Who cheat the most, men or women?
The Axiom of Choice
… One surprising innovation, which rapidly became a widespread and popular leisure activity, was the discovery by GL4’s stargazers of the Virtual Observatory. By logging onto the GL4 observatory, users could surf the myriad of planets and stars catalogued in the globe’s compendious image bank, from the comfort and safety of their laptop. Virtual trips Read more about The Axiom of Choice[…]
Helga’s Huggies
I’d just arrived back from visiting my sister in Germany, a relaxing break to get over a grim marriage. As it turned out it was far from relaxing, but just what I needed. Now I am packing my bags and moving there for good. Yet it might all so easily never have happened. It started Read more about Helga’s Huggies[…]
The Big Bad Wolf
The last ribbon of cloud scudded across the sky as Eleanor stepped out from her neat town cottage and locked the door. She gazed for a moment at the harvest moon now rising over the trees and set off down the narrow road which led off the estate.

Travelling twenty kilometres every second the city sized asteroid takes less than ten seconds to breach our atmosphere and impact the ground. Two billion tons of rock come to a grinding halt, yielding up the energy equivalent of a million nuclear bombs in a maelstrom of heat, radiation and shock waves. A large fraction of Read more about Cosmic Roulette[…]
A Queer Event
A queer event happened near the village of Leising not far from Great Yarmouth, where a team of pipe fitters were working to repair a marsh pump. The work was urgent, high tides being predicted together with a deepening depression centred over the North Sea driving strong onshore winds. They completed their repairs on time, Read more about A Queer Event[…]
Mum’s present
Three things scare me witless. Crowds, shopping, and crowded Christmas shopping. This year was to be different. It was, I’d left it even later. In fact, it turned out Christmas Eve wasn’t crowded at all. Slight panic – maybe the shops were just about to close. Na, they’d just opened. Shops don’t open for just Read more about Mum’s present[…]
