I watched the documentary by Al Gore, ‘An Inconvienient Truth.’ Some of his presentation / slideshow is highlighted in this video. The kids and their ticking time bomb is a powerful touch! Then I read about ‘The Great Global Warming Swindle’ documentary, some points which are highlighted in this video >> Now, I’m totally confused. […]
Warning: some graphic descriptions of torture and death…. Apologies for yet another ethereal subject but I have just been to Edinburgh and wanted to recommend the ‘Ghosts and Ghouls’ tour which takes place in the underground vaults. There are various other tours on offer ie: ‘City Of The Dead’ (which I will reserve for my […]

I have spent a considerable amount of time isolated in the past due to depression and find, without any connection with other human beings, you tend to lose perspective after […]
An eccentric chap called Peter Aziz claims to heal patients with the help of dragons, tree spirits and fairies. Whilst remaining open to alternative therapies, chakra healing, aura balancing etc, this was definitely 'way out there' with the use of mythical creatures. I watched in awe as he walked to a tree that was calling […]
Last night, I had another surreal dream. I was a guest at a party that was filled with scandal and eroticism, women wearing lingerie etc. Then, found myself sitting at a train station in confusion as if in ‘limbo’ mode between life and death. I attempted to board the train at platform 10, which read […]
Wow! What a fabulous programme! Very humbling indeed. Tonight’s episode featured 62-year-old self-made millionaire and lifelong supporter of the Conservative Party, John Elliott who went under cover in Kensington, Liverpool, one of the poorest areas in Britain, to live on the equivalent of state benefit. At the end of his 10 day visit, he decided […]
