Now, a word from our sponsors - I have just renewed the site fees for the year, so we are here for a while longer.  But they have increased a bit...

So, good news first - I intend my site to remain a free resource, so I'm not going to charge for access.  Nor am I going to use Patrone or anything like that.   But if you do want to support this site, I would say the best way is to buy one of my collected works at Kev Pickering's Books and Publications Spotlight  -new editions are coming.  Also, you will be supporting cancer research - 20% of all sales there goes to McMillain Nurses here in the UK.  If you want to consider other ways of supporting, I can be contacted at mistertallandmistersmall@yahoo.co.uk.

I will be back, God willing around the 7th of April.  Until then, I remain,
