Bemused and Birthdays
I had assumed that on my release this blog would somehow wither. After all, release meant the end of the story…..
What I now find is that my stats have tripled. Even a guy with an ego the size of mine finds that distinctly bemusing.
It is a tiny blow to my ego, then, to realise that the post which has the largest number of all time hits is one written by The Editor – whose birthday it is today.
The centre of my world, the unseen rock upon which this blog was built and anchored, The Editor has laboured on a daily basis to see that my mutterings reached the blogosphere. Through thick and thin, personal; stresses and strains, she has been the driving force.
Today is her birthday, A Significant Unnamed Number. Go on, take a sec to wish her the best 
Ben Gunn is \”one of Britain\’s best known
prisoners…he constantly questions authority and exposes the futility
of the system\” The Times. Pleading guilty to the murder of a friend when
he was 14 years old, Ben has since renounced violence and consistently
fought for the recognition of the inherent dignity of all human beings.
As a result of speaking truth to power, Ben has served far longer than
the recommended 10 years, leading Education Secretary Michael Gove to
argue that Ben \”has been punished excessively for a crime committed as a
child\”, and Lord Ramsbotham to state that \”It is expensive and
unnecessary to keep Ben Gunn in prison\”.
