Welcome back one and all to the greatest show on earth, the Meerkat Muse! Not that we’re bragging or anything… Let us begin by picking up with the events of two weeks ago. The King King Charles has cancer, which is something I would not wish upon my worst enemy. At any age, and no […]
What is your favorite place to go in your city? I don’t really know the answer to this one. Assuming that I cannot say ‘home’ (though home is my absolutely favourite place!), and because whilst I enjoy my job, I will never think of the showroom as a ‘favourite’ place, I need a place that […]
Have I written about gambling before? It doesn’t appear so, so here we go! Gambling is not something I have ever been particularly interested in (unless you count the occasional lottery ticket), as I do not consider myself particularly lucky. The exception to this rule would be the bingo that we won on holiday last […]
Are you a hopeless romantic? Is Valentine’s Day an overly commercialised holiday, taking advantage of people? Is it a day devoted to that most chaotic of emotions, love? Is it bawdy? Is it sickly? Is it somewhere in-between? In my house, Valentine’s Day is not wildly celebrated, save for the offerings of cards, chocolates, maybe […]
Today, this meerkat is in Malta, and is being chased by a Golfu! Malta has many mysterious, legendary creatures in its history, and they all might have made for an intriguing post, but I decided to go with the Golfu. The Golfu is an owl, but an owl with a difference. It is said that […]
In the wake of Donald Trump’s recent statement regarding NATO and payments, I dare say the question is a fair one. The other day, Trump suggested that aggressors could do whatever they wanted to NATO nations that hadn’t paid their dues. This will naturally be taken as tremendously enabling to the likes of Putin, and […]
It’s been a minute since I’ve written about mythical creatures, so I thought I’d continue my alphabetical voyage, which takes us to Laos. Laos is home to tales of the mighty and fierce Nāga. Nāgas are usually depicted as half human, half serpent beings, though the word Nāga means snake in in Sanskrit, which may […]
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for? I have a funny feeling I’ve answered this before, but I might as well answer it now, seeing as the opportunity is there. The cop-out answer would be more wishes, or more genies, but there’s a clever answer, should you wish to exploit the […]
Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Let’s start out with something controversial… Brewing a Storm in a Teacup https://x.com/USAinUK/status/1750136728034169147?s=20 The gist of the Twitter link is the outrageous notion that the Colonies have suggested: microwaving tea! Now, I am not against reheating tea in the microwave, but I won’t brew a cuppa via the microwave! […]
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 […]
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? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
