The burnt orange sun of the vale is the kind of thing he was expected to write. Is a vale a small valley, or does this thing even matter anymore? Anymore is not what it used to be, being that we all expect everything night and day to be a blood orange sun hellscape....

We are all right now
Advent internet Confirmation bias abounding Whatever opinion I’m right, astounding! Things have changed. We pass a lot of our blinking hours exploring the cavernous souks of the cyber, only venturing out into our samey homes, scruffling along the filthy wet streets...
The Greatest Story Never Told
The Greatest Story Never Told.
The spelling of people’s names have been changed to protect their identities.
I have heard a lot of great stories over the years, stories involving fights, infidelity, crime, lust; the usual stuff. But the greatest story never told has none of those things.
I read the news today, Oh Boy
I read the news today, oh boy. But I don't know who won the war. Not sure anyone's won the war in a while now. No longer seems the point. Win the peace they used to say, so quaint. Peace, what good is that? More news is coming to mean less news. And though the news...

Something I wrote about that dangerous guy in every bar.
THE LOVELY LONE GUNMAN THEORY
Ah yes the loan gun man theory, so relaxing, soothing and just generally all snuggly. Of course Kennedy’s brother was shot dead a couple of years later, as was Martin Luther King, luckily they were all shot by malcontents as well. More loan gun men. Not an outlier in sight. Just a sea of patsies.

France v Italy A Six Nations Preview
France v Italy How do you think France v Italy will pan out? I believe that the French will take Italy to pieces in the last ten minutes of this game. Look out for the Italian Scrum-half Edouardo Gori, he’s a real handful who reminds me of a young Augustin Pichot for...
Scotland V England: Some Thoughts
Underdogs? Eddie Please. When he has not been justifying the selection of a vicious, dangerous, out-of-form thug as captain, Eddie Jones has spent the past week grinning widely while speaking very slowly and not very candidly. They don’t call him Yoda for nothing....
Scotland V England Six Nations Preview
As ever this game will be decided up front.
Since the arrival of WP Nell, Scotland have had the scrummaging platform required to allow the Gray brothers to run rampant in the loose.
Views of the Midlands from a Train.
Some wildly inaccurate and generally smug musings about the Midlands from a train. In the Midlands much of the man-made features seem abandoned; half finished, or half started, depends on whether you feel like being charitable. It looks mostly flat. Hillocks, eddies,...
