Empty Souls

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member (Groucho Marx)

About Me


Antony Britt (Nick), nearly became a man of mystery by completely failing to fill this in, but got round to it in the end. I am psychic, but having had no training, tend to be a bit irrational in that department. Well, if I did, I'd probably be dangerous.
There must be some truth, as professional psychics have refused to see me and I have been called "Spawn of the Devil" by a minister. Other than that...pretty normal.
In adult life, I've spent my time being (in no particular order), a Police Exhibits Officer, Buyer, Layabout, Bank Assistant, Warehouse Man, Production Office assistant, Stock Controller, and General Office Dogsbody. I also seem to have accumulated almost as many children as I have had jobs.
I have been divorced now for a few years and am putting those 15 years down as a weird dream. However, having now woken up, I currently enjoy the company of Clare. She is my soulmate and keeps me fit.
I live in Walsall, with some of my kids all the time. Some of my kids some of the time. And adopted kids all other times, in a house full of CD's, Video's, Books, and many unread pieces of paper which may hold the secret to eternal life, but are most probably telephone bills.
I think the aim of this profile, is to speak to anybody who is daft enough to listen. I post blog entries most days and it is up to you if you read them or not. I’m not looking for critiquing, as I don’t pretend to be any kind of writer. It’s there if you wish, take it or leave it. However, all are welcome onto the blog, and if you do…please leave a comment to say ‘Hi’ and that you were there.

My Interests


Seeing as I haven't played football now for over a year, I think you can say I've retired. I could still hold my own, but everybody else was so much younger than me. Therefore, I have decided that writing is a far less strenuous hobby.
