As a teenager I aspired to join the British armed forces. In 1973, when I was 16 years old, I went to Royal Air Force Biggin Hill to do what was then called a ‘Test in Advance’. After several days of mental and physical tests I was told that I had the potential to be […]

AT THE END OF THE WEEK
It’s Friday, the end of the week. This evening I’m mostly contemplating philosophy: the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality and existence.
