Banking Practice

Posted on 01/07/2025 by Daniel

So I asked for some money to be transferred today to pay a rent charge due in this morning. I put the request through last night and asked them to pay it in 1st July. My mistake. I am so used to asked for payments to be made in banking hours and seeing them paid…

Holidays

Posted on 30/06/2025 by Daniel

Holidays are always necessary for the workers. They are not necessary for anyone else. I can see why living in a city getting to a warm beach must be a gratifying experience but the beach is there 24/7 and so are you so how come you aren’t always on holiday? Because the system doesn’t allow…

How We Are Brainwashed

Posted on 29/06/2025 by Daniel

I recall meeting a 14 year old American at school who could not believe no one knew who Paul Revere was (albeit now we know a woman rode further and faster than he) I told him that you cannot expect a country to teach its children about its defeats. I didn’t realise at the time…

Is This News?

Posted on 28/06/2025 by Daniel

Starmer, the lacklustre Prime Minister of the UK, faced a rebellious vote on his dyability reforms and so he came to a compromise with the rebels which they accepted. News outlets in the UK said this has undermined his authority. They could have said this is democracy in action. They could have asked why he…

A Brief History of Lies

Posted on 26/06/2025 by Daniel

The first book I ever published in the POD space was titled A Brief History of Lies, the habits and genetics of lying. It was actually an extended essay of 20,000 words which was based on the research of high intelligence being linked to skilled liars. It was published by Amazon first and now in…

So There We Have It

Posted on 26/06/2025 by Daniel

Blunkett said on air today that the Labour Party is all about getting people working so they can support themselves. He didn’t say they had to be fulfilled, express their innate talents he just said ‘in work’. The patrician speak for ‘pay tax’. It is a great shame government still does not understand the first…

How little They Know

Posted on 24/06/2025 by Daniel

Recycle

Posted on 23/06/2025 by Daniel

Days recycle themselves, hours multiple in the same fashion, animals including us birth and dust a vast timeframe of sameness for the time the earth exists. The Universe itself is continually rolling over itself likeĀ  an eruption breaking down to refashion itself in a hot temper and erupt again. It is no wonder peoples think…
