The Savage Mind

3 hours ago by Farzana Versey

We pause to remember with pride all those who have fallen fighting in freedom’s cause. The freedom of their families and neighbours. The freedom of their nations an ...

Peak oil?

1 day ago by CountingCats

This isn’t open to question, there being, of course, a consensus. So, what is thi ...

L'ufologie pour les nuls.

2 days ago by Beb'R

From the Stasi to whatever is under The Edge’s hat.

3 days ago by NickM

Fans hoping to catch a glimpse of U2’s free concert celebrating 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall will have - in the words of one of the band’s biggest hits - to “scale these city walls”, after organisers threw up a massive barrier to block the view for those without tickets. Plus ça change ...

Toilet Humour

3 days ago by NickM

Well, the power was off this afternoon because United Utilities were pissing about with the line. Again. And without telling us. Again. Well, I reached for the TV remote only to be dissapointed - I always do that. You easily forget how much we take the ‘tricity for granted, don’t we? Memo to Greenie ...

Back to the grind…

4 days ago by Martin Heeley

Well, lessons recommenced this week, after the nice leisurely “vacances de Toussaint”. Monday is one of my favourite days for lessons, as I have one lecture at 10am. It is nice and leisurely. My only complaint, is that it is very biased towards France. Below are a few issues that have arisen during ...

Gaia wants the very shirt off your back…

4 days ago by NickM

An environmental watchdog (surely une charité fausse) wants us to rent rather than buy household items including clothes and shoes. Barking mad and totally impracticable for all manner of reasons I shall not go into mainly because more and more keep occurring to me and I’ve got to burn leaves and ju ...
