My articles

Obviously I stopped updating this some time ago.

A selection of some of the articles I’ve written in various places. Not everything I’ve written is available on the web and, of course, this list is by no means comprehensive simply because going back and finding everything was an impossible task – and sometimes I forget to update the list.

As  you might expect the originals were subject to edits, for good and ill, and I rarely chose the headline.

You may also want to check out The Daily (Maybe) Archive, or take yourself to Big Smoke which has all my past blogging which is obviously far too voluminous to list here.
