Take a Transit Minibus, a full-sized roof-rack loaded with camping equipment, 14 passengers, plus a driver armed with road maps of Europe, Asia and Africa and you have a phenomenon that was to be a character-forming and life-changing experience for a generation of travellers. That phenomenon was "overland". For the first time, young people had an affordable way to travel in the relative safety of a group to what, for many, had previously been inaccessible, and possibly dangerous, places. Overland brought together larger-than-life characters, involved some epic journeys and created unforgettable memories. The late 60s and early 70s was a period of Woodstock, peace, love and flower power - and a feeling of freedom was in the air. The fruits of the post-war baby boom were discovering and celebrating this new-found freedom and the time was ripe for this travel phenomenon to take off.This is a story of how a broken relationship and the urge to break out led the author, in his early twenties and raised on an Essex council estate in the 50s/60s, to take his first trip abroad as a passenger on an overland trip to Morocco in September 1969, (he admits to being so naïve at the time that he thought Morocco was somewhere in the South of France), encountering an individual who happened to be a master at concocting a cock-and-bull story which eventually landed him a job as an overland driver.He suddenly found himself inducted into the University of Life, spending the next four years on a hectic, challenging and adventurous journey across three continents, travelling extensively through Europe, Asia, India and Africa; watching the sunrise over Mount Everest, driving overnight through winter blizzards in the Anatolian mountains of Eastern Turkey and waking in the Sahara just before dawn in a complete sound vacuum. Along the way, he met some amazing, interesting and colourful characters and made lifelong friendships - and went ten-pin bowling with the Prince of Afghanistan!

The arguments of this essay cover three broadly related topics. The first is concerned with ontological thinking as it has evolved over the last 900 years under the pressure of scientific and technological development.This historical sketch provides the background and context for a re-examination, in the second part, of the nature of conceptual thinking, intuition, the role of heuristic modelling, the function of language, and the fallibility of the human mind, and, in the third, of the interiority of human experience, subjectivity, self-awareness, personal identity, jeopardy, autonomy, and freedom.By re-analyzing these concepts, we can hope to create better maps of the complex inter-dependencies between the structures of conceptual thinking and the experience of an inner life that determine the human condition.

A survivor's account of what working in the fashion/clothing industry is really like.

Written by Molly Kingsley, Arabella Skinner and Ben Kingsley, executive members of the campaigning organisation UsForThem, this book forensically exposes how UK Ministers and senior government officials were repeatedly able to make poor quality policy decisions during the pandemic period with only limited scrutiny and too often with catastrophic consequences for the lives of millions. The authors have meticulously evidenced how ethics, good governance, truth, integrity and transparency were grossly compromised during the pandemic period, and how these factors and a deficit of accountability created the conditions for what fast became an economic, social, medical, ethical and child safeguarding disaster. Danny Kruger MP provides a powerfully candid afterword.

These three playlets are not meant as serious drama. They are designed to be performed at charitable events as a fund-raising medium. While each is self-contained, they form an ongoing narrative and with a little ingenuity could perhaps, if required, be amalgamated as a single performance.Traditionally, however, the evening should consist of a three-course meal (as simple as you like) plus coffee, the courses to be served after each act in turn. Tables should be set for a maximum of six diners each, who will form teams competing to suggest a solution to the mystery. Prizes should be offered for successful detection.The first playlet, The Garnermoor Inheritance, requires very little technical provision; the other two are slightly more demanding, but should not be beyond the capability of an amateur group.Provided that the script is followed reasonably closely, the director has absolute discretion as to how the playlets are presented.Go for it!

"THE TRUE STORY OF THE MOUNTAIN GIRL.""Was this craziness? Was I really leaving my country, my family and friends, my house that I had built with my bare hands from the ground up, or was it just a test of my ability? 'Wake up, woman,' the voice resounded in my head."From a traumatic childhood in Albania, growing up under the strict communist regime, this intensely inspiring true story is one of bravery and perseverance. It's a tale of danger, trafficking, violence and escape, but also about finding the inner strength to survive and thrive in building a new life in England.

