OK, I went for twitter.
God did not forbid, and  my hat was delicious.
Twitter is perfectly balanced, appealing as it does to one’s
egoism
(How many followers do I have?)
curiosity
(I wonder what is hot today?)

and literary skills.

Pardon? Literary skills?

Certainly, lterary skills. 140 characters is enough to hone a thought to almost perfection,
you cannot be verbose, and if you shun the temptation to use mobile phone speak, you have to think with a koan  like intensity that makes you head hurt in a good way. You have to be brief and interesting.
A good challenge and I accept.
So only another million and a half followers and I will be up with Stepehn Fry and Jonathan Ross.
Oh Brave new world…..

Only three years or so late, I thought I would jump back to the future with a blog. At least it will be there when they are back in fashion, (in about five years time at current rate of change). I am not vain enough to think that anyone would follow this blog, but if you stumble across it on your  Internet rambles, then so much the better. This is the only place you will find things I write (apart from books); you will not find me on Facebook or (God forbid) Twitter.

To be continued….
