An interview with author Phil Taylor
Thank you to Elle of The Road To Elle for interviewing me for her blog.
Do you think humour differs significantly between countries or cultural groups?
There are definitely differences. The Americans are much funnier than the Brits. No, I’m just kidding. I love my blogging friends from the U.K. and I laugh at their posts all the time. I don’t know if the differences between cultures or countries are significant, but I think there are some. I like the differences though becaus...

TBT! The Guy Code of Conduct: Public Bathroom Etiquette
I went way way back in time for this one. This post is from October of 2006. I used to have an intermittent series of posts called The Guy Code of Conduct. This was one of the more popular ones.

(10/2/2006) As is well known, women have the “never go to a public restroom alone” rule. Women also have several other rules devoted to their bathroom habits, but to imply that I know them would say something bad about me. I’m not sure what, but I’m pretty sure it wo...

Crime Fighting Robots Prevent The Apocalypse
Daily Express
Some guy named David Meade predicted that the end of the world would begin today. Some other guy named Phil Taylor (Me) predicted in this blog post from January 1st that the world would not end this year. Looks like we’ve got a showdown. Go ahead, read the blog post. Also, note in that blog post I predicted Princess Kate would get pregnant again. Obviously my track record as a psychic is pretty good. David Meade’s, not so much. So who are you going to believe?

Time to Lie — Book Review
Thank you to James Clark for taking the time to read and review my novel Time To Lie!

I’m giving it a quality rating of 4 stars, but only because it’s more earth-bound than the 5-star rating I reserve for books floating around in the troposphere alongside the likes of “David Copperfield”, “Huck Finn”, “The Time Machine”, and “The...