Gordon Deighton looks back on a career or three and around half a century - a Great War, the Revolution in those 'Swinging Sixties' (menswear, theatre, films, sex, rock 'n' roll, drugs ) and Supper - Cabaret's last gasp at the Ritz Hotel in the 80s. As witness and participant, "Doin' What Comes Naturally", in a most colourful and passionate period in history, there was a quality of life there for the asking. Today, the passion is technology, computers, internet, Facebook, texts and tweets. Back in the 18th Century, the French philosopher Jean Jacques Rousseau questioned the costs of progress. Now, everything is moving at a far greater pace with our' Celebrity Culture' and inflated incomes but is the quality of life suffering greatly? In 2012, Mark Pagel, the world's leading expert on human development, wrote in his "Wired for Culture" ... "As our societies become even more connected and globalized it will become increasingly easy for most of us not to innovate at all, to become lazy and docile, at least in matters of inventiveness".

There is absolutely no doubt that the final nail in Boris's coffin was his mishandling of the "Pincher Affair". This episode led to all sorts of upheaval; including two changes of Prime Minister, a loss of standing in the world for G.B. inc. and repercussions that affected everyone's life in this country. I believe that this Grey-Haired Old Brummie may well have had some input, indirectly, into this chain of events. His continual bombardment of e-mails to Pincher over recent years with their outspoken opinions on local and green issues, housing and politics in general may well have tipped him over the edge, leading to his ill-judged behaviour in a London club...... and from that point onwards many other totally unexpected consequences started to evolve.The book is a series of e-mails sent by the grey-haired old Brummie to various peoples and their responses (or lack of responses). The most significant of the recipients were his local newspaper and his local M.P. Christopher Pincher; the M.P. whose indiscretions led to the resignation of the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson.

This is a comic and fictitious tale, set in the 1970s, of a failing and depleted pub team playing in a low level league run by a football administration that takes itself far too seriously. With only four players left, Pork and Mutton FC decide to seek redemption by carrying on for another season in Division 2 of the Restaurants and Business Houses League (North), but need a new sponsor, players and a manager. Their recruitment search leads to tensions between themselves and the league administrators not dissimilar to a cold war, given the pub is in West Shields and the league HQ in East Shields.Sunday morning football provides the humble background for a range of characters and their exaggerated, often ridiculous, at times absurd, but always hilarious, storylines to enter and develop the narrative over an eventful thirty game season. It has always been a 'funny old game' especially at its non-elite margins, buried deep below an increasingly serious soccer pyramid, and the book tries to capture this vital essence.The main character is Simon Washington, a white collar council employee, who largely takes over running the team alongside the new sponsor Max Mortimer, an enterprising funeral director, and his Goth-like son Doug, as well as long suffering pub landlord Fred. While the few original players make up the backbone of the team, with one, Roger Chamberlain getting himself into a number of fraught situations, significant others enter as new playing recruits or part of the opposition. Chief amongst the first are Owen Bigalow, builder by day and Roy Orbison impersonator by night, who keeps goal while being also obsessed with the number 0 and the letter O, along with the disloyal Jonathan Cruft and his faithful dog Eusebio providing scandal and betrayal. The Tripolini brothers, triplets working in their mother's Italian deli, make a case for the defence while up front Aussie Ever Reddy is better able to hold on to his place in the team than onto his hairpiece. There are dodgy referees and even dodgier club sponsors, such as the shady Chinese businessman, and spot the ball and pools winner, Mr Wu. Greeks, Germans, and Poles make more than just a fleeting footballing entrance, alongside miners, lawyers, chefs (whether commie or commis) and catering students, populating some of the teams that they face. Even a dishevelled football scout and a lonely giant of a man carrying two buckets (named Faith and Hope) help in this search for collective redemption.It is intended as a humorous and wistful ballad of sorts where its leading colourful players are simply caught up in the magic, love and poetry of actively participating in a sport, not of kings, but of the everyman. At a time, and a level, where there were no such specific terms as false nines since all positions were equally fallacious residing largely in the imaginations rather than the abilities of its participants, when reality could still be trumped by dreams, and the game in its playing made fantasy footballers out of all of us.It is a journey where people learn about themselves as well as others with twists, turns and surprises along the way. There are revelations aplenty, especially in the climactic final chapter. The message of the book is positive and uplifting so that even within this humble world, and crummy league, humans not only stumble and err but also rise and continue to dream. While the team's adventures and playing are often a tour de farce rather than a tour de force 'the beautiful game' always somehow delivers, including providing a sense of belonging and identity.
