Some Thoughts and Memories

Just after 1am on the morning of January 30th 2023 I heard a bell ring and then a little later two knocks on my door at the council flat in Chalvey, Slough. Two policemen had come to inform me that my pater had died in his council flat and forced entry had been necessary to recover the body. I was not really surprised by all this as it was expected as he would die "soon" as he was  91, and moreover on the last occasion when I saw him in December last his actions seemed a bit odd . He seemed to be suffering from a degree of dementia and was  "unable" to come out of his flat to have dinner with myself  in Turham Green. Instead he asked me simply to buy 4 bottles (or rather tins)  of Guinness for him. I undertook this strange request as a dutiful son, and later returned to Slough. His previous abode was a large private house known as Croft House in East Street,  Selsey where he lived with my step mother a Russian lady called Irina. It had a large abundance of inter...

  I found 2022 an extremely odd year for one reason or another. I will not go into that and neither will I discuss a certain something which was painfully traumatic and false for a long period of time. Mayhaps another time...I also experienced "tinnitus" too for the first time....... and I had a nasty accident by hitting the fleshy sockett of my eye into a wire fence which was very painful for a time and much blood was lost! My vision though was luckily  unaffected by this.............. Anyway,  like those in the UK I experienced the hottest day on record. It was bizarre. I went out onto the High Street and could feel this wind of intense heat around me. It was most peculiar and "unnatural."Ofcourse there were other heatwaves that drained me of energy temporarily. Most unpleasant. It is "alright"  if one lived in a country which was used to it.  Google listings for the UKs hottest day of the year since records begun....... July 19th 2022 !! Also there were...

                                                                                                       My mater died at the end of 2005. She used to say on one or more occasion that she would never go to hospital and if she did she would not come out alive. As predicted this actually happened. Apparently, if I recall aright she died from the mrsa bug in Oxford.  A few years later my pater married with my blessing a new woman who happened to be Russian. Her name was Irina . Her family seemed to have a close connection with Putin. Her very wealthy son lived just outside Moscow in a large mansion apparently containing much marble  and surrounded by fir trees. She claimed to be a ballerina in her youth and had the power ...

  For me the year 2022 was utterly appalling....probably the worst in my experience. This was essentially heightened in the light of the invasion of Ukraine by the Russians. What is even more shocking was the seeming fact that Putin could use tactical nuclear warfare as a means to gain the victory over other countries. This ofcourse is a very dangerous and fantastically stupid way of doing things. It is a form of Russian roulette. I thought I was stupid but.... this really took the biscuit! Unbelievable and surreal! I felt as if I was living on  another planet notably when threats of nuclear blackmail were made against  the UK and the US. For quite a long while I kept an eye on Putin and his gangster friends at the Kremlin via the internet. My main source of info was the Daily Express. I put a number of  Facebook posts  on the subject of the Ukraine war. Fortunately, things have quietened down a bit at the time of writing. But the threat of a tactical nuclear wa...

  For many years I have "haphazardly" on and off been thinking and developing a new paradigm which could if taken seriously be of great benefit to humanity. It is called Transfinancial Economics and reference is made to it along with my other projects on the brief biodata on the left of this page with a pic of myself, the blogger. For more info see   TFE Someone called Debesh Bhowmik contacted me on Facebook. He is a respected editor and author of many academic papers on economics. I sent him my link on TFE and he became very interested in it as the colossal importance of it dawned upon him realizing that this was indeed a genuine new paradigm. Indeed, he kept on badgering me to write a paper on TFE. At the time I was not in the mood to do this, and even blocked contact with him on FB for a time and decided to have a rethink. Fortunately, I decided to unblock him, and after a period of time I completed  a short "simplistic" paper with direct references on the subjec...

    In May 2022 I had an experience which lasted 4 weeks. It was in connection with my feet and was a medical condition known as Plantar Fasciitis. I was walking from Slough to Old Windsor for a job interview at a care home. As I crossed  a road I accidently "sprained" my foot. It was very painful and I had to stop. I sat for a while and then started to try to walk again. But the pain was burning red hot and excruciating....the likes of which I have had never ever experienced before in my entire life...and it kept on not just in one foot but also in the other one! At one point I collapsed on the ground as I could not walk at all. I feared becoming a life long cripple as the pain would never let up. At this point a woman in a car kindly stopped and helped me into her vehicle,  and she drove me to my job interview.  Anyway, normal every day life had become an ordeal. In Slough I managed to "hobble" about but only just. At one stage I fell over and crawled about br...
