Recently, Citizen Tom of , err, Citizen Tom, put a question out there, in the comments of this post. For some extra context, it may be worth reading this comment from one ‘Ark’, and it may also be worth reading the comments left by Barabbas as well. Tom suggested I look at the questions posed […]
I will make an apology at the start of this post. There are many blogs I follow, that I enjoy reading, and I couldn’t possibly showcase them all. I am also a forgetful sod, so it may be that in the heat of the moment, I have overlooked someone I fully intended to brag about. […]
There are a number of possible scenarios here, and the site itself suggests looking at how we respond to disasters, but I want to take a more nuanced view. I want to look at how our behaviour changes, in accordance with who we are with, and where we are with them. As a broad example, […]
Recently, the fundie that I have had the misfortune of sparring with more than once posted an attack on the idea of rights. Over the past few decades, there have been groups of people demanding their rights. They came to the knowledge that they have rights because many countries, not just America, provide rights in […]
There are numerous stereotypes out there. Assumptions and ignorance about groups of people continue to run riot through our society, even now, in 2023. It’s absurd, it’s a joke, but it is also reality for millions of people, around the world. If you check out the WordPress tag on homophobia, then you’ll see that the […]
Wealdstone had found themselves in the unusual territory of 8th place in League Two, at the halfway point of the 21/22 season, despite being a newly promoted club. With very limited resources, we had pulled off some great results, and moved well clear of the expected relegation dogfight. Instead, we were loitering near the playoff […]
Oh this will be good. There are many things I can moan and lament about, but I will pick something that’s recently been relevant to me. Having recently endured a second bout of covid, I remain incredibly annoyed that a microscopic virus can be so debilitating to a being as advanced as a human. Somehow, […]
The 20/21 season could not have gone better for Wealdstone. We had won the Vanarama National League at a canter, and booked our place in the Football League for the first time in the club’s long history. For 21/22, League Two football awaited, with numerous challenges. The players seemed to believe staying up was a […]
Well, firstly, I’m gonna switch this to ‘Prime Minister Campaign’, on the grounds of being from Britain, but I’m sure the general gist will be similar. Regular readers of this blog (or the Coalition of the Brave site) will be quite aware of my outspoken views on politics, and will have quite-rightly identified me as […]
Hmm. What can I set up for my ‘kat followers to sink their teeth into? Pineapple on pizza? Metric or imperial? Lager or ale? Is it called football or soccer? The tricky part is in setting up any form of debate that isn’t opinion-based. If I were to suggest ‘Star Trek vs Star Wars’, well, […]
In the not so distant future, I will have been blogging at Meerkat Musings for TEN years. That's sort of scary. I never set out to reach a milestone like that, but ten years on, Meerkat Musings feels like my home-on-the-web, so to speak. #BloggingCommunity
Now, this I find difficult. Of those I have tried, which admittedly is not many, I am rather fond of McDonald's fries, though Burger King's have grown on me.
Do you vote in political elections? You can bet your ass that I vote! Ever since I was a young meerkat, I have regarded exercising my right to vote as an important civic duty. I always vote in general elections, and try to vote in local elections too. I can understand why some people abstain, […]
