Paul Griffin

People have always told me I should be a Comic Writer. So I thought I would give it a go. It's all very easy to make the suggestion, but a different thing actually doing it. You need something to be funny about. Fortunately being of a certain age I have a lot of experiences and people I have known to draw on for material. Some of it is hilarious, and some of it interesting and some just baffling. My normal work involves music production/composition and more lately making music videos, so writing is something of a new venture for me. Hopefully successful but certainly a lot of fun.....................

And They Say Smoking Is Bad For You?

Apparently smoking can take ten years off your life expectancy-luckily this is the horrible end bit. So instead of being a decrepit demented ninety year old with no future and hardly any memories of the past either, you will already be dead and gone.

It's a hard one isn't it? not really. The amount of NO2 (Nitrogen Dioxide) we now have in the atmosphere from traffic fumes will kill all of us long before the smoking- and if not, the Russians are modernising their Nuclear Weapons Arsenal, North Korea is controlled by a barking mad despot determined to launch a Nuclear Missile at somebody, well anybody handy and the USA will probably at some point elect an equally barking mad President willing to shoot back. Then of course China not wanting to feel left out will join the party......

Factor in the insane weather conditions caused by climate change, rising sea levels, the ever increasing strange viral infections all over the place and the view amongst some that it's only the grace of God holding things together, and he's getting extremely fed up with us and might pull the plug at any time, not to mention all the other hideous possible scenarios facing us, and you might as well sit down, light a nice cigarette, open a beer and kiss your backside goodbye anyway.

Well that was a bit negative you are thinking, so am I. Have hope folks, in the end that's all there is left, and the truth about cigarettes is they do screw you health! I know your Uncle Joe lived until he was a hundred and he smoked forty a day but he also spent sixty of those years a wheezing pasty faced miserable physical wreck, who only managed his last gasp with the help of a nurse pressing on his chest!
