Words With Friends, Our Vocal Connections
I used to play a game called Words With Friends on Facebook , and then on my phone. I ditched it on Facebook for intrusive adverts , then on my phone because it ran down the battery so quickly and the number of women who contacted me and would not accept I was just there to play THAT game.

A Song , A Muse , A Vocal Creation
We are all writers and we all need inspiration. You may be lucky and words may pour from your pen. Euterpe is the Muse of Music , but your Muse may be what you listen to, A friend , a lover , a soul mate , a place , surroundings , a pet , almost anything that inspires you.

Power
Many years ago I worked for EE and one of my colleagues remakes that we were effectively always on call if something went wrong. I agreed with her but said that that mobile phones were a sort of victim of their own success , and a lot of people expected quite rightly for their service to be available twenty four hours a day, and if it wasn't available for any reason they needed it fixed.

A Vocal Centurion
This is my hundredth post on Vocal, should I do a poem or should I write about what I have learned or learnt or is it both or neither. English grammar can be a pain at times.

Welcome To The Machine
I've just been struck how much machines are encroaching on our working lives. The Luddites smashed the machines during the industrial revolution because they feared that their jobs and therefore their livelihoods would be threatened. The French threw their clogs (sabots) into the machines to wreck them (hence the word "sabotage"). It turned out the Luddites were wrong , the industrial revolution produced great economies of scale for goods that could be mass produced, and generally standards of living improved.
