My life

The looming of the coming day. I am so glad I no longer have to work at Morrisons the supermarket at Christmas time. The utter dread of the shop being closed for just 24 hours sends people into a panic. How can they survive a day without a bottle of milk? Sadly for most people shopping is their only entertainment. They don't go out. they don't drink in bars or dine in restaurants or visit the theatre. For them, the world has to be served up on a plate and the supermarket offers this with little...

I can't help but be alarmed by the news that Phillip Green's Arcadia group have folded talking Debenhams with them. Sure, they had it coming, and if you live outside the UK you will have no idea what I'm talking about. But next year will be one of the worst recessions in living memory unless you are in the stock market. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 are at records highs. Making up all the losses from March. For me, this is the best month of the best year I have ever had. Although I'm in no position to... Sign in to see full entry.

Imagine your Blogit account being activated in 100 years time, and writing the same way you write now. Well, that's what artificial consciousness would do. Not just artificial intelligence, but something which is actually conscious and thinking in the same way you would, and with your memories. Would you consider this to be actually you? The YOU which is reading this now is not the same YOU ten years ago or the YOU tomorrow morning. When you go to sleep at night you have no anxieties about... Sign in to see full entry.

Just dropped in to let people know things are going well. The money is slowly coming in, and although we have been served some real curveballs, we are pulling through. I hope other people are doing well too. Hopefully, we will have a vaccine rolled out by the spring in the UK. Although the commercial world has been dealt a death blow here. Many places will never recover. The knock-on effect on the 3rd world will be horrible. We live in a symbiotic world now. No matter how bad things get, the S&P... Sign in to see full entry.

If this guy is happy with his purchase, we just sold this on eBay. Sign in to see full entry.

We have been given a very old Stamp collection, and I'm hoping to find out the value of them. Looking briefly at eBay, I,m confident they are a hope for the future. It might take me years to get the real value, but I look at it as a pension investment. Sign in to see full entry.

Have you ever noticed that one thing goes wrong with your bank, and your world falls apart? I transferred some money over from Paypal to Lloyds (UK) and all went well. Then the bank decided that this was a direct debit and transferred the money back! I panicked and let the worry overwhelm me, but got it all sorted in the end. One little thing and your world falls apart. Sign in to see full entry.

I am more than pleased that people are actually reading the things I write. I wanted to re-open this account as a way of getting me back into writing articles. But I still lack the confidence to think I can compete in the big world. Just being able to write about the first thing that comes into your head, is a little different. When blogging first started many writers became very popular. Most just turned to Youtube, because it's easy. The trouble is that you end up having to feed the beast. If...

Have you ever noticed just how influential the 1920s were on modern history? Every book or film I have ever watched has been influenced by that time. If not, then people refer to the fact that it was before the 1920s. Sure, none of this would matter if not for the first world war. But all the big influences came after the war and little happened during it. Aircraft production was advanced in WW1 but they wanted the good old thumpers like the SE5 and Sopwith pup. The Gloster Bulldog and Gladiator... Sign in to see full entry.

This is a picture of our valley with the village of Tinwell in the bottom. The flood came up to the tops of these hills. 1641 was at the start of the English Civil War. Sign in to see full entry.
