The second of the big ‘superheroes in conflict’ films has landed, hot on the heels of Batman vs Superman – is the MCU’s take on the controversial comic storyline a good film? It’s certainly (in this meerkat’s humble opinion) the most serious installment so far. If you asked me to sum up Civil War in […]
Later on today I will have to face one of the year’s most terrifying events – Eurovision. Someone please help me!
Barcelona is the setting for a Spanish Grand Prix that takes place against a backdrop of intrigue. Can Hamilton eat into Rosberg’s commanding lead? Can Ferrari get closer to Mercedes? Perhaps most interesting of all, how will Verstappen fare after his rather abrupt promotion to Red Bull, and how will Kvyat cope after his demotion […]
She’s just hopped onto my lap. I am pinned down people!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-36277940 As a father, this story caught my eye. Going on holiday during term time has always been a source of friction between parents and educational authorities, and some of it could be diffused with the application of some basic common sense. 1.

So, what does this meerkat have in the pipeline? Well, I want to get around to making another video for the site. It’s been ages since the last one, and I want to properly explore the medium, to see if it can draw attention to the site (yes, I’m blatantly seeking attention). I want to […]
Right now my little meerkat brain is like a ball – it keeps rolling around, unable to settle on any single idea – at least until I read more on the stance taken toward transgender individuals by certain portions of the radfem movement.

This post started life as a comment to the Theology Archeology site, regarding TA’s latest post, this time about faith healing. I had hoped that they would be prepared to enter into a discussion about it, but they declined to publish my comment. This is their prerogative – it’s their site. Edit: TA has now […]
Well, sort of. Yesterday was the first barbecue of 2016, accompanied by gorgeous weather, my daughter’s paddling pool, the garden furniture and a cold beer. The occasion was ripe for meat cooked over the flame – except the bloody thing wouldn’t burn properly! I think the firelighters were too dry – I’m not sure but […]
At this time of year, almost without fail, my right eye weeps. It starts almost as soon as I wake up and carries on for much of the morning. Wish it would stop!
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.

Ever since I was a cub, I have generally speaking been fond of swimming. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I enjoy it. I consider myself a reasonably confident swimmer, and I have few qualms about going out into the sea when at the beach (well, when I’m somewhere warm, with clear […]
