Welcome to The Perrorist Files. Here you will find an eclectic assortment of articles and links to provide amusement and/or provoke thought.
The Perrorist Files site was developed back when social media had yet to appear on the scene and I was keen to share articles and websites that I found interesting with like-minded people.
Unfortunately, the site has dated more rapidly than I expected and is in need of substantial redevelopment. I also find I'm using Facebook more and more for sharing what tickles my fancy.
I have decided, therefore, to discontinue updating this site. At some stage in the future I shall redesign and resurrect it with a different agenda.
I hope you have enjoyed what I've served up, and that you will return when the new site is ready.
Thank you.
