Disorderly Jottings

Occasional, and occasionally far too frequent, thoughts from a fellow with wide-ranging tastes and  humanitarian opinions (often based on fact and wide reading but sometimes on simple prejudice and refusal to allow anything to get in the way of the storytelling) but without any great intention to influence. The aim is to keep a record of my own thoughts and bring some areas of life to a wider (though hopefully not too extensive) readership; to try to keep my own mind sharp and to amuse and entertain anyone else who happens across the blog.
