It must be a sign of the interesting times in which we live, but the BBC have moved their ‘flagship’ political debate programme, Question Time, from it’s regular Thursday night 10:30pm (after the news) slot to a prime time, before the news, 9pm slot. I don’t know if this is a permanent change or not [...]

Okay, you need to go and read this article from Friday’s The Sun newspaper in the the UK then come back here and read what I have to say.

Right, read it? And you came back. Good. I’m going to try and not over react to this but I’ll say from the outset that it will [...]
Lo, the Harvest Cometh!

You may (or indeed may not) remember my first post here on the Britwriters blog. It was all about my Allotment and how I was looking forward to the bounty it would bring.
Well, it’s harvest time down at Nobbs’ (mini-)Farm and the wonderfully wet August has meant that while some of my veg has under-performed, [...]
British Romantic Lead? Or an Alpha-Male?

You know, it’s difficult to see myself as a Romance Writer but I guess that’s what I am now. Erotic Romance, admittedly, but Romance nevertheless. Yes, I still write short ‘stroke’ stories such as the Ladz “Local Lovelies” series , and they go down quite well, but there’s no denying that Lost&Found, Charlotte’s Secret and [...]

I’ve had this sent to me the other week by e-mail – I’ll let you read it before I comment.
We are hitting £108.9 a litre in some areas now, soon we will be faced with paying £1.10 a ltr. Philip Hollsworth offered this good idea:
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the ‘don’t buy petrol on [...]

The Brits and the Weather – a match made in heaven
Posted in Britain, Marc Nobbs, People of Britain, Society, life, tagged Britian, carol kirkwood, Marc Nobbs, sun, weather on June 9, 2008 | 11 Comments »
We Brits have a strange relationship with the weather. Some would even call it intimate. We are obsessed by it. It occupies our thoughts daily. The weather forecasts on TV are among the most watched of programmes. When we have nothing to talk about, we talk about the weather. When we do have something to [...]
Marc Nobbs – Who’s he?
Posted in Marc Nobbs, writing on June 3, 2008 | 6 Comments »
The name’s Nobbs—Marc Nobbs. Double Oh zero, licensed to Smut.
Okay, that’s the embarrassing, but essential, James Bond impersonation out of my system. Yes, being a red-blooded British male, I was disappointed when they announced Daniel Craig as the new Bond because deep down I knew it should have been me. But, like all other British [...]

Apparently it’s all Jamie Oliver’s fault, but 2007 and 2008 have seen a rise in the number of people on the waiting lists for allotments—those little plots of land in the middle of our towns and cities that are set aside for even the most blue collar of blue collar workers to get back to [...]
