About Me


Yuk, I hate filling out these "About Me" forms. They remind me of, well, forms. I'm reticent to say the least, so, dear "My Spacer", I won't be betraying too many of my secrets to you. One never knows who out there is watching and listening. Within minutes of signing on to this thing, I noticed two very sinister-looking black vans parked outside the kind with blanked-out windows that one often sees in Hollywood conspiracy thriller movies. Hey, and I'm not even a conspiracy nut! I subscribe the cock-up theory of everything, as future blogs will no doubt reveal. But for now, I'd rather remain: CAPTAIN MANOFMYSTERY

Why the Earth Didn’t Move for Me

Did the earth move for you in the early hours of last Wednesday? I didn't for me ("You'll be so lucky!" I hear you say). I certainly didn't feel a thing at around 1AM that night, even though I'm a ver...
