In fact I live in a rickle world totally enveloped by reading, classical music, pop music, art, architecture, computers, the internet, chatting, singing, theatre, fags, beer, clubbing, computer music making, drumming and the two brats. Safe to say so that I won't be wandering too far off the beaten track away from the above subjects.

I have long held the view that the best benchmark for the worth of any art is how much the artist gets paid. Yeah, it does sound contentious I know. And, to be honest, I have had many arguments with people because of this view. Actually, I held the opposite view for a very long time. Art, I reasoned, has to be pure. Money is, after all, crass. The two don't mix, they are polar opposites.

Now I must start this little treatise by saying that I generally don’t believe in predictions of the future. Maybe it’s the cynic in me, maybe it’s my auld logical-as-Spock Aspergers head, but it’s just something that I’ve never felt could be true, you know? I do believe that there is a lot of subtle information out there that people just don’t pick up on, an amazing trait my Dad does have, and

“Peace Of Mind”: Blatant Fraud or Undiscovered Beatles Song? I used to be in the habit of picking up Beatle bootlegs whenever I came across them in various fairs or dodgy record stores around the country. These second, third or even fourth generation tapes had usually been transferred from some bootleg vinyl, and would invariably vary in quality from laughingly nowhere-near-CD-quality

Have you any idea at what stage in a male’s life he makes the transformation from "Angry Young Man" to the "Grumpy Old" variety? These monikers have always pee-d me off as I have always thought that the distinction had more to do with age-ism than the subject matter the average male may rant about.Well, at 39 I must admit that I'm tumbling into the latter category with vigour.

Ya know what? I’ve become a firm believer in Positive Mental Attitude over the years. When I was a kid, the mere thought that you could change not only your own life, but your health and general well-being, as well as influencing the external world, well that was just plain magic, wasn’t it? Time and again though I’ve proved to myself that even a little white lie, repeated over and

Have you ever been totally bewildered by the machinations of the brains of the opposite sex?I'll give you an example. Some years ago I started dating a girl. Before we had even kissed we had a very sensible discussion about what we both wanted or didn't want from the relationship.As I have two kids already I told her that, for a variety of reasons, more kiddies were completely off the agenda.

You live in a world, separated by layers of ear holes and eyeballs, of insecurities and compound opinions, of synaptic firings and the dull stirrings of what is generally referred to, without any hint of irony, as a consciousness, without any real interaction with "out there", the real world. You may register a flower, you sense in its form the intimate, tightly bound dance of a million atoms

I was in Dublin recently and spent some time in a church that I had walked by many times but never visited when I lived in the area.I had my little communion with God, and while I was there, watched a guy work his way around the church, stopping at every statue and praying. He left just before me, and as I walked out, I noticed the hat he was putting on. "Visit Disneyland" it said on the back."

Did you see yesterdays BBC day time programme, "Living In The Sun"? Presented by Nadia Sawalha, it's a programme about "us Brits, right?", who make the plunge, leaving the land of bitter, soccer hooligans and bowler hats for the slower paced, sun filled Spanish climes of, er... Spain. As a programme recommending the move to that wonderful country, it was grand. As an object lesson in

What a wonderful world we live in! And ain’t technology just the tops?Do you remember playing the “Will-It/Won’t-It Load” game on the ZX Spectrum? Ah, you must! The game involved one Spectrum, one game encumbered audio tape, one tape recorder set to nanometre accuracy in order to obtain the precise volume level required to load said game into said computer, and a heap of prayers to Lord Sinclair

Ah, the new iPod Shuffle, look at it, small, sleek, barely the size of a stick of gum, with the remote possibility that it may even approach some level of affordability once it has crept across that mysterious watery channel that surrounds our fair isle with it's strange power to add one hundred per cent to the price of everything that crosses it's craven, greedy waters! Good job the Shuffle is

I remember playing with her at a birthday party some years ago, dimly I may add. Wasn't even entirely sure whose birthday party it was until she reminded me. We talked in the vaguely non-committal way we all do when one is not sufficiently sure about each others history, and ended up having a bit of a laugh too I must say.As it turned out, we were walking the same way home, and as I had a bottle

Well, here it is, the town I live in. Looks lovely there, doesn't it? Ya know, if you flew in from the sea towards the town and saw the twin peaks of the churches rising on the horizon, and then the little higgildy shops and narrow side streets start to appear along the quay front you'd think to yourself "What a pretty little town". The colourful shop fronts would come into focus as you travel

Ya know what, ain't this World Wide Web a grand bit of kit all the same! Oh, so many discoveries, music to look up, programs to download, people to chat to, quotes, funnies, bleedin' DC comic resources (yahoooooooooooooooooooooo), mad stuff altogether. And then I discover blogs! What a marvellous way to espouse ones mindless, uninteresting drivel on a world that doesn't give a proverbial poo.
