Hi there,
My name is Joe Morris. I have now written three books the first of which was called Victorian Madness Lyrics, a festival of words, a carnival of expression and a fairground of frivolity. Its bonkers but great fun.
My second book No Joe Bloggs is my memoir, my life journey, a funny, moving and warmly nostalgic account of my childhood, my parents, grandparents, and a book that waxes lyrical about my favourite music, sports, movies, books, comedians and lyrical descriptions of Ilford, Essex where I grew up, London, the East End, West End and the world. I think No Joe Bloggs is both heart-warming, uplifting and life affirming.
In my latest book Joe's Jolly Japes I've given my personal account of the people, places and events that England holds so dear. Joe's Jolly Japes is my nostalgic take on football, England's performances through the years, the victories and defeats, the players and managers, my take on the Chelsea Flower Show, the Henley Regatta, Polo on the playing fields of England, England on a Sunday morning, Alan Bennett and the rich tapestry of life.
I'm an author and married to my lovely wife Bev with two children Sam who's 21 and Rachel who's 19. Writing for me has always been a wonderful distraction, enjoyment and pleasure. I hope you'll like my books and gain as much enjoyment in reading them as I did in writing them.
No Joe Bloggs and Joe's Jolly Japes are still available at Amazon, Waterstones online market place and Barnes and Noble online while Victorian Madness Lyrics is available at FeedaReadcom.
Best wishes
Joe Morris
The whole of the United States of America is getting very excited about the outcome of the great President of the United States. This time it's personal. It's personal, childish, farcical and more incomprehensible by the minute, day, week and month.
Here are the contenders. Hilary Clinton, wife of Bill the ex President and Donald Trump. What a pair of cards they are. It is the most astonishingly tacky, grotesque and wacky spectacle you've ever seen. Neither are flavours of any month and both must be wishing that sooner rather than later this ghastly charade was over. Once and for all. And yet the whole of the Western world and civilisation and the rest of the universe is both fascinated and in the same breath revolted by all of the custard pie throwing and dreadful childishness. What a commotion.
Clinton has thrown insults and slander at Donald. Donald has given Hilary a dose of his own medicine. It all belongs in the circus and the fairground booth and maybe in the boxing ring. Here in Britain we don't much care for such vulgar behaviour. Or so it seems. In Britain we love America because in the United States everybody has an opinion and nobody holds back.
Maybe for the last four months, all we've had to put up with is that relentless name calling, the pathetic taunting and teasing, those gossipy comments and those sniggering cackles Will it ever come to an end?
In Britian we do things rather differently. We exchange awfully aristocratic pleasantries at Mayfair dinner parties, hold endless discussions about the European Union - or Britain's withdrawal from the EU and then wonder whether will England ever be the same again after the savage mugging by Icelaland in Euro 2016. The Engand football team almost became a Punch and Judy show, a pale shadow of itself or just a hilarious caricature. But I believe in the essential goodness and excellence of England and Britain. I love our self mockery, our modesty, our restraint, our politeness, our devotion to duty, our belief that everything will turn out for the best. Our politicians, in some eyes, are just accomplished comedians and clowns, wishy washy speakers and orators. They promise you the world but then give you just a slice of cake. They stand up and sit down in the House of Commons and then just continue as if oblivious of the consequences.
These are my thoughts and reflections but in a sense they're humorous observations. They're my witty asides, my comments. It's October 2016, autumn has now arrived, conkers lie helplessly on the ground and so endeth my sermon. Laugh out Loud. Joe Morris- author of Joe's Jolly Japes, now at Amazon.
