Bass Player Seeks Gig
It’s been a while since I posted anything … Mike Miller sent me this a while ago and it still raises a chuckle. To be honest, I had to read it twice to decide whether or not it really is a spoof.

Face to Face
A while ago I started playing around with photo-manipulations of peoples’ faces. I long ago noticed (like you probably have) that most peoples’ faces are not symmetrical. One eye usually has a different expression to the other — and the mouth is usually slightly lopsided. Without going into all the science of it (which would fill several books) there’s sound evidence to support the idea that one half of the face (usually … Continue reading

The Manager himself seems OK with the casting , but Harry H doesn’t look too sure. Perhaps we should … Continue reading
Scratching Post
Yesterday my cat Lucy watched as I was topping up the oil under the bonnet (hood) of my car. Of course, cats have a natural curiosity about them. But she didn’t come any further than the garden gate as I’d previously impressed upon her (more than once) that were she to venture into the road, she’d almost certainly be flattened into a two-dimensional tabby wall-hanging by a runaway juggernaut carrying twenty-two tons of concrete blocks and a replacement propeller for … Continue reading

Folk Tale
There’s an Armenian folk tale that tells of a man who had a bass guitar with only one string, which he used to play for hours on end — always holding his finger in the same place. For seven years his wife put up with this note in the patient expectation that her husband would die of boredom. But since that never happened, one evening she remarked gently, ‘I’ve noticed on Bruce Thomas’s videos that this wonderful instrument has four strings, … Continue reading
