The Chronicles of a Steel City Man

  • NO ROOM AT THE TROUGH !!!

    A VERY APT FOLLOW ON ARTICLE from my previous RED BOX post, AFFORDABLE HOUSING……. It now seems that the policies of this fascist Tory led coalition excuse for a government are beginning to bite where it hurts…right at the heart of the most vulnerable in society. It appears that if you live in the borough…

  • Yet another day in A&E !!!

    Just when I thought it safe to take off my boots and relax … The call came from mum for help with dad….He had collapsed in the bathroom, could we come down. So Chris and I dropped everything and rushed round to dad’s place. It didn’t look good when we arrived, Dad was unconscious and…

  • OLYMPIC MANIA

Do you want someone tracking all the websites…

  • Where’s the REAL Alexei gone ??

    ANOTHER test post to see if the ‘RED BOX’ has been opened so I can drop notes in …..I mentioned briefly on Twitter about how disappointed I was with Question Time on the Beeb Thia last week…..I looked down the guest list and, other than the odd capitalist (Tory) and a Government minister (Tory) and a…

  • When you wish upon a star…

    JUST another test post to iron out a few kinks in the aesthetics of this blog. Tha fact that I’m a technophobe of the first order, means that I have to see with my own eyes that the technology I employ, all be it a very low level, is actually working…. WHEN YOU WISH UPON A…
