Blue Moon

What happens once in a so-called blue moon?

Good fortune, perhaps? Well, it all depends which way you're inclined, I guess. Gary Player was once attributed to have said, "The harder I work, the luckier I get". So you may well be favoured by good fortune more often than once in a blue moon, or it may never happen, it all depends on the type of person you are. (Oh yes it does!) So, I say no.

Meeting someone special? Well, the very word special implies that it's something that might not happen very often, that might indeed happen once in a blue moon. So I say probably.

A blue moon? Well, full marks to the clever clogs at the back. Yes, a blue moon does happen once in a blue moon. Well done. Take a bow. And so on. Mr Delmonte (and I) say yes.

PS Anyone into blue moons please feel free to leave a comment, below. I'd love to know how you yourself are affected by such strange goings on up above.

"I'm Back!..."

"At last! After over six hundred and sixty days"

"Bigger, badder, better!

"I'm back!

"C'mon!"

Erm, that was a message from my, er, sponsor!

I too, will be back soon... bigger, badder and better. Er, c'mon!

Does it mean anything when... ?

Does it mean anything when you dream of someone that you haven't seen for a very long time? A woman you used to go out with, to be precise. In the dream they're sitting in a sports car, in the passenger seat, with a man by their side. Their car is parked next to your car, actually, but you still manage to drive away your red banger without her seeing you.

So does it mean anything, then, after having such a dream that you see this person's real car the next day - a white mini of the new variety - or at least what you think to be this person's car, driving along the road?

Does it mean anything, then, when moments after this sighting you see someone who looks very much like a younger version of this woman that you dreamed about walk past you in a sandwich shop? "Do you have a sister?" goes the question, "No" comes the reply. But you were not the one who asked the question, it was one of the shop assistants.

So does this mean anything?

Yeah, I didn't think so either but I've got to write summat here as it's been ages ain't it?

PS The cream Mini Cooper had number plates beginning with YE05 and was spotted driving in Holmfirth, today, at lunchtime. Or was I daydreaming... ?

Married Man Syndrome

Married Man Syndrome?

Is this an impressive, intelligent article about our much-maligned Married Man?

Does it contain easy-to-say, but hard-to-do wisdom for women and men alike?

Is it food for thought?

Answers on a postcard, please!

PS Yes, I have been busy! Aint you?
