One of the good things about blogging is that you don’t have to cover everything the way a newspaper does. Indeed sometimes someone else does it so much better than you ever could that any attempt to try yourself would be a total waste of pixels. This is such a time. David, my hat is [...]

Dr Fox wields the axe.
Britain could be forced to “borrow” American warplanes for its new aircraft carriers as the Armed Forces’ core capabilities are eroded by budget cuts.
That means lease them. So I’m a bit vague as to the saving here exactly. It’s more that we’ll have to do something to save the embarrassment of having the ultimate floating [...]
Wookey Hole
Now I thought that was just a polite way of explaining how Han Solo relieved sexual tension on those long, long flights when Leia had the painters in.
I was wrong.
A witch at Wookey Hole caves is facing disciplinary action after her boss spotted her on X Factor when she was supposed to be [...]
Chuckles yet again!
Prince of Wales to tour the country to promote ’sustainable living’
The Prince of Wales is to embark on a tour of the country to meet the guerrilla gardeners [?], ethical fashion designers [whatever!] and eco-conscious pensioners [Jesus sodding-well wept] doing their bit to tackle climate change [or the peasantry as they used to be known].
“Doing [...]
Strange Days
What the hell is iDave playing at in resurrecting the career of Alan Milburn?
What the flying feckulence is a “social mobility czar” anyway?
And David Blunkett? The only man to ever leave politics to spend more time with someone else’s family.
And it was reported last night that former Cabinet minister David Blunkett could also [...]
Taliban
Yasmin Alibhai-Brown writes this in the Daily Mail…
… and I agree with it!
Time to head for the hills with a technical and a shot-gun and phone that Mormon fellow I used to know on the subject of canned goods! Actually best not do that - he’d only say, “Told you so!”. Just ram-raid Tesco [...]
White Liberal Racism
I’m a blogger. That means I’m an opinionated so and so with a computer.
But I can’t annotate this. If you read one thing this week, read this. It’s majestic.
H/T Peter Risdon.
Chuckles yet again!
The Prince of Wales has accused climate change sceptics of using ‘pseudo science’ and ‘intimidation’ to stop the world from addressing catastrophic global warming.
He likened the failure to combat rising temperatures across the world to playing “Russian Roulette with the future of our children”.
But instead of acting, the Prince said more and more people are [...]
Positively Romantic
I guess it breaks the ice on a blind date to have something in common.
That’s a really bad idea. You see if you end up getting jiggy then the two of you won’t be the only ones. There shall be a whole orifice microbe party going on and exchanging genes.
Then of course there [...]
This will not work.
It starts well.
Gaza’s misery does not make Israel safer. Peace is impossible until the blockade is lifted and people can regain their dignity.
Agreed. The question is who is making Gazans miserable? Is it their neighbours or is it the Islamist gang who have ceased control of the place and are using it essentially as a [...]
Holy Fellatio Batman!
Abstract
Oral sex is widely used in human foreplay, but rarely documented in other animals. Fellatio has been recorded in bonobos Pan paniscus, but even then functions largely as play behaviour among juvenile males. The short-nosed fruit bat Cynopterus sphinx exhibits resource defence polygyny and one sexually active male often roosts with groups of females in [...]
How Cool is Hitler?
It was a question that left NHS staff gasping in disbelief: the survey wanted to know how “cool” they would rate Adolf Hitler, on a scale of one to five.
“Cool” is not a word usually associated with the Nazi dictator who plunged the world into a war that cost tens of millions of lives. To [...]
You’re only making it harder for yourselves!
The Catholic Church seems to have picked up a trick from a recent convert. Just like the Labour Party nothing is ever their fault…
The Pope’s right-hand man has blamed homosexuals for the clerical abuse scandals in the Roman Catholic Church, while denying any connection between paedophilia and priestly celibacy.
Speaking on a visit to Chile, [...]
Fantasy Politics
The IEA reckons we need to cut spending by £167 billion minimum. And our beloved parties are discussing £12 billion.
There are rooms large enough to comfortably accomodate pachyderms. They tend to be found in zoos. But you’d need all of Pelennor Fields to hold Sauron’s horde of rampaging olliphaunts. Alas we have a bunch [...]
