Anyone who follows this site will know that I am generally left-leaning when it comes to societal/political matters. I am in favour of gay marriage and I abhor discriminatory and bigoted behaviour. I have no patience for creationists and their pseudoscience. I find myself more drawn to left-wing political parties (such as Labour) than I […]
I’ve agonised a few times as to whether I should write this particular article. It’s something that first popped onto my radar a few years ago, when I came across a deeply flawed review of the sci-fi series Firefly, which suggested the show condoned a lot of anti-women behaviour, and even implied the show’s producer […]
I picked up a copy of The Daily Mail today. I don’t usually do that, but they’re giving away free Lego, so I picked that up for my daughter. As I flicked through the pages, idly glancing at the articles, I couldn’t help but come across an article (well, several in fact) that annoyed me. […]
Firstly, congratulations to to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their daughter! She looked adorable, all wrapped up in her little blanket, and I wish her and her family all the best for the future! Now for the meat of this post… In a few days Britain goes to the polls […]
I am currently in the process of making some substantial additions to my Creationism page on the main site. The updates specifically tackle the attempt by pro-creationism debaters to make the discussions about the origins of life, rather than how life has evolved and developed. It might seem like the two discussions are identical. Whilst […]
People arrested for feeding the homeless… yup, you read that correctly, arrested for showing kindness and generosity to those in need. To quote the page directly: Fort Lauderdale police charged three men — including two pastors and a 90-year-old man — for feeding the homeless in public on Sunday, the first such cases made by […]
So, just now, as I’m scrolling through Facebook, I come across an article from the Mirror that reported the Twitter user ‘@sweepyface’ (who was involved in a Sky News story about harassment of the McCanns) has been found dead at a hotel. This comes just days after her impromptu appearance on Sky News. So, once […]
So, this morning, having been watching the news (perhaps not the best thing for me to do), I saw a story about trolls on Twitter harassing the parents of Madeline McCann. Not being one to always know when to keep my mouth shut, I jumped in to offer my own opinion. The conversation that followed […]
Common sense prevails over jingonistic sentiment and Scotland remains part of the Union. Good – together we are stronger than we ever could be apart!
Right, just added a new article to the main site – about Creationism. Nuff said.
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 […]
