RaM is born.

I have thought for years that I should start a blog (and one or two of my friends have often tried to nudge me in that direction). Finally, now is the time; the random thoughts and occasional strange occurrences that I am subjected to require, nay demand, an outlet; and I guess this is as good a place as any.
I am an average person, leading an average life; but even the most average among us has interesting stories to tell.
I originally thought I could set up a web site to which people could send in strange, amusing and sometimes embarrassing stories that have happened to them; I would modify them slightly to protect the author from ridicule and regret so they could remain anonymous. Each story would start off with the phrase “My name is Anonymous and this is my story” but not being too internet hosting savvy, I thought it might be too much trouble, and I was afraid, if I opened a site up to the masses I’d get some unfavourable responses and that some of the stories I received would be less than palatable for me to even read let alone post.
So I’ve decided to keep it simple and just stick to this blog to house my own ramblings and the occasional second-hand story that I think is worth telling. I will endeavour whenever possible to get permission to post the second-hand accounts and will obfuscate the names of the individuals in my blog. Not all of the ramblings here will be true stories and not all of them will be humourous, but hopefully all will entertain or simply leave you with a thought or two to ponder.

Welcome to my Ramblings and Miscellany.
