It's been a while!

Starting Again!

 

So, to the future!

I've decided to start this thing up again, so expect more cynicism, sarcasm and idiocy, as well as the occasional bit of common sense. This is usually thrown in somewhere obscure just to throw everyone off balance.

It'll still include such mundane topics as photography, ice hockey, motoring, and the world in general, although, the world as we know it shouldn't be here now due to the religious fanatics and conspiracy lunatics having proclaimed that Sept 23rd, 2017 was the doom and gloom day that the Earth would disappear. Well, I'll be, it's still here. You got it wrong (again) guys. Must try harder! Get your act together and try and come up with something at least convincing. Continually bleating on about this extra planet Nibiru and how it's going to sneak up on the Earth and then destroy it while no one is watching is just getting a bit tedious and also a bit lame now.

I'll nip back later and add a new page, but for now, it's good to be back.

Mart.
