Steampunk. Have you ever heard? Well, me, being an advanced culture-consumer, I’ve heard. I’ve read and loved Robert Rankin’s novels, many of which fall into that genre. But that was the extent of my familiarity with the Steampunk. What is it, I hear you ask. Many things apparently, all of which have something to […]
Architecture: Thrills of a Certain Lifestyle.
Prickly beasts are fortunately contained behind a glass! Nevertheless, they see you in the privacy of your bathroom, waving their fat thorny flappers at you, you – naked and warm, only just having emerged from the safety of your soft bed… They are waiting.

Tim raised his glass and said “Cheers!”. We all cheered and went on about our supper, when Alina solemnly said: “Might I […]
Geoduck, Gooey Duck, Gweduc…
