Ageing in todays world is made far harder whilst living in the knowledge that future generations will never see so many of the wonderful things that so many of us barely remember.

Though it's noble to work hard and to make a success of one's self, do not spend, and waste your entire life working for someone else if it means you'll never do so in one way or another for yourself.

There will never be another Chas and Dave.

The mass majority of society has become so miserably and insecurely engrossed in the forever growing, unquenchable stimulus conjured by technology that they have little to no concept of the sense of purpose and contentment that for so long, existed without it.

There are many sights that make us miss what we're looking at even if we weren't alive to experience them when they took place.

Who'd have thought it would be so comforting to watch footage of traffic rolling by in Finchley Road, north-west London, England during the 1980s

I just dropped a freshly lit cigarette on the floor in Ilford. Considering what I know about the rodent issue here, it's best that despite the cost of cigarettes these days, I leave it where it is.

Incredible..........

A feminist that rejects motherhood is like a car with no engine. Pointless.

For most of human history, children were forced to grow up far too fast. All the way up to the comparatively recent days of the industrial revolution, the very concept of childhood seemed non-existent. For one glorious century, children, the most innocent among us, finally had the chance to be children. Now, once more, the youth are expected to completely skip their childhood and take on the hardships, dangers, responsibilities, and the misery of adulthood except without the class, confidence, culture, unity, rewards, or happiness afforded to their parents.

You just can't keep an old dog down

There are many people from England who do not realise just how beautiful she is until they've been away long enough to miss her.
