BLOGGER BARD
Have I ever lied about the books I’ve read? Well, apparently two thirds
of Brits have. Is that all? I doubt if there are many who haven’t –
occasionally. It seems oneupmanship still reigns – even in the literary
pursuit where wisdom is supposed to reside. Minds’t you, I think there
is a bigger problem of untruth in this subject. Namely lying to yourself
about what you’re going to read. Have you got that pile called ‘one

BRIT NEWS: Millions are seeing their retirement dreams in tatters,
expecting to have to work for up to 9 years after retirement

So much we could have felt;
Living in caves, technology gone,
So much we love Earth’s song
FLASH 55 – GREEN SOLUTIONS
Fiction: There was quite a fracas as they arrested Mr Bigbiz. His
ambition had gone too far – it was a specious plan anyway. Suspicion
began as the number of Greens began to decline. ‘Where have they

First kiss, feeling shy,
Tentative approach, almost sly,

Oh dear; disaster! Saliva trail,
Try again, eyes tight shut,

But if you can survive this early strife,
Chances are you’re in love for life
