Editors note. The Armed Man is a Mass by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins,
subtitled "A Mass for Peace". The piece was commissioned by the Royal
Armouries Museum for the Millennium celebrations, to mark the museum's
move from London to Leeds, (which my son and his friend coincidentally)
visited late October and it was dedicated to victims of the Kosovo crisis.

Memorial to the two
Australian air men.

In this publication you may find the odd!!!!
Spolling misstock, typing error or where you
find the grammar is not quite as it should be.
That is due to a condition l have called
dyspraxia similar to dyslexia, people with this
tend to spell phonetically and sometimes l
miss the last letters of words due sometimes
to the speed my brain (yes l do have one) is
working basically it means “I am playing all
the right notes but not necessarily in the right
order” to quote Eric Morecambe. If my
malapropisms amuse you that’s fine by me
we all need a laugh. The word comes from
Mrs Malaprop a character in Sheridan's play
The Rivals who misuses words in this way.

"Small business all like
muscles if you don’t use

them you lose them".
