Opening gambit....

Actually, it seems a bit weird doing this, My mate, Nix, and I were chatting about blogging and possibly setting up a weblog to question and challenge a few of the ludicrous things that happen in this world. Add to that the fact that I wanted some vehicle to display my artwork, both my own, adapted, as well as the original work I’ve collected by other artists over the years, and I sort of ended up with my own web site. But even having a diiray page on that didn't really address the blogging issue.

The entries in the website diary, are likely to be pretty varied and may seem more of a stream of unconsciousness rather than consciousness to many. They didn't tackle the stuff Nix and I

talked about over a pint or two in the Hare and Billet in Blackheath. On the website the entries veer off into the wild, wacky and sometimes contentious, but they don't appear challenging enough to me, hence this blog.

The inspiration behind doing this originally was Bono, or more precisely Bono’s hat. Is there anything more ludicrous in this world than a court case about a hat?......Probably......but it seemed more than ludicrous enough over a pint or two in the Hare & Billet to stimulate this. In reality it was my mate, Nix, who sort of threw down the gauntlet of getting the weblog up and running. I hope I can persuade him to put a few thoughts up on these pages as well; Also, I hope to get little Bro, Matt, and his mate Steve R to provide some input as well, I hope they will also see fit to want to post the odd thing as well.
