This is a sensitive subject. Domestic violence is a scourge of society, arguably responsible for a lot of the violence directed towards women. Yes, domestic violence affects men too, but it affects women more; on average, 30 men are killed due to domestic violence each year in the UK – 102 women lose their lives […]
Following on from pondering the question of why people choose not to believe, or as Mr Roland Earnst puts it, Why do People Choose Atheism, and considering the thoughts of InsanityBytes (who frames her opinions in a thoughtful and considerate manner), I thought I would delve deeper into the subject. One of the issues that […]
For as long as I can remember, from virtually the moment I stepped into the working world, this meerkat has heard the message ‘we will soon be a paperless environment’. I swear each and every time I heard that, there ended up being more paperwork instead. The idea behind a paperless environment is not that […]
The question ‘why do people choose atheism?’ was put forward by Does God Exist Today?, and I thought it may be an interesting post to address. The post, written by one Robert Earnst, offers some interesting material to discuss. I think it is safe to say that some choose atheism because they don’t want to follow […]
I remember a time when I was young… a long, long time ago. That’s not the subject matter here, the subject matter is actually cause for celebration. Well, perhaps. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/tories-labour-age-vote-election_uk_65b96e59e4b01c5c3a3883a8?utm_campaign=share_twitter&ncid=engmodushpmg00000004 The Conservative traditional grip on older voters appears to be slipping as research found only people aged over 70 back the Tories. Pollster YouGov revealed […]

I recently read a post that nearly made me laugh out loud. It described Donald Trump as an American Titan, which is interesting when you consider his legacy of failure. One of the more […]
I was picking up up daughter from school the other month, and it occurred to me that over the course of the day, I paid for a few things, without once exchanging coins or notes. It also occurred to me that this is now virtually the norm in UK society, but is that necessarily a […]
What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? Once upon a time, I would have loved to be a train driver. I never actively pursued this career, and in many ways I am glad I didn’t, for I imagine the reality of it does not fit the romantic view of it in […]
Earlier today, the government floated the notion of conscription, in the wake of growing hostilities between the West and Russia, and the increasingly unstable situation in the Middle East. Conscription is the practice of effectively forcing people to sign up for the armed forces, or to give it its official definition, ‘the state-mandated enlistment of […]
What food would you say is your specialty? Does a peanut butter sandwich count? What about peanut butter on toast? I don’t think I have a ‘signature dish’. I know how to throw things in the oven, or in the frying pan. Sometimes these things even become edible!
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Truth be told, I have zero thoughts on adult colouring books. If someone finds them to be therapeutic, or relaxing, then fair play to them. I am not going to judge one way or the other (least of all considering that I still like to play with my model space ships every now and then!).
