This is just a short update to apologise for the lack of content released over the past few weeks. My Wife had to go into Hospital for a week (don’t worry nothing bad it was planned) between that and the extra care she required I was unable to post my normal amount. I am just slowly catching up and hopefully by the beginning of March things will be returning to normal. I have some really interesting content I am looking forward to sharing with you, so keep an eye out…

This cut is not put together out of…

‘As the usher brings forth the Ice cream and snacks, we wait for the main feature to resume’ In Robert Heinlein’s 1984 novel JOB: A Comedy of Justice the protagonist is in a constant struggle, when he makes progress something always seems to throw him off his stride. In one case paper money earned in one Mexico is then worthless as he ends up in an alternate reality where Mexico has become a Republic. These sort of trials and tribulations we can all relate to, well not exactly as we…
