I thought I would issue a bonus post today seeing as it took very little effort 🙂 I can’t claim credit for the text below just as I can’t track down where it originated from but I hope some of you will like it.

Wrestlemania XXX
With political scandals, the Queen dining with former terrorists and my sending a manuscript to the publishers, it’s a fair question to wonder why I’m writing today about wrestling.

I especially liked the sequences of rural… Continue reading London 2012 – Shaken not stirred!

Chivalry emerged from the lawless times of post-Roman Britain and became a code of conduct by which Knights sought to live… Continue reading Chivalry – it’s not just for knights
