A customary welcome

You've stumbled upon the Thranpages; home of idiosyncratic variety and curiosity.

The personal website may be dead to most, but I'm on a singular mission to bring it back.

A customary caution

Please Note: This website's contents represent only the opinion of its author (and anyone who agrees with him).

All that is new:

Girls and Boys by Blur >> Sat 06 November 2021 [tanl]

This is the opening track from the Parklife album. I believe it is more than a mere dance piece.

The Road by Bilbo Baggins >> Sun 05 September 2021 [tanl]

It is too tempting to rush through the lines of verse in these books. Yet I find even this one provoking.

Through my literary (and televised) travels, I've found a few facial related phrases.

Belfast Transport Snub >> Thu 26 August 2021 [sr]

Railway buildings have been a steady decline since the end of World War II. This has culminated with Belfast's Weaver's Cross (or as I call it, Weaver's Loss). I give an impassioned plea for a remedy.
