Life’s Forgotten Absurdities

“The human super power is forgetting. Who knew?” That line is from a “Doctor Who” episode when Clara Oswald was still his companion. It’s a line which means more each and every year. In truth it might turn out to be one of the more pivotal/influential lines ever uttered by…

A Retirement Home for Spooks, Spies and Assets
