A Taste of London
There is a show on Recipe.TV called “A Taste of London” hosted by Chef Edward Delling- Williams. It is as the title of the show says the food of London and culture. Being a native of London Edward Delling-Williams on the subject of London and the food. I love to watch a taste of London anytime it’s on. I would even watch reruns of it even if I’ve seen the episode before because it’s so enjoyable. I also like Edward Delling- Williams. He’s a personal host of the show one of my favorite cooking show personalities.

One Story Below Is True
Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What If? Writing Exercise for Fiction Writers prompts The Exercise — In two or three sentences, write down three unusual, startling, or amusing things you did or that happened to you. One thing must be true; the other two must be lies. Use details. Read them to a group, and they may ask questions to help them guess which one is and which ones are not. The Objective - To understand how we can exaggerate events in our lives, appropriate the lives of others - friends, enemies, strangers - or just plain out and out lie. All these are ways of using what we see and experience to produce fiction.

Speakers Corner
Speakers Corner in London is another cultural note and place of interest that I had discovered in the United Kingdom. Of all the places and ways to learn about it was from one of my favourite shows "Married With Children". They had Al and the rest of the Bundy family go the Speakers corner. It was perfect to have Al speak at Speakers corner because the corner anyone can go there and speak about whatever is bothering them or that has been on their minds. Whoever was on the MWC writing staff that decided to have Al go to Speakers corner is a genius.

Walk into any timber yard in New Zealand and you will hear the same debate play out sooner or later. Is it better to buy timber from a big national chain, or are local and regional timber merchants the smarter choice?

Long Live Pete Burns
Rest in Peace to the late great lead singer of Dead or Alive Pete Burns. The band is known for the classic "You Spin me right round like a record baby" from the 80's. Dead or Alive had always reminded me of a Culture Club tribute act that made good. Other tracks that Dead or Alive was also known for the song "Brand New Lover'. As their career went on, they found their niche on the 80's festival circuit.

The Bionic Herald Declares War on the Grey Lady...
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Pompous Post recently came into possession of the following document while rummaging through the digital equivalent of a filing cabinet marked “Probably Important.” What appears to be the opening salvo in a potential journalistic battle royale (a term we are using in the broadest sense and without paying any royalties to Vince McMahon) raised enough questions about integrity, tradition, and the future of news that we felt obligated to share it. We believe in transparency, facts, and letting readers decide for themselves… especially when the gloves come off.

Myth No More
Wilmington, Delaware in winter always marveled the mind of Pollard Hedrich. Wrapped in brown skin that rivaled the inside of matchbooks, his mind had always been afire. He walked with his friend Tyrell Frankman, the color of charcoal, along a field with a clear path, snow surrounding them.
