About Me

October 26, 2003 a mysterious person disembarked on Gatwick airport. Whereabouts uncertain. The kind of person that attracts odd rumours every time he appears somewhere. The classic stranger with unkown purposes that walks alone into the saloon. Some say he is an alien on the frustrating mission of finding remnants of intelligent life on planet Earth. Some say he is a warlord from a remote region of Europe, banished by his former loyal supporters for acts of unspeakable cruelty. Some say he is a supernatural creature that goes back and forth between regions inaccessible to Mankind. But, people are bored easily and nothing numbs their boredom more than speculation, gossip and creating rumours (some more malicious than others)The truth is that he is a question mark and only those who step into this world and ask questions will know the answer to that question mark... Q: What does your conscience tell you? You should become what you are!

Lenin’s last photo

  Recently I had the pleasure to read Orlando Figgi's excelent book The Russian Revolution: A People's tragedy, a balanced, well researched overview of The Russian Revolution; a book that sheds l...

Deutschland, deutschland uber alles

 If there was a time and place that I wouldn't mind to have lived it was in Germany during the late 60's and early 70's. This was one of the most exciting periods in the history of modern music, ...

Whatever...

 I was going to launch into one of my usual ranting diatribes, but I'm actually feeling too lazy to do that, so I will just post here the setlist of my radio show last Wednesday. Working can drai...

Humming, Mary Poppins and my radio show

  This is a public announcement. Sometimes I do get some kind of sense of civic duty... Hm, why do I begin to hear chuckles and sneers of disbelief? Never mind that, I am campaigning for a hummin...

The sacred is stupid!

 Today I reached a conclusion, an inner conclusion. Most likely it was just a verbalization of a personal view which I held for long but only now that it cristalized in the form of words. It's a ...

Alien abduction

 Let's talk about alien abduction. It's something very popular in the United States. Apparently it can be used as a sort of explenation of why people vote for George W. Bush or any of the Republi...

What if Wagner played the kazoo?

 I'm in a jolly good mood. Yes, I've been to work and that place is becoming even more loathsome and detestable to me. But, I've noticed today that my profile had 666 views. Oh, happyness, oh, jo...

The granma of Chucky

 It was with a heavy sense of bemusement that we watched some weeks ago, a dismal figure from the past to briefly come back to public life, I mean the insidious Margaret Thatcher. Of course there...

The bullshitometer

 As we are confronted by the waves of relentless mumbo-jumbo spewed by the media in either televised or printed form, it would be time for science to come up with some kind of technological solut...

The best work possible

 I'm off from work. That kind of explains a more laidback mood, less foaming, the surgence of something not completely dissimilar to goodwill towards the fellow man. This can't be described. Only...
