    Hugo’s Ego: The Second Hugo Werther. A man of large learning. And a man curiously given over to his vanities and conceit, these negative qualities so oddly filtered through his eccentric nature, as to render his actions and life most worthy of account on these pages…  Let us, then, peruse the life of this strange…

    The vast gulf of difference that lies between the objective and the subjective is likeable to the difference between a moment in time and infinity- the objective viewpoint is one that has been judged by the standards of everything, whereas the subjective is the viewpoint of one meagre entity who partakes of the great everything…

      The battle has begun, and the rage is strong Men swear and struggle and deny all love. The air is thick, smoky and vile, With a stench of blood and a world gone wrong… No man whispers, all is loud and fierce Hatred pronounced and a thirst for death. The guns declare that all…

    Teacher is so boring My boredom is a pain… I picked my nose so hard My finger drove me insane… Teacher is so boring… But that’s not my only pain: I thought it ’twas a bogey- But in fact it ’twas my brain… (©️ Daniel Macintyre 09/09/2025 protectmywork.com)

    Beef strips aren’t good for the hips- but they’re good for the soul of a dog! They go so fast, they’re not made to last- they’re as good to the mouth as a snog! If I was a pup I’d eat them all up- and probably beg for more! But as I’m a man I’ll…
