'Molleydooker' Day, August 13. Top Story - August 2026.
Lefty, Molleydooker, Cack-handed, I have heard them all. I should be saying I am left-handed and proud of it. The reality is, I am not. I have put up with it for seventy years. It is a bit like the hound dog that sits on the thorn. Just too darn lazy to move.

Cinema Lumière. Top Story - August 2026.
8 ½ is advertised on the marquee, but we had only about 6 1/2 in the cans. We didn’t call our theatre manager the Snow Plough for nothing. As the audience was seated, the guys in the delivery van were holding back the rest of the film because the Plough couldn't pay for it. The money had disappeared up his nose. The full house was munching on snacks, unaware of the tap dance going on out by the van - a tap dance like no one had ever seen in any Astaire flick.

Women are Objects. Top Story - August 2026.
Welcome back to another Monster fueled rant. Today, I want to talk about a video I came across on Instagram.

There is no clean link to the video that I can find anywhere outside of Instagram and there is no link to share it, so let me break it down.

The Legend of the Rollright Stones. Top Story - July 2026.
Stone circles have always fascinated me. Growing up near Stonehenge and Avebury Circle, I have always been hooked by their mysteries - even after moving away for uni and building my own life. I somehow ended up just moving down the road from them.

A number of things indicate the writing's on the wall
As I explained in the second part of this look at the ominous omens indicating a New World Order could be on the horizon I suggested World Goodwill’s "Coming One" could already be waiting in the wings, just biding time until the right moment arrives for a Google search to produce the big reveal... because if anyone should know that person’s identify there's a certain someone who could possibly serve as a gatekeeper with his finger right on the pulse.
