Like all bus drivers, taxi drivers and barbers I've got an opinion on everything and I'm not averse to shoving that opinion down the throats of anyone who's silly enough to venture in my direction.
So - now you're here - you've obviously got nothing better to do so you can check out my expert opinion on just about everything that’s ever happened in the world if you like, simply by clicking on a title to the bottom right of the sidebar menu.
If your brain's not in gear, however, you might like to browse through the photo galleries and be amazed at how many daft people there are in the world, or at the awful things we do to each other, or how dangerous it actually is to live on this planet (the galleries are at the top of the menu).
Yes, I know, it's all unbelievably fantastic, isn't it? … particularly as it won't cost you anything, except a bit of your time (which would probably be spent doing something illegal anyway).
If you want to abuse me or to claim copyright on any of the photographs (most of which, unfortunately, were received by me without credit or acknowledgment) then just e-mail me at: gemsim@excite.com and I'll either abuse you back, or adjust the acknowledgment on the photo as required.

I came here to look at your post about the iconic images over recent history. It is a pretty exhaustive documentation, and very well written, too.
Thank you.
