We’re well-into the Summer Holidays (well, as a full-time salesperson, there’s no such thing for me!), and there’s some ground to cover, as we jump back into the Meerkat Muse! This one is out of sync with the bi-weekly idea, but there’s a good reason for that, which will become apparent later. We kick off […]
Welcome back ‘kats, to the latest edition of your favourite show, the Meerkat Muse! We kick things off with a topic that’s been in the news a lot… The Platinum Jubilee On the 2nd of June, Queen Elizabeth II marked her Platinum Jubilee, celebrating 70 years as the UK’s monarch. Her reign officially began on […]
May the Fourth be with you! Yes, it’s Star Wars day, and it just so happens to be a Muse day! Poetic! Memory Fails I am growing increasingly convinced my mind is not what it was. Is it a consequence of covid? Is it a misfiring synapse in my brain? I’m not talking major memory […]
Freedom of speech is an important and sometimes delicate thing. I’m a big believer in it, though I also believe freedom of speech does not grant freedom from the consequences of that speech. If someone chooses to be a misogynistic, racist, bigoted troll, they have to accept the repercussions of that choice. A lot of […]
I thought I’d try something a little different – videos from VR land!
That’s it, that’s the post. The power is in your hands! Two options for a tattoo. A? Or… pic.twitter.com/BSzWGUrr1Q — Ben Berwick (@BenBerwickGB) November 26, 2021
Prompted by Peckapalooza, hello! It’s a simple word and a straight-forward expression of greeting. It can also convey so much more. My first words to my new-born baby girl were ‘hello, I’m your daddy’. I spoke them through tears of joy and a quavering, emotional voice. That was a hello that felt a lifetime in […]
Paul has done it again. He’s quizzing us, possibly with a view to gathering so much personal data that he will steal and consume multiple identities. Eventually he’ll become too powerful to contain! For now though, I will surrender to his will. His will this time centres around the number five. Five is the atomic […]
Despite making it abundantly clear to a certain evangelical that their comments would no longer be permitted, said evangelical has failed to take the hint and has left comments on a regular basis. They fall straight into the moderation queue and then get binned, because frankly, they are not worth the time to dissect. However, […]
I wonder how many times in online history that the demand upon someone to stop posting or commenting on any given subject has actually worked? For starters, the comment I left on YouTube was on a Star Trek video – the comments did get political but the original material was on Captain Picard’s best, most […]
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...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting?
