Pungent Musings: November 2006
http://observation-point.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 25, 2006. I once entered a side street shop in a Norfolk town, stalactites of peeling paint hanging from its façade like a leper playing chance with Newton. Garish ill-matching blinds peered out from seared windows. Masses of filled jars and ephemera beckoned me in through doors that would ensnare the unwary in its beaded hangings and invoke tinnitus with a chorus of mezzo forte wind chiming. ‘Hobgoblin’s Garden’ I think it was called. 8220;Hi, is there anything I can help you with?

War does not determine who is right - only who is left. I mis...

Pungent Musings: Running on Empty
http://observation-point.blogspot.com/2013/11/running-on-empty.html
Thursday, November 07, 2013. Swansea City fans have over the prevailing years been mass immunised against the twin viruses of disappointment and frustration. We seldom hit the deck coughing droplets of expletive reaction. That is our way. This doesn’t mean that we don’t carry old internal scars that inflame and wish to burst, Alien-like, from our heaving chest cavities. The Four Horsemen of the Laconic? 2 The Dressing Room. Is there a possibility that the coaching team can no longer motivate the camp?

Pungent Musings: Hidden Town
http://observation-point.blogspot.com/2011/04/hidden-town.html
Monday, April 04, 2011. I recently took a bike ride exploring areas of Port Talbot; largely off the beaten and corroded tracks of a tearful town dying on its gangrenous feet. I wanted to visit the dark areas where the population at large avoid as if they were part of an exclusion zone around a spent Soviet atomic plant. I traversed narrow back alleys, where sagging brickwork and burnt garage doors held each other up earnestly over discarded sofas and TV sets that were once considered luxury items. This t...
