6 Comments(I am often asked my opinion on this subject, so I am republishing this from August 2021...) This comes up again and again in the comments' sections of my posts, so I thought I would record my position on this formally and for the record, and then I can just link to it if ever […]

33 CommentsThe big story currently sweeping the cyber saloons which most of us frequent, regards a new grovelling plea, from former Branch Covidians, for an "amnesty" regarding their hideous, horrifying, and largely non-human behaviour during "the pandemic". The general thrust of their argument is, "yes, okay, we DID behave hideously, horrifyingly, and non-humanly, but we didn't […]

6 Comments... Of course, this is mainly because it's the same people pulling the strings and writing the scripts now, as it was 100 years ago, and - much like the seasoned soap opera scribes they are - they keep recycling the same plots...

14 CommentsThe title of this piece refers to one of my favourite '90s films, starring those then-ubiquitous celluloid staples, Brendan Fraser and Alicia Silverstone, who play "Adam and Eve", a spectacularly mismatched couple who ultimately find love. Why mismatched? Well, Eve is a hip and modern LA gal, whereas Adam is a very sheltered - literally […]

23 CommentsThe below was originally published in May 2021, I republish it today, October 7th, 2022, in response to this story currently saturating the headlines.... Like most of us, one of the very first rabbit holes I fell down in the process of "awakening" was the very strange case of Madeleine McCann, world's most famous missing child […]

10 CommentsMy express hope and desire is, "nothing", other than a day of ridiculous inconvenience, as nobody can do any shopping, enjoy any leisure, or, apparently, even ride their bike. However, I don't think one needs to be a crazy conspiracrank (though it always helps) to suggest that something else might be on the cards. I […]

9 CommentsFollowing a couple of "oh dear, it's the end of civilisation" events earlier this month, I suppose it was only thematic to discover yesterday that a man has been wielding an extremely large knife (more like a sword) around the centre of ordinarily sleepy Huddersfield in the middle of the day, whilst the local paper […]
