This Story Beggars Belief

The man who ordered this book-burning in Afghanistan has a functioning brain as poor as that of Dominique Strauss-Khan. Surely, he should have known that to burn anything slightly sensitive would have caused a riot. And of course it did!

Today, the day after the Times has leader entitled, Flaming Idiocy, on the subject.

Quite agree James, fancy getting so touchy over a couple of books.

- As you know my father was a printer. To him, all books were to be properly looked after. The biggest sin was to write in them, even if it was a humble telephone directory.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
