One shoe conspiracy theories Over the last few years, perhaps decades, I have noticed something rather odd. Whilst driving or riding around on our bike I have noticed an alarming amount of shoes littering our roads and motorways. That's not the strange part. There is only ever ONE SHOE. Never, ever have I seen a pair. I have... More..

I have researched that eternal question 'what happens when we die?' for several months now, via books on interlife regression, books by and about mediums and books on near death experiences. The most compelling 'evidence' in my opinion came from the books by live between life hypnotic regression, where the subject is taken r... More..
Computers & Technology > Website Reviews Assessing the future of Myspace: 4 of 14
Myspace. It's a funny old how dya do. It does seem that more and more people are getting fed up and 'jumping ship' to Facebook. I have never been on Facebook so I cannot really compare but I am a little disheartened with Myspace and perhaps the people that frequent it. I have just had a friend request and I decided to invest... More..
Entertainment > Musicians & Bands World's best guitarists: 18 of 50
How does one define a great guitarist? What qualities are required by a guitarist in order for him/her to be crowned The best guitarist'? The truth is that there are no definitive answers to these questions. I could just as easily ask "What type of music is the best?" because the answers will be just as wide and varied. It a... More..

THE INFAMOUS ELSIE PARCEL I have lots of childhood tales to tell. Some are funny, some are sad and some are downright bizarre. One particular incident stands out quite clearly in my mind. My big half sister Debbie (who lived with my Grandmother) used encourage me to get up to some terrible mischief. Being a gullible 8 year o... More..

GOING HOME A fictional story based on factual research. When Caroline Parkinson was diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer, she felt initially as though she was in a big, surreal bubble. She heard the words, but it sounded like something out of book. Other people had cancer, not her. She was sure the doctor was mistaken. He... More..

I have recently had a rather nasty encounter with a water melon. My husband and I travelled far and wide in the search for this exotic and mysterious fruit. I have never tried one before and was more than a trifle curios as to what these melons of water tasted like. Eventually, after traversing treacherous mountain trails an... More..

Memories of Derbyshire, Enlgand It was a brisk, crisp winter day in late November. Signs of Christmas were beginning to appear all over the country. We were camping in Derbyshire in our motor-home for the weekend but were not staying on a site as they are mostly closed this time of year. Derbyshire is a county situated in th... More..
Arts & Humanities > Helium Dos & Don'ts The "adult-only questions" ban at Helium: Lift it or leave it: 7 of 11
I actually think that Helium goes way too far with the adult content banning. I have had a few articles deleted and there was no swearing in them at all, I was addressing real issues that happened to me as a child. Obviously it was deemed unsuitable for the poor, innocent little children to read. I had to live through it! I ... More..
