You can only regard the Tesla as an electric car if you can´t see past the end of your nose. Bloody advertising hype seems to have won the public round, but the electricity was generated largely by burning fossil fuels, natural gas, or coal -- so that´s what a Tesla actually runs on. Plus, if...

Wondering where this information has been for the past eight months ...?

I´m mixed race - Anglo-Saxon.

The following story is true, only the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Behind the bar of the Five Amigos, an establishment favoured by the less pretentious, we find Paco, a man of generous spirit and even more generous proportions, who is whispered to have Important Connections in...

Found this little chap in the garden, upside down, mouth agape, picked him up and laid him out straight on the table for a pic. Then I curled him up, head resting on the end of his tail for this shot. The cat came over and extended a tentative paw ...... WHAM! The cat went into low Earth...

Winter I sit in the sun, summer I sit in the shade: when it´s hot, you need some breeze, it´s a question of having the right altitude.

Lunch´s been and gone here, should take Uncle Percy to the shrink, for years he´s been convinced he´s a chicken. Thing is .......... we need the eggs.

I don´t have a telly, but I enjoy the excerpts on YouTube, except for the crashes, I´ve hit the tarmac too many times myself to watch with impunity. Cycling is very big here in Andalucia, packs of riders come belting up the hill past my place, where it suddenly goes from "steep" to "WTF?" yet...

Understood. And if my skin was a lovely dark blue, I would take grave exception to being described as black. So -- No black people, no white people, all brown people, (except for blue people). You have expanded my horizons, thank you.

Yes, It´s difficult, I find, to adapt to changes in one´s dietary requirements while holding fast to the ambition to grow old as disgracefully as possible. I´m nearly ready for a walking stick, which I will wave at the traffic with gusto. We have to move with the times.

Beans and other pulses are definitely the way to go, I hope to replace a lot of the meat I eat with them, and the Spanish have some great recipes. The meat available in supermarkets is highly questionable, so when I do buy it, I use the local butcher, who has a reputation to uphold. I´m...

Yeah, but I couldn´t smoke all that.

Good Heavens !

Thank you Shiloh, that´s really kind. I have resonated with some of your thoughts, and do I detect a hint of equivocation regarding thinking ? "For better or worse," I can relate to both of those, often wishing I had more control over this drunken rocking-horse mind that can´t concentrate on...

It´s not to be confused with meditation, simply a breathing method which calms the body. I don´t "do" meditation, though I´m told it´s better than sitting around, doing nothing ... I´d rather just be philosophical - and not think about it. (End of attempts at humour).

Hi kenv, glad to meet a fellow-sufferer. I have a book on my bookshelf called "The Lazy Man´s Guide to Enlightenment." It´s been there a couple of years. Must get round to reading it ... As for pests, my first line of defence is a daily glance beneath the lower leaves, as many bugs attack from...

I asked - Are you saying that the governments of China, India, Australia, Britain USA, Russia, Europe etc have conspired to create a world-wide deception, and persuaded all their medical staff to lie to their friends and families ? You responded, " "Not only that- It gets worse!!!!," accepting...

Even if it were possible to get all the world´s governments to join such a conspiracy, (which I think is unlikely), the idea that all hospital staff in the entire world were deceiving their loved ones about the true nature of the situation is not one I can take seriously without substantial...

Are you saying that the governments of China, India, Australia, Britain USA, Russia, Europe etc have conspired to create a world-wide deception, and persuaded all their medical staff to lie to their friends and families ? I can see definite evidence that some governments, particularly the...

That´s interesting - two examples of people who were so exceptionally "Black" that they were actually blue. I´ve never seen a piece of coal that was so black it was blue. In England, two babies can be born in the same street, one "Black" and the other "White." The first will always be "British"...
