Je Suis Paris

Je Suis Paris

Only people that have never experienced online friendships think they aren't real. They are certainly different from conventional friendships but only in the sense that the communication platforms used are different. A lot more written communication in the form of IM's, emails etc and a lot of less verbal communication and occasionally face-to-face communication via [...]

Take a Seat and Pick Up a Book

Take a Seat and Pick Up a Book

It's Roald Dahl's birthday today - he would have been 100 years old and on the radio this morning they were discussing favourite parts of Roald Dahl books. Just a couple of weeks after Willy Wonka was in the news after the sad death of Gene Wilder it had me thinking about the film. I [...]
