Long range Aquarian for 2013


The Lady Aquarian:
A jumper knitted by a parent or relative blights your weekend attire and wardrobe. Day time TV greatly influences your sex life; however work colleague buys you a subscription to Lady magazine. Increasingly your left hand will not know what the right hand is doing.
New shoes might be the answer to your mumbled prayers on Wednesday. 
For the Aquarian worker a tidy income can be gained by using your expenses claim wisely. A curry with your Scrabble team ends in arrest for one or more of the team.  Your Findus frozen TV Dinner meal collection will bring big rewards on e-bay soon! Look sharp!
A friend of the family hints that you are a fool at at a Silver Wedding celebration. 
Genital warts could blight your Blitz spirit!
A dog will look at you sideways soon; ignore this and move on with your life.
The electronic music of Adele lifts your spirits on Tuesdays as it is a bootleg copy.
Taffeta is your fabric of choice this Easter! A bag of chocolate ants melts when you put them on the dashboard of the car. A finger of fudge is just enough, you find. 
A loved one regales you with inappropriate or illegal underwear however a new Damart catalogue plays a large part in your decision to have chicken for dinner. 
A close friend will ask you to hide some money; but you are tempted to buy new trainers with it as she can't prove you have it. 
A Fox fur stole or Mink coat is left to you in a will.  
A night out with the girls is a pleasant distraction from your yeast infection; but be careful of passing it on to a one night stand or a wash stand. 
A girlfriend uses your lipstick and gives you herpes. 
The music of Genesis greatly boosts your love life.

The Protein Man of Oxford Street- Stanley Owen Green.

I wrote this Obituary piece for The Guardian about Stanley Green while I was an undergraduate at Goldsmiths' College.  I contacted The Guardian and asked them if I could submit it for publication. It was sent off to them and I waited in eager anticipation for their reply. It was published on Wednesday January 26th 1994,   the Editor  made no changes or additions except by adding some photographs (the photographs used here are later additions by me): "A Consuming Passion.... Stanley Owen Green who has died aged aged 78, was that tall thin man with steel-rimmed glasses who marched it seemed for an eternity up and down London's Oxford Street. It was his banner that made him famous, held high above his head and proclaiming "LESS LUST FROM PROTEIN" in large white letters. Underneath the banner he endured the taunts of sticky schoolchildren and the spittle of office workers alike, to bring his unique, indeed puzzling message to the people of London. He later wate...

The Roswell Returns

“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” As those words echoed around Mission Control in Houston a round of spontaneous applause broke out across the site and in the control room. There were yelps and hollers of triumph echoing around the whole of NASA that momentous day in July 1969. In the Command Module Michael Collins was monitoring the vital controls that kept it orbiting the Moon. He flipped the carbon dioxide uptake switch, looked at the battery charge meters, oxygen levels and closely watched the radar screen. He sat back in his flight chair and watched the instrumentation flick and whirr. He daren’t relax, he didn’t relax at all. He paid great attention to the radar screen as he was commanded to. He had to monitor it for spooks, intruders or ghosts. He knew he was looking for Foo Fighters. They did show up on radar, aircrews had confirmed that as fact. It was how fast they appeared and disappeared that threw most pilots. There had been warnings by the ...

At War with the Invisible: The Deadly Miasma

The Reverend Henry Whitehead said a short and mumbled prayer over the body of John James Morters and quickly re-covered his own nose and mouth with a scented hankie. He turned and nodded to the undertakers. They took the shrouded body and half threw it into the waiting cart. They didn’t want to hang around in a cholera house; neither did the Reverend. He had attended a few such deaths recently. He thought there were far too many deaths. He walked out into the stench filled air of Soho’s Broad Street, took a short breath and covered his face again. The undertaker coughed and forcefully spat out a gobbet of phlegm, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and looked at the Reverend, ‘’Pologies Sir. It’ll be the stink what gets ‘em too Sir. Taken a few from round ‘ere.’ ‘I don’t subscribe to the theory of bad air my good man. It may stink but it carries no disease.’ ‘That’s as well as like Sir. But we seen ‘em all off. Usually from places such as this stinking hole.’ ‘Have you had m...
