Hi there!
I write for fun. I write short stories dealing with whatever passes through my head at the time, be it horror, humour or crime. I also write essays dealing with the past.
Although writing purely as a hobby, I will be trying to improve my work as much as this tired old brain of mine will allow, so please don't worry about criticism, I'm a hard nut to offend and welcome justifiable comments.
Oh! Almost forgot! Unless I say differently, take it for granted that I'm in a happy mood.
You die if you're grumpy and you die if you're happy - so why be grumpy?
My all-time favourite radio show was "The Goon Show" which had some memorable, zany characters such as Major Bloodknock, Eccles and Bluebottle.
One of my favourite quotes is from the late Spike Milligan who said when asked about his death "When I die, I will have the following words written on my tombstone - "I told you I was ill!"
Thanks for dropping by and if you have a sense of humour, don't hesitate to befriend me.
Oh yes! I also like using emoticons now and then and because there's so many on the SW site, I've added the link below:

For those who know me, including my cyber friends, I am generally thought of as the mild, pleasant, happy-go-lucky, don't-give-a-damn, little fella who loves to be surrounded by his grandkids (irrespective of age). Having said that, I am now, for once, going into something unfamiliar to me - a rant. 1 Havi
