Flat Earthers P4b

Time to continue with the dissection of Hesedyahu’s Flat Earth post (though another way of looking at this is that Hesedyahu opposed the notion of what he considers blindly accepting a spherical earth). My first look at his arguments can be found here. Now, by “first principles,” I’m not using that in a technical sense. […]

Trusting vs not Trusting

In an earlier post about the Flat Earth idea, I mentioned that it’s entirely right to ask questions. Asking questions is how we learn. It’s how we discover. Asking questions is what has propelled the human race forward. As we answer questions, we discover new questions. It’s a fascinating, never-ending cycle. Of course, questions are […]

Flat Earthers P4

It’s been a while since I’ve sunk my teeth into the Flat Earth subject, but I stumbled upon a lengthy post about it here, and thought I would offer a few thoughts, a few questions, and a look at the response of the author (Hesedyahu) to a couple of queries. Before I do so, I […]

Football Manager P23 – Leeds Year 2, Part 1

I’d reached the top of the English game after eight years in management. I’d guided Leeds United to the 27/28 Premier League title and the FA Cup as well. The odds of winning the league had been 50-1. It was fair to say this was by far my best achievement of my career so far. […]

DuckTales – The Final Adventure

I’ve loved the DuckTales reboot. The 2017 series, starring (among others) David Tennant as Scrooge, Kate Micucci as Webby (who is easily the most brilliant character in the show) and Catherine Tate as Magica, the 2017 DuckTales honoured the original series (including one or two great references to reboots) whilst ensuring it was its own, […]

Football Manager P22: ZOMG!

We’d reached the lofty heights of third in the Premier League at the halfway point of the 27/28 season. We’d just drawn 3-3 away to Man Utd at Old Trafford in a pulsating game. Now it was time for the 3rd round of the FA Cup – at home to Chelsea. Chelsea had hit a […]

Football Manager P21

It was time to ready Leeds for the 27/28 season. I was resigned to losing Santos, who had been such a star for my side in my time with the club so far. Liverpool had come in with a £66 million offer, which was hard to resist. In anticipation of losing Santos, I poached Rhian […]

The Meerkat Muse – 10/03/21

We’re almost at the middle of March. What’s been happening ‘kats? We’ve had a spell of unseasonably warm weather, especially at the end of February. On the 26th of Feb I ventured to town to collect some stuff, and I walked home without my coat on, for I was sweltering. Granted, the weather dipped somewhat […]

Meghan & Harry

In the wake of ‘that’ high-profile interview with Oprah, I thought I’d do what so many have already done and add my two cents to the discussion of Harry and Meghan. I’m quite comfortable in saying I’m more inclined to support Meghan and Harry than the Royal Family at large. I have a number of […]
