A short while back I had an interesting discussion with one ‘Darthbards’ over on Big Footy. This discussion related to the idea that the earth is in fact, flat. Needless to say, this idea is sketchy, at best. The trouble is, after going around in circles for ages, there comes a point where it becomes […]
I wish I didn’t have to write this, but the more time I spend looking at threads like this one (I refer to the Flat Earth nonsense I’ve discussed before), this one (vaccines are all big pharma conspiracies dude!) and all sorts of hastily generalised rubbish like this, the more I feel the need to […]
It’s 2017. Despite some very obvious attempts to return to tired policies of old (I’m looking specifically at you Donald Trump, and casting a few glances at your chum Vladimir Putin too), we are in fact not living in the 1950s, so the bigoted mindsets of back then should have faded to nothing by now. […]
Here’s the thing. Great Britain, the country I call home, has endured a lot down the years. Near-daily bombings in World War II. Decades of IRA bombs during the Troubles. We aren’t going to ‘bend the knee’ to terrorism now.
On several occasions now, I have sparred with David Tee of Theology Archaeology. This occasion concerns an attack on science – and this is not the first time we have crossed swords on this issue. David has made several statements concerning his disdain for ‘secular science’, and it should come as no surprise that he […]

These conversion ‘therapies’ clearly do harm. They are motivated by bigotry.
Let’s preface this post by saying that it might be a good idea to read this article from Rae of Bookmark Chronicles, and this one from Violet Wisp. Both articles offer an important perspective on the divisive issue of abortion – namely, they offer a female perspective. I have pointed these articles out to those […]

It hasn’t taken long for Donald Trump to start pissing people off. Whether your cause is womens’ rights, climate change, LGBT rights, or whether your cause relates to Islam or Mexico, Trump has been putting the hammer down. It all began with the inauguration. On only his second day, Trump was attacking the media, sending […]
When Michael found an old mirror in his late grandfather's study, he never imagined it would reveal a hidden piece of family history. Trapped in a strange realm, and changed by the mirror's properties, Michael must unravel his grandfather's legacy. #Kindle
Wow Joanne, wearing your cruelty on your sleeve now. Does it make you feel good to use your platform to demean others @jk_rowling? Do you derive satisfaction from the hurt you cause, Joanne?
Like 6, most annoying character! Some might say Navi the fairy from Ocarina of Time, I say Fi from Skyward Sword. Fitting that the most annoying Zelda game features the most annoying character!
Right, like 5. Which game character do I feel most like? I am scatty and neurotic, so probably Earthworm Jim!
It appears Spring has finally sprung! Welcome back to The Meerkat Muse! Tired Times Back at the very end of April, my wife and stepdaughter went to see the band Train in concert, at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Getting there was reasonably straight-forward, but getting back had the potential to be very awkward. […]
