You don’t need words to understand how I feel,
to know how engaged I consider to be involved
in the art of one sided conversation that you employ.
I take it all in and if I should desire I could shut my eyes
gently and let my ears take me to the paradise
you promise, the Heaven in which I desire and lust after
more and more each day.
Many I have loved, and I could recite their closing words to me
when they whisper down my ear with the subtly
Jack, the Lad
Every day Jackie’s alarm wakes him up to a randomly selected song from The Charlatans’ Wonderland album. Today it’s Judas and the scratchy synth-laden intro has sounded six or seven times before he gives acknowledgement to anything other than the snooze button. The last time he looked at the clock it was 5.41. Now it’s barely half 7. It’s been another predominantly sleepless night at The Playhouse on New Street.
I’m as deaf as the Iron Men I watch far from the squall,
but they see so much more than I do, even through
the gloom and dark of both ends of the day.
That raven black sky is pitted with the most beautiful
fire stained red and blistering orange,
as if a far off volcano had burst into life
and sending its majestic deadly plumage as far as the Crosby coast-line
High above the Iron Men seagulls battle bravely,
their squawking, bickering, distasteful arguing is unheard

The safety of France is at stake and yet somehow it is The Musketeers that have placed it in danger by rescuing a man from a lynch mob. It is the sort of opening to a new series of hugely successful adventure series The Musketeers that feels as good as it possible to be.
Psychology assessment
the last of my three.
Ten minutes to go,
the last of my hour.
Here I sit, listening,
listening to the rustle of paper,
the scribbling of pens.
Some sit quietly waiting,
waiting for the test to end.
I sit here in a world,
a world that is mine.
The rustle of paper
becomes the wind.
The scribble of pens,
becomes the rustle of leaves
My desk is gone.
My class mates are trees.
The clock ticks loudly,
Although i could hardly hear it from my desk.
I walk forward.
The wind still blows.
The leaves still rustle.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating: 8.5 out of 10
Futuridium EP Deluxe is a retro space shooting game available for download from the PlayStation Store for the PS4 and PS Vita. Futuridium EP Deluxe is a faithful homage to a retro classic by the name of Uridium which was originally released on the Commodore 64 in 1986 before being ported to the ZX Spectrum.
The story revolves around a spaceship pilot who becomes lost in a dimensional loop prior to a large scale space battle, so the spaceship pilot is now trying to find his way out of the dimensional loop in a bid to find his way back home.
The pyjamas are a dead giveaway my love
of the playful personality that hides beneath
the shell, what is unseen to those above,
the mischievous Bear, the honey stealing loveable thief.
Pink those Pyjamas are, a shade of salmon that the writer
may have thought impossible outside of a Scottish river bed
and they suit your complexion and your spirit as a Merseyside fighter
whilst taking nothing away from your overall street “cred”
Thankfully this Pooh is not of the cartoon variety
instead it is the one adored by polite society
I may as well be Ginsberg if that’s just how I should be viewed.
Perhaps I should shock the establishment with the odd profanity
dropped here and there and suggest that the taking of Peyote
might ease the conscious and open the mind
to generation upon generation
that has been taken for granted, abused and pissed upon
from every angle in the name of all things superficial.
I may as well be hung for causing outrage where there was none
and believe me when I have hurt myself a thousand times

The English and their manners, it is a wonder at times that we haven’t tied ourselves up in knots and caused a type of inner combustion with the subtle one-upman, or indeed in the case of the three part television series Mapp And Lucia, one up-womanship that so leads to conflict with our neighbours and dearest friends. It is possibly the modern etiquette attached to an English Civil War, if we cannot get rid of a Government taking the country apart, lets kick down the social ladder.
