You may assume that Borris Jonson is not one of my favorite politicians and you would be correct but I am impressed by the way he is sending arms, money, and helping to train the soldiers in Ukraine.

I hope that other countries show the same resolve because the war won’t stop at the borders of Ukraine.

World organizations are starting to investigate whether war crimes have been committed in Ukraine and this will probably take years to prove. Or the officials could walk through the streets of some of the cities vacated by the Russians and count the bodies of dead children and reach a conclusion in minutes.

It seems that the inevitable will happen and Russia will take complete control of Ukraine. Putin will then look at other countries that he can invade and if the West tries to intervene there is always the big red button that he can press.

And quietly waiting in the wings is China because if Putin succeeds in Ukraine they will have the green light to take over other countries they consider to be part of China.

So is there any way to prevent this from happening, well unfortunately at the moment only sanctions but they need to be dramatically increased. Remember what happened in Afghanistan normally the easy part is to take over a country but to retain it is a different matter, especially when what you are doing to the Ukrainians will make them hate you forever.

Remember when the pandemic started and the whole infrastructure of every country came together to find a vaccine well we need to work together to help our friends and we need to become independent of certain countries for our energy supplies, and we should aim for this to happen not in ten years but only two.

And the next thing we should look at before it becomes another crisis is to make our own products again because if we fall out with China (and it will happen) most countries rely on them for nearly everything.

So my attempt at writing an innovative sci-fi book has gone live as a Kindle Ebook under the name David Timmins.

David Montgomery is the head of LIFE the largest and most innovative genetic drug company in the world. He has the most affluent lifestyle but having survived terminal cancer he suddenly realizes that death would take all this away and although LIFE has produced a range of drugs that are capable of extending human life David wanted far more than just a few extra years, he wanted immortality.

At one of the regular brainstorming sessions Peter Simpkins a brilliant scientist suggests developing human clones as a way of fast-tracking their research. Produced in batches of ten the clones have only basic intelligents, no awareness of what life means, and poor mobility with a lifespan of only a few weeks.

All the clones are kept in secure glass fronted rooms and are monitored twenty -four hours a day in a high security section of the complex. On a perfectly normal day and without any warning the whole facility is plunged into darkness for thirty minutes and when the power is restored Joe one of the latest clones has disappeared without security being able to find out how or where too.

In an effort to get results John Smith an enigmatic and distant figure is brought in and he soon realizes that this is no ordinary investigation and that Joe has somehow metamorphosed into something that is far superior to even his creators.

There is a small amount of violence and sexual mater in this book of approximately 66,000 words but no bad language.

Best read while drinking a bottle of red wine in a warm country or the UK on that one hot day in summer.

So here we go again, another leader of a large and ambitious country who is in complete control of its political direction without the restraints that sometimes come from having and listening to a group of sensible advisors.

And who wins in a war, no one. But even if one person and one country eventually rules the world there is something that will take all that away and that is death.

This will rival Woodstock or Glastonberry and will generate a large amount of money.

Just think what you could do with it, (1) redecorate your flat because when I saw pictures of it last week on our local news I felt so sorry for you and your wife because it was still the same as it was in Victorian times.

(2) You could have a really good party but take my advice and call it a business meeting.

(3) Watch what you say in front of the cat because they have no loyalty; a bit like colleges.

So my real thoughts

We all make mistakes and in engineering, there is a saying (if you have never made a mistake you have never made anything).

But you have made a lot of mistakes and the only way around this is to apologize and mean it.

But I wonder how many other members of the cabinet were involved in these business meetings, no doubt we won’t find out until one of them becomes the next PM. But surely because all the members of the cabinet are extremely clever non of them would risk a leadership cull until the furor over the business meetings has died down; it would be like the turkeys voting for Christmas.

‘Look who’s coming to dinner)

‘Born too late’ was a song from around 1958, a time when some of the great new innovative singers had just started to emerge.

The Poni-Tails only had one major hit single and although many would say that there was nothing special about the way they put the song together I liked the melody and especially the lyrics which described a longing for something that was unobtainable.

Plus it was accompanied by what I thought was one of the most interesting sax riffs which turned a simple tune and backing into a rare combination that could transport someone back to the time in America when it started to become musically alive’ a time when music changed from black and white to colour.

Perhaps the sax possibly by Frank Jenson was not as inventive as the one played by Raphael Ravenscroft on ‘Baker Street,’ but for me, it had a far more subtle feel and it combined perfectly with the piano arrangement.

Listen to it while having a glass of red wine and have it loud enough to bring out the marvelous backing arrangement,

Picture of nuts and fasteners; the one nut is in a shallow housing which spins if someone tries to remove it without the correct tooling.

This is a fastening system that looks the same as an existing one but I have made simple changes to the fasteners and the tooling which changes it into a high-security fastening system.

The fastener if sunk below the surface of the component it is securing would be very difficult to remove without the tooling. It has a greater torque rating than an allen pin, has less wear, has a better compression figure, and can be used as a high-security fastener or nut.

These tables are intended for loft areas, penthouses, and barn conversions but will look good in nearly every setting.

I will be making them in for four sizes, the table shown is the smallest one.

The tables are made from 45mm thick- kiln-dried carcass timber sanded all over but with the knots and deeper marks left as it is part of the tree’s history.

The carcasses are held together with lengths of extruded aluminium which are sunk into the underside of the table and an 8mm gap is deliberately left which produces a very aesthetic look.

The colour is stunning and changes in different light sources. (Tilt the computer screen to see the differences) It is derived from a mixture of dyes and not a paint finish and all surfaces are treated with three coats of dye then sealed with three coats of flat wax.

The black legs are made by the Hairpin Leg Company and are very strong and excellent quality.

Not available to order until February and at the moment a seven-week delivery as I store them at room temperature for three weeks.

Only made individually to specific orders.

U.K delivery only and initially I will be using Etsy as the Website please see for sizes, full description and prices will be posted on web site. (not set up until February)

Book scenario

Nearly everyone could remember the moment the holographic spot appeared on their hand. It would be almost impossible to miss the thin black 25 mm ring with a white centre. But it only happened to humans over the age of seven years old because this was the age that the Sheen considered the people who inhabited earth should arrive at a time in their lives when they became aware of the difference between right and wrong.

And the spot ….. well it was put there for a very specific reason.
