LAST POST?

Well folks, this is it. I have been trying to post this for the last hour but I keep falling asleep over the computer. Fortunately a computer pal has just called in and is typing for me. I imagine that this is the beginning of the end... that from now on I will grow sleepier and sleepier day by day ...

Hey Folks! Back on Dialysis!

Caught you out there didn't I? I was back on the dialysis machine for 3 hrs, but not for dialysis. It was for a process called ultra-filtration, to take off a couple litres of fluid to aid my breathlessness. I will be going to the hospice in about an hrs time and I am dictating this to my invaluable...

What a Jabe!

I say, I say, my old beans and crumpets! Isn’t this a jolly old jape? First I get to plan my own death, then I get to write my obituary and then to read what you all you nice folks say about it. It makes me feel too good to die. I am going to apply to the Supreme Court for a writ of Habeas Co...

for Bill

Bill: you like discussions on philosophy. Well, here is such a discussion, totally non-contentious, which you might enjoy but is pitched at a level far beyond my capacity to absorb. Much too deep for me. But maybe you could cope. It's an extract from the autobiography of Sean O'Casey with whose play...

[quote="Bill"] >>if this law is true in physics and there is indeed some sort of universal law, then, can it also be true for nature and perhaps human nature<< Isn't that taking Newtonian law in a direction he never intended? >>Also you say thing like “what God should beâ€

Hi Bill: I agree with all you say. 'We just don't know' has to be the current answer. That's why I am at issue with all dogmatics...with those who say there is a god and with those who say there is no god. How do I know whether there is a god or not...or whether there are a thousand gods? All I can ...
