We are rolling into autumn, the heat of summer is now but a memory, and the nights are getting longer. September has been a tiring month on this green and pleasant isle, and now it draws to an end. Remembering Greatness This is my Grandfather, Ben Berwick. I was named after him. In this photo, […]
The other day, Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng introduced tax cuts that will disproportionately benefit those who are already extremely well off. Given Mr Kwarteng’s background in hedge funds (see Odey Asset Management), is it any wonder that he would take measures to help out his rich mates? I can only assume that Mr Kwarteng, like PM […]
On the course of my web travels, I stumbled upon a post by one Verziehenone, who runs a site called The Lion’s Share. It is quite risky for a meerkat to associate with a lion (would a meerkat be nothing more than a snack to the King of the Jungle?), though I know of a […]
Inspired by this post from Lolsy, comes an interesting (and definitely not suitable for work!) take on words with dual meanings!
Recently, the Christian fundamentalist posted about forgiveness. I can’t help but wonder if he is seeking absolution for his sins, by expecting to be forgiven by those he wronged, even if he has done nothing to earn it. It’s true that forgiving someone for a misdeed can be hard. Sometimes, it is cathartic to forgive. […]
Our world is fragile, and human activities are threatening the survival not only of ourselves, but every living thing. We have a responsibility to the generations to come, and to ourselves, to make sure we preserve this unique world. My inspiration for this post comes from a project I’ve gotten involved in. It’s nothing too […]
Following on from this post (which can also be found at the Coalition of the Brave), it would seem that the fundie has wailed some more at Jill’s original writings. Deceitful to the last, what does the fundie have to say? His post is titled ‘How Christian of You’, and that leads us into his […]
The following is the fundie’s mangling of English… 4. atheists, humanists, pagans, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Catholics, Buddhists, indigenous people, LGBTQ people, Democrats, liberals, socialists, or any of the other people they consigned to Hell in this life This is a mistake as it leaves out a keyword. That keyword is ‘former’. There will be atheists, […]
Further to Jill Dennison’s excellent post regarding the importance of separating Church and State, a certain Christian fundamentalist responded. Did they provide anything coherent, logical, or fact-based? Their text shall be in purple, and Jill’s in blue. The content is full of flawed logic and faulty arguments. It is only the whine of an unbeliever […]
The last few days have highlighted a stark contrast in British society. Amidst the pomp and pageantry, and solemn displays of remembrance, comes the inescapable fact that the divide between the haves and have nots has never been greater. There is an image going around, of a display stand showing a message of remembrance of […]
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...
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 […]
