guileless shibboleths of the acquiescent, stamped our boot […]

Blogpost 63: I shall tear down my barns
I was walking down the high street in The Town this morning and passed the estate agent through which I bought my apartment. There it was in the window, with a big proud ‘SOLD’ stamped across it diagonally in red. I bought it 7 months ago so though I’m not complaining, I […]

BLOGPOST 62: OH MY GOD!
He stands, black leather bible in hand, between two yellow flags that flap out selectively un-contextualised words of scripture like a pair of oversized budgerigars on steroids.
