Down on the Farm. 1977-1982 – Chickens and Cows

19th May 2026 Going Postal 0

I took the reading appellation off this piece as it’s not really about that but about a particular aspect of my high school education. The school I went to can be described as brutally academic. [more…]

In Support ….of the Support – Part One

11th May 2026 Going Postal 0

Once again I’ve found myself starting a piece for here where so much stuff has come into my mind I’ve had to split it. The lot of a support band is not great. On a [more…]

When We Was Fab – Cars – Speeding

22nd April 2026 Going Postal 0

Reading – A Love Story: Into the Great Wide Open 1977-1982

25th March 2026 Going Postal 0

I started high school in early 1977. A very different place. You went from being a 12 year old at the top of the food chain to some insignificant squit. There were people with pubic [more…]

18th March 2026 Going Postal 0

Reading – A Love Story: Learning to Fly 1970-73 Part 2

18th February 2026 Going Postal 0

After the first few months of getting to grips with the reading at a low level the classroom books on offer while reasonably entertaining were not really enough for me and so I turned to [more…]

Reading – A Love Story: Learning to Fly 1970-71 Part 1

11th February 2026 Going Postal 0

One of the most endearing traits of Western society is what we do in our spare time. The variety is enormous ( I’ll write more about this in future) – some are individual and some [more…]
