Sometimes this odd notion passes through my head; and if i were to postulate on a scientific theory to back up my notion i would have to state my belief that time is donut shaped. This odd notion that everything, everything is predestined. Scripted. Fated. I suppose it isn't unusual for one to believe in the notion of fate. But it's a relatively new way of thinking for me. It easy to recognise patterns in retrospect. Individuals seemingly drawn back into the same circles like flies to a bugzapper, magnets to a fridge door, fluff to a belly button. For better...

Riverside Pill Boxes

author: Jamie : Peterborough, UK

"I mark the belligerent apathy of some long defunct river defenses. Reinforced concrete gun turrets that were once a last bastion of defense against the inevitability of German invasion. Perennial landmarks who now find themselves the unwitting victims of obscure preservation orders. This aimless government legislature protects its ripened beneficiaries from neither the diligent passage of time nor the rambunctious tenacity of youth." more about pill box defences on google

The Walk - Pubic Footpath Only

author: Jamie : Peterborough, UK

Over the last three years i've spent more time than i care to imagine let alone admit walking - thinking along this particular footpath. It's in my hometown. Where I always used to go when the shit hit the fan. This place, and one bench in particular, has a special place in my heart. So, the pubic footpath takes you over a small wooden bridge where you can walk along the bench and pill box lined river. As you walk along the river you pass this little thatched cottage. Now, this is nothing unusual in the UK. There are laws which state...

By far and away, the most common question I get is about biting. A typical question is something like this. “My bird is usually very well behaved and suddenly, for no reason at all, he bit me. Why would he do that?” I’ve covered biting before but I think it’s important to do it again. I spoke with a parrot rescue organization called Foster Parrots (they are the organization you support every time you buy something from Bird City USA) about why people give up their birds. One of the most common reasons is that the bird started biting and the...

London Squirrel Terror

author: Jamie : London, UK

Crack-addicted squirrels are terrorising Brixton in South London in a desperate search for a fix, eschewing their traditional nuts and digging up residents' front gardens in what appears to be a credible zoological threat to the Yardies' hard-drug hegemony. Yup, crack dealers and addicts have apparently taken to burying their stashes in people's gardens in the streets around the centre of Brixton after a police clampdown drove them from the thriving commercial centre of the popular London district. Locals have spotted squirrels digging in the same gardens, prompting speculation that they are already addicted to rocks and will in due course...
