Thank you for reading my blog
I am the father of Autistic Spectrum daughter. She has profound autism and is non verbal. She almost certainly inherited this condition. I have no time for alternate diagnosis or theories
What is QPR is Queen's Parks Rangers FC (Association football club)
Why is the blog called Liar and a Dreamer?
It was something I was called by a beautiful blonde. I liked it so, I kept it
Why should I trust a blog, written by a liar?
Maybe you should not? You should be careful on the internet.
Why are you called Malchera? Is that your name? What does it mean?
No, it was a character in a book, my father was reading when I was very young. I don't recall the name of the the book alas. I have some notion, it means dog like. Maybe hairy or furry like a dog. If you google Malchera, you get a lot of slavic language answers. I wonder if the name was from a Western, a Polish or Czech character had, taken an Irish name.
Why don't you just use your real name?
I might complain about work. I might, post something which has historical and thus political interest. I might be talking about someone one else. If I use my real name, and complain about a co worker, or mope over a girl. Than that might look more personal than I intend. If it was read six months afterward, and I have cooled down and moved on. Also, there are unpleasant people on the internet.
I think we would rather all not engage with. This is particularly important now ( 2013) As I live in South America. Actually my wife received weird hate mail
I lived in Peru from 2012 to 2018. I lived in Lima, I sadly did not go to Cusco. I have never see Machuu Piche -I am not Peruvian. The Mother of my daughter is
What is QPR is Queen's Parks Rangers FC (Association football club)
This is the nearest football club to my residence. I have supported them for most of my life. I enjoy going to matches.
I have been since 2000 increasingly getting into Rugby. I enjoy Rugby League and Union matches
I would say I am a London Irish fan.
I have watched Dr Who since I was a boy. It may be my earliest memory outside of my family

Update : Doxing happens and I have a vulnerable daughter
http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4868/3642/1600/seal.gif Why did you choose this design?
It is from a website.
Do you remember what website?
No wish I did. Its the wolf/dog from Malchera, howling at the moon. It has`` Liar and a dreamer written in Irish''. Ungrammatically
Update, yes I do, its from here
www.says-it.com
Did you think of any other names for your site?
Yep, ``Crazy like a fox'
Why didn't you choose that?
I thought they may have done, and I am glad in retrospect Crazy like a Fox, I use to copywrite my youtube videos. Just as a bit of fun
What about Sleeping under the Cross, what is that?
http://sleepingunderthecross.blogspot.com/ Its an alternate history set in South America
Can you explain it more?
An alternate history, is a historical novel or essay set, in a universe, where events happened differently. So most famously Hitler wins World War 2, or the Confederate states triumph, in the American civil war.
In Sleeping under the Cross. The Irish don't lose at the Battle of Kinsale in 1601.
Gaelic Ireland wins its last battle, but still the war. However the result is there is a much larger war across the Isles, as the Gaels rise against the two Crowns. ( England and Scotland) Backed by Spanish dollars. The result is that the Gaels still lose, and are driven into exile. This time, it is not a few chiefs, and their retainers, it is an army. Think the Wild Geese leaving after the Siege of Limerick, and then a flood of their families, Faced with the continual ire of the English and Scots, the Irish are quietly settled in South America. Specifically Argentina, the port of Buenos Aires. From there, I continue the story.
Sounds interesting!
Yes, I get a lot of polite responses. Which is what you will get if you start writing . I wanted to see, if the Irish could create a modern state, away from the British . What would it be like? Would they do better? How would they deal with black slavery? With the Reformation? with freedom of the press? What would the Irish be like without the British?
I have since used the site to record interesting information on Irish History. I occasionally post other AH there. I use it as a site for my ESL students
Do you still work in ``Hades'' ?
Yes I do. I work underground in a national Library's storage facility. I thought it was an interesting analogy, but it fell out of use. ( I had to travel quite deep underground- I did not see the sunlight and a lot of people I worked with were sick or elderly or odd)
Update:
No, I have not since, November 2012, I have moved to South America, to get married and raise a family. Thus I no longer work in Hades. Its almost impossible that I will return.
Have you ever started to smoke again?
No, as of 23/2/2011
Not since I became a Dad- I have life insurance and I don't want to mess with that . I began this blog as a project to keep my mind off smoking- If you are fishing the deepest depths of this blog you will see I mention smoking a lot- I am a non smoker now
Can I comment on your blog?
Yes please do

Update- I have since returned to the Northern Hemisphere, I tried to get my job back. They declined. I got another - Just as aside. An ex supervisor seems to have had a grudge against me. I don't know if this is true. I just mentioned this because of him- I had to look for another job I ended up spending a wonderful summer working in a park with pretty young women- in walking distance from my home
I don't believe in karma-or everything happens for a reason but I think there is a lesson there
