Psychology Assessment

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.

Futuridium EP Deluxe (PS4), Game Review.

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.

Pooh’s Pyjamas.

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…

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.

A New Arrival.

 

The clock turns slowly. The hour is at hand.

The widow breathes her last damp lungful of air

and produces,

as if on cue,

a screaming, unformed and ravenous offspring

to whom we offer our services, pledge our loyalty and celebrate

its arrival like a Medieval first born royal son.

 

The cold, wet night is grey and quiet,

all is hush as the muted labour pains continue

throughout the night and I watch from the vantage

point of my front step, trying to light

in vain

Liverpool Sound And Vision Awards 2014.

To the outsider, to those who either come into Liverpool once every year for a stag or hen night or the chance to lose heavily at Aintree, Liverpool may well seem a city of contrasts, a place in which many have pre-conceived ideas of how its people act, play, work and enjoy life. However to be an outsider who embraces the city and the surrounding areas with every fibre of being, that’s when the city really shows its vibrancy and complete uniqueness.

Charlotte Pollard, The Lamentation Cipher. Series One. Audio Drama Review. Big Finish.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Cast: India Fisher, Michael Maloney, James Joyce, Nicholas Briggs.

The feeling of rarity is quite uncommon when it comes to listening to the return of Charlotte Pollard.

Arguably the finest of all the audio companions introduced since Big Finish took the job on of bringing The Doctor back into the main stream consciousness of the British public, and before the B.B.C. finally saw sense in the folly of having let one of their most loved programmes go to waste, Charlotte Pollard, Charley to her friends, has travelled with two Doctors, been in an abundance of adventures with both and has captured the ideal of what it means to be a companion in the Tardis. To question, to investigate and not get become a quivering wreck in the face of adversity or under the sometimes withering gaze of The Doctor.
