I’m not too far away from being able to upgrade my mobile phone (currently an Huawei P30) to something new. Ordinarily this would mean sticking with my existing network (Vodafone) and looking at what handset best suited my budget and desires. This time is a little different, for I am weighing up a new network […]
Two full seasons, two Premier League titles, plus an FA Cup victory and a Champions League Semi Final. It was fair to say I’d not done too badly in charge of Leeds United, but would this be sustainable? With the club starting to get used to success, the demands upon me would surely increase. Was […]
What is blasphemy? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines blasphemy as ‘the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God‘. In some parts of the world blasphemy laws used to exist but were abolished years ago. In other parts of the world such laws still exist, and I dare say they are used […]
We continue to dissect the arguments put forward that the earth is somehow not a sphere: So what evidence is given to prove that what I stand on is part of a spinning, orbitting, wobbling ball in a great and grand blackness, just one of many flying things? Boats going over the horizon bottom first? […]
Yes my ‘kats, it is time for the Meerkat Muse! So, what have the last two weeks delivered? There is a light at the end of the lockdown tunnel (which I nearly misspelled in a most alarming way), though at the time of writing, we still have a few weeks to go before the showroom […]
Following on from a great start to the 28/29 season, it was now time for FA Cup action against Stoke at home. A rotated team drew 2-2, but I felt it was necessary to rotate to keep the squad fresh. I also pruned the squad when the January transfer window opened – such a move […]
Time to continue with the dissection of Hesedyahu’s Flat Earth post (though another way of looking at this is that Hesedyahu opposed the notion of what he considers blindly accepting a spherical earth). My first look at his arguments can be found here. Now, by “first principles,” I’m not using that in a technical sense. […]
In an earlier post about the Flat Earth idea, I mentioned that it’s entirely right to ask questions. Asking questions is how we learn. It’s how we discover. Asking questions is what has propelled the human race forward. As we answer questions, we discover new questions. It’s a fascinating, never-ending cycle. Of course, questions are […]
It’s been a while since I’ve sunk my teeth into the Flat Earth subject, but I stumbled upon a lengthy post about it here, and thought I would offer a few thoughts, a few questions, and a look at the response of the author (Hesedyahu) to a couple of queries. Before I do so, I […]
I’d reached the top of the English game after eight years in management. I’d guided Leeds United to the 27/28 Premier League title and the FA Cup as well. The odds of winning the league had been 50-1. It was fair to say this was by far my best achievement of my career so far. […]
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...
What’s the most fun way to exercise? I know of a fun way to burn off calories, but I’ll not be sharing the details here! I don’t know if I could call any of the standard means of seeking fitness ‘fun’. I’ve been doing regular sit-ups since the start of April, interspersed with a few […]
