Blogs are Back as House Move Completes
After being inundated with literally ones of people asking where my blog posts have gone in recent weeks, I am glad...no, I am actually delighted, to announce that I am not dead yet and that my eclectic blend of razor sharp untamed wit, satire, and comments on current affairs will be once again appearing on your screens as you salivate in anticipation over your keyboards like DLT on a 70's edition of Top of the Pops.

Walter Palmer and Cecil the Lion!
If American dentist and big game hunter, Walter Palmer, didn't know what it is like to be hunted, he does now.
