Pathetic Fallacy

It's great weather, the blossom is bursting out and it's just about the best time to be most places, especially Britain.

So where am I off to tomorrow? Alice Springs in the centre of Australia. Accepting the invitation to speak at the conference there, seemed a good idea at the time. Wish it was raining here now!

Unique Names

I started this blog off, using the Sobriquet 'Blog Bloke'.

I was asked by the "original Blog Bloke" to not use that name, as he apparently has it "trade marked".

OK. I've happily changed my monicker; no sweat ...BUT is there a point in restricting unique usage? I mean, we all have our given names, registered at birth ...but we are rarely the sole user of that name. I'm happy to be enlightened!

Spike Milligan

I vaguely remember watching a Spike Milligan series on UK TV show in the late 60s or early 70s, where every now and then, there would be a fake commercial for 'Snibbo'. Whatever, the problem, Snibbo could solve it. Anyone out there know what I'm talking about?
