1802.04 DISCOVERING NEW TV
When I was a kid we had 3 television channels and the only reason people had kids were to get up and change the channel for them.
Television, some say, is having a bit of a renaissance at the moment. Some of the best screen entertainment can be found on the little glowing box in the corner of the room (Ok, I accept that there's not much about modern TVs that are little or boxlike these days, the corner isn't the most common place for them either).

1801.22 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Last year I was asked to write a couple of guest blog posts, one of them was for my blog friend, Susan, who's a freelance writer from America. So hear it is in all it's glory...

1801.14 CATCHING UP WITH EVERYONE ELSE
I have a confession.
I love cartoons (that's not the confession). The actual confession is that I've never before watched the animation of Seth MacFarlane! Why? I always thought he was trying to knock off The Simpsons so never watched.

1801.06 BACK HOME ON MY OWN
Some couples are inseparable, others keep their distance. I like to think that we strike a healthily balance. We love to spend our time together but are free to pursue our separate interests.

1801.01 HAPPY NEW YEAR ANYONE?
So here we are. 2018. Still no flying cars but robots are coming closer to a reality (apparently). Living in the 21st century isn't entirely as it was sold to us.

1712.30 CHRISTMAS HANGOVER
As this is my last post of the year so I thought I'd better tie up the final loose end of 2017. So as the hangovers subside (at least till New Year's Day) let's look at my Christmas.

1712.25 THE CAPTAIN'S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
At the time I publish this (and if you're in the UK) you're probably sat down to your Christmas Dinner (I'm northern, dinner is at lunchtime - subject for another time) or sat in front of the TV watching the Queen give her address to the commonwealth. There's a chance you've decided to read this in which case I'm honoured, if you're catching up later on then that's fine too. Ok it's time for me to take the time to reflect on the year behind me.
