    This is where you'll find my incredibly erudite insights into life, board games and stuff. And nothing says erudite more than triple emphasis and the word 'stuff'.

    John Richard Jones Eulogy

    John Richard Jones Eulogy

    I wanted to save this somewhere so that anyone who wants to can read it. I want people to remember my Dad and it was a privilege to write this with the help of my family and then read it at the funeral mass. It was lovely to hear people laughing at my Dad's corny jokes and to share our memories. *** John Richard Jones 23 April 1931 ~ 28 February 2018 Mum and Dad lived in Liverpool during the blitz. While Mum was evacuated Dad’s family stayed together and Dad always proudly to

I've had many, lon

    Word Up! The guide to word games!

    Word games are my favourite but least played games. The double edged sword of an English degree and English teaching for 17 years means that not only will no-one play with me but if they do concede, the expectations are so high that I often just crumble under the pressure. Then win. I'm the person you all look at when they say 'Literature' in the pub quiz or when anyone wants to know what any word means. I don't know what every word is and I haven't read every book. Even writ
