Hands up for Rose (and Giovanni)!
I can’t dance. Not even a step. I love to move and groove at wedding parties, and in my flat but there is no rhythm or co-ordination involved- none.

Strike action doesn’t work
I am teacher. I am a member of Union and I strongly believe in Workers’ Rights. But on Friday I changed unions from one that believed in strike action- although didn’t strike this time, to one that doesn’t. Strike action doesn’t work. I think the Trades Union movement is a positive one. Yet, when I…

She has attempted and failed at quite a few doppelgängers since… And while we’re looking for her: where’s the girl who signed into Weight Watchers and lost many, many pounds but is failing miserably (and comfort eating in consequence) to…

Raging against apathy: a pondering ‘lecture’: from me to me.
“In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came…
