* Let me know if you do, Olga! :D (I don’t know if you HAVE read it … but it’s an interesting one: one that was influential for Orwell’s 1984.)
† Hello, Mum!
‡ I’ve tried to keep the answers short for that one, Debbi! Oh, talking of kicks …
§ Yes, I saw it, Trevor: it’s a fascinating thing! (As a thought for next time … ? You might want to open a picture in a new browser tab, and post the link to that: that always seems to work when I’m posting photos, here!)
Q5) wrong Funnily enough, I was reading an article about what happens in the brain when somebody dies, and how even after oxygen is cut off, it seems some areas of the brain start firing much more than usual and much more than expected. Consciousness more than conscience, but I guess there isn't the one without the other. Thinking about Conscientious objectors, I don't know if I ever told you that I had an English teacher, who was from the US, when I was 17 or so, who was rumoured to have left the States to avoid being sent to Vietnam. He never told us so himself, but that was the story doing the rounds. He was quite a character...

That is teaching your grandmother to suck eggs. I have worked with computers for over 55 years. I always have a number of tabs open in Firefox.
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
