If there is an occupation that typifies the city of Liverpool, which the British public think of first when asked what job symbolises the city that gave The Beatles to the world, then surely without doubt the job of the Stevedore or the Dock worker would come out on top.

There have been so few writers as popular that have written for children who also made an adult crave the attention of the power of the imagination and all its beautiful trappings and escapism as that of Roald Dahl, that no matter your age or disposition, it is arguably impossible to turn your head away from the innocence on offer and the underlying tones of rebellion, adventure and childish revolt that go hand in hand across the works of the Welsh born writer.
The argument ran thus;
“What has Maths ever done for me?,
I mean it’s not like I even pretended
to take notice of the sex life
of the binary equation
and the evening antics of bisect,
the washing lines of Bicester not safe
when bisect was around, I haven’t given a toss
about trigonometry or the centimetre
since I discovered word play,
a cuboid is a Star Trek legend,
to estimate is for friends
the formula is a sport I don’t follow
a nine sided polygon is just

There are many places within the U.K. that still hold some enchantment, some elemental force of light and breathtaking charm over the minds of those who visit the glorious reminders of our once great natural heritage, the space that lay green and full of tales of wonder and spirit dwelling before the advent of the dark satanic mills; places such as the Lakeland area of the islands in which Pete Lashley makes his Magic Corner his home and his place of inspiration.

Through the silent movement of the wind such memories of grief can be harnessed. Grief, like hate is one end of the extremes of feelings in which humanity can find themselves dwelling, grief has to be endured and it can take time, time to which other might not grant you but it must be felt to be able to move on and accept what has happened.

Individuality must be considered as sacred, it is surely a fundamental law of humanity that to be different to everyone else, to feel connection to everyone by being dissimilar in thought, deed and drive, is a right worth preserving; when someone says to you, why can’t you be like x, that is the road to conformity that is to be avoided and heralded as the start of being a faceless and unthinking drone.
I’m sure they won’t be satisfied
until the day is forty-eight hours long
and still with only a few hours sleep
available between work and death;
they would find a way,
by shifting digits, by claiming
the Earth actually needs to go round
the Sun twice
to constitute a year, or just by simply
brow beating into the kids
that a day is twice as long as they think
by sending them too school for longer
and forgoing the activities
that make them become who they are;

Everything may well be temporary, everything might just be verging on the momentary and the transitory as we speed though existence, temporary is just another way of saying that we are filling in time. Yet some forms of satisfying Time’s inexhaustible stranglehold on our brief seconds are to be seen as the start of something beautiful, enduring and eternal; it just depends on fortune and the open souls of those who wish to see Time as an ally and not as a spirit to race against.

Time is complicated for The Doctor and his companions enough without adding the distraction of a Black Hole into their lives but when answering a distress call from a robot who finds the offering of tea a wholesome and pursuit worthy activity, Black holes become the least of The Doctor’s problems.
Promise me, if you can
that you won’t go out blazing
like Hemmingway,
she whispered in the darkness
of my thoughts whilst
forever bathing with sweetness and
open minded serenity,
I can cope with you fighting the bear,
I see the sense in wandering off into the great
unknown and the untouchable
but you are no Hemmingway,
you are not that selfish.
I thought about it for a while,
In between the tolling of the clock
and agreed, I would never see the sense
