I want to break free`, is of course, a song by Queen and expresses what many people desire and crave. So many feel `trapped` today and for all sorts of reasons and long to be `free`.

Last week I watched numerous TV documentaries and films on the 75th anniversary of the Jews being liberated from Nazi concentration camps. I have been moved and humbled by what I have seen. The Holocaust is one of the most disgraceful acts of evil known to man but watching some of the `moving` servi...

I recently went to see the movie `1917` which is based on a true story about two British soldiers who received seemingly impossible orders.

A couple of years ago Debs and I went to see ABBA MANIA which is a tribute act to the famous pop group. It was a great spectacle especially as everyone sang along to ABBA`s popular songs from Angel Eyes to Waterloo. Even I found myself singing along to those jolly lyrics even waving my arms in the a...
