This is Timmy Mallett. Not sure if that’s his real name, but it would be cool if it is. For those below a certain age, this man will be a relative anomaly and a complete irrelevance to their everyday life. For those of my generation and slightly older, this is the man responsible for making […]
Read More What Does This Man Have To Do With Anything?In the first part of this here little story of mine I gave the historical context of driving and me. Read it once more to refresh yourself on how we find ourselves here. In the world of being a pedestrian even I can’t walk everywhere and sometimes the bus is not suitable for the requirements. […]
Read More Taking Me For A Ride – Part TwoRecently I did the quarterly review of the kind of stuff that’s been published over at the over place. As I mentioned in that report though, whereas that blog is an open access blog with a lot of stuff easily accessible to people interested in the things I am, this here blog, the older blog, […]
Read More State of the Blog Address: Jan-Mar – DMCDComing from a Sabbath-keeping church tradition and then seeing things from a different perspective, it’s sometimes shameful seeing some of the conduct that we maintain in that tradition. One of them that’s particularly shameful is on a typical Sabbath service at the end of the morning study and the moderator/superintendent looks to give a welcome […]

Proverbs 13:20 The proverbs are so rich with truth and meaning that connects with real episodes that prove it to be true. In coming across this particular proverb is reminded me of the story of Jack.

Read More MTP13 The Company You KeepIt wasn’t that long ago that I was reading the biography of Michael Foot by Kenneth O. Morgan. When you read it you’ll note that at the time I was eager to write a review when I finished reading it, but never got round to it. Recently of course there have been tributes on the […]
Read More What’s In A Death – Michael FootOn this day a child was born, at this time a son was given and his name was called Christopher Luketon John Dryden. Up until last night I wasn’t particularly bothered about putting together a blog about a day like today. I don’t think I’ve done it in the past. That all changed when I […]
Read More Happy ChristophermasI was watching a faithful biblically accurate movie version of the book of Acts.
