DICK SPLASH
These words are about the most horrible things most humans do not want
to have in their heads; words about death and fear which are not easily
spoken or shared.
Maybe they are difficult to address in a fine and determinedly positive
periodical.
Well, I have difficulties with all sorts of things...
Like attitudes to death and disease. They're a part of life - while some
may drift away on a scented cloud, if I don't choke when being spit-roasted,
I hope to go out on a trail of slime - why do I care - I won't be there.
Ageing (the worst thing about ageing for me so far has been predatory
youngsters). Religion (my main prayer is 'May God save us all from Religion').
Carers (carers are great, but I want a 'sharer'...well all right then,
anything with a pulse). And political correctness (as you may have noticed!)
If moaning and whining were not already so commonplace, I'd say how about
a 'dismal old farts' corner in the magazine. We are an endangered species!
There's more, but I'll give it a rest at this point.
