When a Book Costs Less Than a Drink… I will admit it straight from the off! I am a writer with an axe to grind and I cannot understand people who complain that books are too expensive. Most books, in the form of ebooks, cost less than the price of a drink! My ebooks cost …

#FBPE – The Anti-Brexit Twitter Hashtag Have you ever heard of #FBPE ? No, I hadn’t until recently either, but apparently #FBPE is the anti-Brexit hashtag that is sweeping the country amongst those who can’t see the sense in leaving the EU. Well, to quote the Animals, “And, God, I know, I’m one…” I have …

Spamming YouTube YouTube is owned by Google, which I will admit right up front is not one of my favourite companies. In my opinion, Google behaves like most bad, bossy fathers, demanding that you do as they say, not as they do, if you want to do business with them. I also suspect that they …

Water Supply I didn’t realise it until today, but the local water supply was cut off five days ago. Please don’t assume that I don’t wash often, it isn’t that, we have a water tank with a capacity of a thousand litres and an automatic pump attached to it, so while other households have been …

Being Ill in the Countryside A lump has been growing on my back for the last week or two. I haven’t paid it much attention because it didn’t hurt and I have had a non-malignant lymphoma removed before. The surgeon who did that in the UK twelve years ago, said that I could get …

Fourth of July From the thirteenth of September, 2004 to the fourth of July, 2005, we slept on my mother-in-law’s floor in the small, rice-growing village where we live in northern Thailand, while we were waiting for our own house to be completed. However, after a party at a friend’s that finished after midnight on …

Linguistic Sloppiness. As my regular readers will know, I am in love with languages, so I have noticed a strange shift in the BBC’s reporting. When I was a student of the USSR and Russian in the seventies, we talked about THE Ukraine, THE Caucasus et cetera. Now, as a Russian language speaker, I know …

Marketing Your Artwork Marketing, advertising, promoting, publicising… it’s all basically the same thing, ie getting the word out there that you have something fantastic to sell. So, where do you begin? This may sound odd, but you should begin before you have anything to sell. Let’s say you’re a writer, like I am. You could …

American versus English I have had a hard week one way and another, but mostly because of the way different people have a different take on things or even life, I suppose. A lot of it has had to do with language, I think, American versus English and perhaps something to do with gender This …

However, in the last thirty days or so, two of the largest players on the Internet, Google and Amazon have decided to force everyone to make huge alterations to …

Carling Black Label I think I remember when Carling Black Label was first introduced to the widespread British beer-drinking public. There was an advert for Carling lager on television and my mother commented that that was my father’s latest favourite drink. I was still underage, and I remember commenting that I couldn’t understand why people …

Even if you are a bookshop owner’s dream and buy your latest reads locally, the chances are that you do your research online and, therefore, on Amazon. And why wouldn’t you? ‘What …

A Life in Twenty-Two Kilos Forty-four kilos is the average luggage allowance for a couple flying abroad – twenty-two kilos each. That is how much you can take with you, even if you are starting a new life – even if you are emigrating. It is the airlines’ norm. I can see why that is …

Arrival in the UK was far simpler than we had anticipated. Immigration was confused by our documentation but could not fault it. However, things did not work out as we had expected…
