Why were we friends then…
My oldest and dearest friend is a cultural rock for me and always has been, and oddly it turns out he didn’t ever (or even) realise until just the other day! Mr. Rockley created taste in so many of his peers in that short sharp shock period of our lives, the coming of age years,… Read More
What can you catch…
Do you yawn when you see someone else yawn? Do you even get a bit of a feeling of yawning now as you read about it? Ahhh yawn… How can the thought of a yawn be catching? It is one of those suggestive and odd phenomena that I didn’t know the truth of until researching… Read More

Don’t worry be happy…

Manchester…
What makes the world go around? What connects people more than anything else? I think its music! In the last short period of time going to hear live music is now a target for evil. Those people making this happen do not care for music, they do not care for people, they do not care,… Read More
