Happy New Year!

As the title says really, Happy New Year! A little premature I realise but knowing the flaws of technology, the internet is sure to crash as soon as the clock hits midnight across the world tonight. Not only that, but writing to you now gives me a perfect excuse to do not write my essay...but shush! Don't tell anyone. Well, what a year 2011 has been - not just for me personally but for the world! I saw a program last week about the natural disasters of the past year and you have to agree, there Continue reading [...]

October Rain

Afternoon everyone. How're you all doing? A post really just for the sake of it today, and because I'm bored. The title: inspired by the Guns n' Roses song November Rain, but because it's October naturally I changed it. But it is raining though, and has been all weekend - pretty miserable really.

I've been working my way through his vast catalogue of hits and performances, Continue reading [...]

Families eh?!

So it's gone. Instead, I thought I'd replace it with a nice jolly post about my family outing today. Feel free to switch off...now. So, here I was. Seven o'clock this morning being rudely awaken by the unmistakable sound of my mum pottering and rushing around, making sandwiches and flasks of tea and coffee Continue reading [...]

Hi there September.

Afternoon everyone! I've changed the name of the blog (yet again) to something a bit more plain and simple. "I am Clarke Roberts" comes as a quote from my mum in a recent conversation we had. As some of you reading this may know I've been not been brilliant recently and during a pep talk, she simply said to me: "You are Clarke Roberts, and you are fantastic" - I am Clarke Roberts. Simple, but yet it speaks volumes. Everything I write on here is me, be it about religion, philosophy, politics or more Continue reading [...]
