At the end of time, billions of people were scattered on a great plain before God’s throne. Most shrank back from the brilliant light before them. But some groups near the throne talked heatedly. Not with crying shame, but with belligerence.
“Can God judge us? What can he know about suffering?” snapped a pert young brunette. [...]
So take a bunch of marketing boys down the pub and give them a crate of beer with the remit to come up with a load of silly words for things that happen around the office and then call the BBC and tell some naive reporter that the English language is mutating and bob’s your [...]
The headline in the Sunday Times this weekend read “Britain’s elite get pills to survive bird flu”. The first thing that occurred to me was why was it that nobody seems the slightest bit upset by this news, i.e. the blatant disregard for the safety of the ordinary citizens of this country while the elite [...]
During my last skiing trip to Switzerland I was spending a contemplative moment in the guest’s lounge admiring the beautiful view of the mountains when I happened to notice the prints on the walls. As is so very common in hotels throughout the world they were prints of traditional English hunting scenes, a little faded [...]
It seems that Prince Harry’s appearance at a fancy dress party in a Nazi Africa Corps uniform is causing quite a furore in the press and all over the internet. While ludicrous accusations of racism within the Royal Family abound I see it as little more that a little bit of punk from a rebellious [...]
Being a Harley rider I am naturally an appalling bike snob. Fine, if race-replicas are your thing then that’s cool. If you are on a budget then I guess its got to be a little 125, that’s cool too. However, why would an affluent urban man be seen in public on one of these? Says [...]
WASHINGTON (AP) - A government scientist finishing a candy bar on her way into a subway station where eating is prohibited was arrested, handcuffed and detained for three hours by transit police.
Stephanie Willett said she was eating a PayDay bar on an escalator descending into a station July 16 when an officer warned her [...]
You know another reason why I haven’t been posting so much in my blog is that I often post my thoughts about the world politic, social issues and things along those lines. Now however it seems futile as the world has descended into an insane pit of lies, propaganda and corruption. Where would you start? [...]
Well the New Year is barely under way and we are already thrown head-long into the old chestnut of the freedom of speech vs. incitement to racial hatred debate by none other than that vapid day-time debate pundit Kilroy-Silk. Its all been said before so I won’t bother entering this debate myself, its all just [...]
I have read somewhere on the internet that Peter Jackson, having completed his seminal Return of the King (LOTR) is about to embark on a remake of King Kong. I really can’t imagine a worse waste of time for this talented director as we already have two versions floating around of this rather infantile tale [...]
I was in the changing-rooms of my local sports-club last night when a bulletin came one the television with a report on details of the Soham trial of Huntley and Carr for the murder of two children, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman. The news broadcaster was showing computer graphics showing the last route taken by [...]
It seems that the Parisian snobs are upset that the mayors of France have elected a day-time TV chat-show host to be the current face of “Marianne” :
“It is the difference between France as it ought to be in the minds of a purist elite - and France as it actually is.
And as anyone [...]
