What are you passionate about? If we’re talking casual interests, I can write you a fairly long list. I could go on. Star Trek, Doctor Who, The Lion King, Liverpool Football Club… these are all subjects of great personal interest to me. In most respects, these have been lifelong interests too. I know where my […]
I regularly read The Life and Times of Bruce Gerencser. Bruce has become quite dear to me. His forthright approach to extremist evangelicals is refreshing and entertaining, and his willingness to lay everything bare, despite knowing that said evangelicals will try to pick apart his words, is brave and noble. Recently, he made two posts […]
Today, the Privileges Committee’s report into whether or not Boris Johnson deliberately misled the House of Commons over Partygate finally hit the public domain. Given Johnson had resigned as an MP last week (and fired off an angry letter to the Committee, with various accusations of bias and witch-hunts), it was pretty inevitable that the […]
There is one great truth about this time of year… Pollen. Pollen is everywhere. The Hay-Fever My annual battle with this most unpleasant scourge is now underway. Medication helps, but at a cost. It makes me drowsy. My coffee intake may increase a wee bit. In fact, there’s no denying it, my coffee intake has […]
What public figure do you disagree with the most? Where do I even begin with this?! There are several public figures I cannot stand. The arrogant and hypocritical Piers Morgan comes to mind as a candidate, but the two that truly stand out for me are: And… Both men embody ‘qualities’ that should be anathema […]
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/may/28/covid-inquiry-boris-johnson-blunders-looking-grim-for-tories The spectre of the bungling and cold-hearted idiot that is Boris Johnson doesn’t seem to want to leave the political arena, despite never being suited for public office. Johnson has a history of deceit and incompetence, but due to his bumbling nature, he was able to charm those less-equipped to see through his charade, […]
I’ve seen people go to extraordinary lengths to defend the private ownership of public services. Well, what do they say to this? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-65626241 BBC News Bills could rise after water suppliers in England said they were ready to spend £10bn on tackling sewage spills. The privately owned companies have apologised for the amount of contaminated […]
We’re back! What’s been goin’ on over the last couple of weeks? It’s Local Election Day! On the 4th of May, voters in the UK took to the polls in local elections. These don’t usually have a seismic impact on the political landscape, but they can be an opportunity for the people to send a […]
Today, voters in the UK took to the polls in local elections. These don’t usually have a seismic impact on the political landscape, but they can be an opportunity for the people to send a message to the political establishment. 8,000 council seats were up for grabs; who would emerge in a good place from […]
With May, we have arrived at a busy month. It is a month that will be filled with pomp and ceremony (for better or worse). Some people aren’t too upset by the extra days off that accompany said ceremony! The Coronation Whilst King Charles III officially became king at the moment of the Queen’s passing, […]
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...
This meerkat gets nervous about a lot of things. In an upcoming Prompt, I’ll talk about tardiness, and that sort of overlaps with this. Picture the scene. It’s a busy London station, and you’ve just bundled off the Tube, and up to the main concourse. You vaguely know when your train is, but you’re in […]
