Back again

I appreciate that I haven't posted for a while. Sorry about that.
Well I'm here and posting again. And I am writing this post for two reasons.
Firstly a thought that publishers of books should consider releasing more titles for free. I do have my reasoning, mainly that books can be rather expensive, more free books over a wider range of genres would serve to encourage and enable more people to read. It's a prospect made easier to achieve with the proliferation of smartphones, tablet computers and e-readers.

My other point may prove more controversial. That is the men who feel it is acceptable to disrespect the memory of the brave people who have lost their lives in the service of their country. Now I am not aiming this argument at these men because they are muslim, I couldn't give a toss what faith they belong to, what I care about is that people have died, and their sacrifice should be remembered and respected, they paid the ultimate price for their country. If some fanatics have a problem with what this country is doing then they should take it up with the government, as they are the ultimate puppetmasters of our armed forces.
And personally I feel that if these people don't like what this country is doing then they shouldn't be here in the first place.
Finally I hope the police prevent this publicity stunt from taking place, and consider prosecution for outraging public decency.

a while

Sorry I haven't posted anything on here for a while. I do have a good reason, I have a job now, go me. That does therefore take up a fair bit of my time, that being said however, I am starting to fall into the rhythm of it all, so I should start posting more often. That is the only real development in my life though, so there hasn't been much to write about.
I am going to pose a question now though. It is October, at least, when I wrote this at least. At the end of the month is one of the must superstitious days of the year. I talk of course about Halloween, All Hallows eve, Sahmain, day of the dead etc etc etc.
Whatever you believe, it's there. So, how do you pay tribute, celebrate, commemorate etc? Do please share, it would be interesting to find out.
