http://neutronnews.blogspot.com/2012/02/bleak-blea-k-bleakity-bleak.html
Saturday, February 04, 2012. Bleak, bleak, bleakity bleak. If ever there was a morning which defined bleak. Is a good word though; only 5 letters but so evocative.it's a good-value word - there's a whole load packed into that one little syllable. If you're British and a product of my generation, or one before or after, you probably made the acquaintance of bleak. Youve got it there I opened the shutters the other day and Earth stood hard as iron came into my head straight away. My Greek trip blog. Bleak,...

Neutron News: October 2014
http://neutronnews.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 04, 2014. How About Thinking for Ourselves? This latest atrocity, the beheading of Alan Henning by the Islamic State, is another example of concentrated barbarism carried out under a religious banner. The fact that world leaders have condemned it is good. The fact that religious leaders have condemned it is also good. However, the way some of these religious leaders have condemned the killing is, in my opinion, not so good. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Greek trip blog. Check out my CD.

Neutron News: December 2011
http://neutronnews.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 31, 2011. About Christopher Hitchins having been diagnosed with oesophagal cancer, well, he has now sadly succumbed to this evil disease. It's hard to believe that the great voice is now still, that the mind so erudite and acerbic, profound and witty is gone, the brain, so crammed full with learning, literature, history and experience is now just so much meat. The above is a short compilation ( credit: SETH - YOUTUBE - THETHINKINGATHEIST. Sunday, December 04, 2011. My Greek trip blog.

Neutron News: See you, Helmut...
http://neutronnews.blogspot.com/2011/11/see-you-helmut.html
Monday, November 28, 2011. See you, Helmut. I'm trying and failing to reconcile two concepts or entities: Helmut and death - the two just don't go together in my head. And yet, in harsh, uncaring reality, sadly, unbelievably, they must. Well, now Helmut is gone, he is dead, in the blink of an eye the finality has enfolded him; Helmut and death are one. We are using the past tense for him, we are speaking about a funeral for Helmut - a what? And I don't know what to say, I don't know how to grasp it.

Coyote Wild: A literary meme
http://coyotewild.blogspot.com/2005/10/literary-meme.html
An experimental discussion about reading, writing, sex, death, and headcolds. Perhaps some freewriting, internet memes, and the occasional game, too. Swiped shamelessly from The Crankiest Quaker Alive. 1 Take first five novels from your bookshelf. 2 Book 1 - first sentence. 3 Book 2 - last sentence on page 50. 4 Book 3 - second sentence on page 100. 5 Book 4 - next to the last sentence on page 150. 6 Book 5 - final sentence of the book. 7 Make the five sentences into a paragraph. 9 Name your sources.

Neutron News: A Winter Solstice Thought...
http://neutronnews.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-winter-solstice-thought.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. A Winter Solstice Thought. I was just thinking about the memorable JFK quote " My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" and I thought, "hmm, y'know, that could be extended.". Something, perhaps, to ponder over our puddings. Merry Xmas to all of you who still read my sadly neglected blog! Happy New year to you too. Excellent words. If only. Glad you got your blog back from the gremlins. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Neutron News: September 2011
http://neutronnews.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 12, 2011. Οἶον τὸ γλυκύμαλον ἐρεύθεται ἄκρῳ ἐπ' ὔσδῳ. Ἄκρον ἐπ' ἀκροτάτῳ· λελάθοντο δὲ μαλοδρόπηες,. Οὐ μὰν ἐκλελάθοντ', ἀλλ' οὐκ ἐδύναντ' ἐπίκεσθαι. That's a fragment of old Sappho. You want a translation? Ok, first here's GoogleTranslate's version:. As the sweet apple blushes on the end of the bough,. The very end of the bough which gatherers missed,. Nay, missed not, but could not reach. Or, with rather more poetry:. At the end of the bough- its uttermost end,. So with all best things.

Neutron News: Evil in the Cutlery Drawer
http://neutronnews.blogspot.com/2012/03/evil-in-cutlery-drawer.html
Thursday, March 29, 2012. Evil in the Cutlery Drawer. Singers are hypochondriacs (ah, here I must insert my standard "joke", sorry:. I don't know what hypochondria is, but I'm sure I've got it. If you don't believe me, ask a singer! In fact, you can ask me. YOU: Neutron, is it true what is written above? So, having established, by elementary Socratic logic, that, if all singers are hypochondriacs about their voices and I am a singer, then I am a hypochondriac about my. We had some early encounters, some ...

Sunday, October 30, 2011. The Sevvie; Oh howe are the myghtie ouerthrowen. The Sefton Arms Hotel was once a proud drinking establishment, built on the very entrance to Aintree Race Course and less than 50 yards from the train station which was named after it, "Aintree Sefton Arms". The hotel would reach its apotheosis each year during the Grand National racing meeting. We've all had a drink in the Queen's Arms! Then they knocked it down. I had lots of great nights out in the Sevvie with my best mates Dav...

Neutron News: And in Other News...
http://neutronnews.blogspot.com/2012/06/and-in-other-news.html
Thursday, June 21, 2012. And in Other News. I have a brain! And here it is (well, slices of it). That is just SO WEIRD! I always suspected there was more in there than meets the eye. It looks pretty. Hope everything is as it should be. Looks like a group of monsters out of Dr Who! Hiya chook - I thought I might take a look at who else is still blogging. There is usually a reason for having ones brain scanned and I hope you are ok. It is now November 2012! Ive been wondering about you too. Check out my CD.
