Flaws And Imperfections
Introduction This was initially inspired by a long-running problem I have with our platform, but I am trying to deal with that but it then got me thinking about how systems should always be flawless and should work, while the flaws and imperfections in our character actually make us what we are.

ApocEclipse Now
Introduction This is inspired by the prompt from Graham Cooke on this comment that I made on Social Media: This is meant to be a humourous take but it may cause offence. The 8th of April was going to be the day of The Rapture but, once again, we are still all here.

The Grand National
The Image is an AI Image By Me,And I Know Everything is Wrong Here - Just Like The Grand National. The Grand National is a disgusting event. Too many horses in a race that results in many horses being put down after each race. This is not a race it is a mass execution.

On Modesty
Introduction I have written about this before, how the human body must be covered in the name of modesty. I will probably repeat a lot of points that I have previously made but they do need repeating. I often say to people who remark on the number of Vocal stories I publish, that I am a bit like a newspaper, you just read the bits that catch your eye and interest you.

My Significant Vocal Stories
Introduction When my number of Vocal stories was approaching one thousand nine hundred I realised that the number of the Vocal Story would correspond with significant dates or events. There were conjunctions that I missed or ignored but recently I posted story number 2,112 which was also the title of an album by Rush, so I decided to mark that with another story.

The Art of ..... Knowing What You Are On About
Introduction Ths is a Seven Days In post from 2012 and abservations from a friend on what I posted. One of the problems with old blog posts, and same is true for Vocal Stories is that links can disappear, so what was once a vibrant and informative piece may become a bit of a car crash. The initial words might be fine but if the links are integral to it then that can look, to say the least , unprofessional, although all the work I do is decidedly amateur, that is to say it is done because I want to do it. Saying it is amateur just meen it is not done purely for financial recompense.
