By now the world is aware of what happened the other day in Plymouth. The town, located on Britain’s south coast in the county of Devon, saw a terrible, terrifying act of savagery. Police are still piecing together the details and there is a lot of speculation, but it seems one Jake Davison, disenchanted with […]
After two weeks Meerkovia has won… zero medals. There will be a major inquest into this travesty when the games are over. Heads will roll. Ears will be tweaked. Beds will be left unmade. Someone will pay. But, before this can happen, there’s the little matter of week three, and another chance for Meerkovia’s athletes […]
We are well into August! Somehow, we have arrived at the heart of the British summer, but are we in one piece?! The answer is yes, more or less. The initial experience of the end of July/start of August was one of feeling tired, something I put down to the second covid jab. I didn’t […]
Last time around Meerkovia… epically failed. It wasn’t just a defeat, it was a shattering blow to the nation. The media hounds sharpened their teeth. Sheep bleated ominously. Geese honked their battle cries. Meerkovia was in uproar. Could our athletes do better in week two? WEEK 2 – SPORTS 1. In Grade 6, I was the […]
It is with great pride that I represent the tiny (and fictional) nation of Meerkovia in the Blogger Games. The venue is the beautiful land of the Captain’s Speech, famous for its broccoli smoothies and rocks shaped like goats. For the opening week, Paul, the benevolent dictator of the Captain’s Speech, has set a quiz. […]
Do you know what time it is? Hey y’all! Time is a pertinent subject. The passage of time has been on my mind a lot lately, for a variety of reasons. Going Up On the 15th my daughter finished her time with junior school. From the moment she started nursery to the 15th of July, […]
This isn’t a new take, nor is it a new take for Paul Williams of Blogging Theology, but it just so happens that there is an interesting and ready-made rebuttal of this claim, available for anyone who is an atheist or agnostic. In direct response, please check out Bruce Gerencser’s post on criminal behaviour and […]
Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Climate Change July began with the promise of gloriously hot weather – after the first week or so. Initially July followed the pattern of overcast and gloomy, continuing June’s miserable end. Loitering within the lure of nicer, brighter skies was a potential trap. The much-desired heatwave that summer should […]
It’s been a long time coming, in more ways than one. Black Widow is the solo story of the titular character that’s long overdue. There have been discussions, conversations and meetings, and finally, after all of that, the movie got made, only for the covid-19 pandemic to push it back, again and again. Now, after […]
It’s the 26th of June 1996. On a warm summer’s evening 25 year-old Gareth Southgate, at the time an Aston Villa player, stepped up to take England’s fifth penalty in a semi-final shootout with Germany. The quietly determined defender’s penalty was saved by ‘keeper Andreas Kopke, and Andreas Moller scored the next penalty to send […]
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!).
