Filmed in 1986, this film has become cult status and you may catch it being shown occasionally late night on BBC2 or other Art Channels.
The magic of this Walter Hill (director) movie is the atmosphere and kind of ‘lost’ feel it creates. It’s sad yet gives hope.
The scenes at the actual crossroads capture exactly the […]

I fully appreciate the risk of this post being viewed by someone of criminal tendancies therefore running the risk of them finding out my address and paying me an unwanted visit.
But, because I know a lot of people respect and appreciate my views on financial matters, I have decided to disclose my wealth and some […]

I love just about every wild bird. Seeing them in my front garden from the Kitchen window never ceases to amaze me what clever and ‘cred’ these creatures are.
We’ve got Woodpeckers, Chaffinch’s, Ti.t’s, the occasional Bullfinch, Heron’s, just about everything that flies in this part of Kent.
But one bird you can be sure of giving […]

The main advantages from doing your shopping at home, especially during the busy seasons like Christmas and Easter, are you’re ….
Saving Petrol by not going down the High Street, then after finding you can’t get the right thing, driving around the ever increasing Business Parks for what you want.
Saving Parking Fees and that long wait […]

It all began with illness associated to those living in homes close to power pylons. There was (and is) much evidence to prove all the findings correct, but the sertiousness of electricity on our health is being overlooked.

First of all I’d like to say that my Honda Lawnmower is the best Mower I’ve ever owned. It has cut my grass plus about 6 other people’s, put in the back of a Micra, Escort, Fiesta and Cinquecento.
In fact I know of at least 4 other people who have brought a Honda Mower on […]

It was either 1979 or 1980, I’m unsure, but it was a time of my life when I was a single man, foot loose and fancy free after the breakdown of my first marriage.
I met a young lady from Tunbridge Wells and after a few ‘dates’ in that area I asked her if she’d like […]

Every year about this time I set about collecting wood for the Rayburn and Living Room fires. It’s not far to go, a small wood sits at the side of the field at the bottom of the Lane. Hardly anyone ventures in it, mainly because they have no reason to!
So along comes a couple […]

In many ways, Dunkirk is similar to towns in Kent, just somewhere you pass through without stopping and taking in some of the scenery and history etc.
The northern part of France and Belgium have both seen many horrific events in the past 100 years. In WW1 the area was a mass of Battlefields joined together […]
