The Humbling of Anthony
by Duncan ini didn’t really care for anthony very much.
at the time of this story he was 13 or 14 years old, a clever and precocious kid down the hall.
he was extremely zealous about the truth and took it, and himself, very seriously.

UK Election Breaking News: Ringo Won the Bingo
by Duncan inwell, i stayed up half the night watching the results come in.. helpfully, the bbc website had published an election party pack, with fun and games to keep the jaded viewers interested.
one of the games was election night bingo.. you know the kind of thing: four bingo cards with studio-pundit type phrases on them, to keep you alert and check them off as they were used.
"keys to number ten" "portillo moment" "three-way marginal" and so on and so on.. couldn't get anyone else in the house interested in playing.

growing up in the sixties in england, for people of my age and nationality, there were maybe two great events in that decade that stand out as truly unforgettable .
winning the world cup in 1966 was one, and the apollo moon landing was the other.
