Wanna read the only piece of poetry I have ever written in my entire life?
Years ago I had a friend who was a bit of a goth, so I knocked this up for her:
He walks as evil through the night In nightmare climes ‘neath shadowed skies; [...]

Why Iran is different
If I had a quid for every time I’d heard someone accuse the US and UK of “hypocrisy” because we have nukes yet oppose Iran having them I would be blogging on a diamond encrusted solid platinum keyboard. From the Maldives, whilst being fellated by supermodels.
The things that gets my goat about that argument [...]
Yeah, why
If I wasn’t a durn furriner I might be tempted to ask my Congress Critter. However, as I am, and I don’t have one, I will just repost this instead.
It seems to me that funding for the Polywell Fusion Project being run by EMC2 Fusion has stalled. So [...]
Worship
Well, I didn’t need the video. I already had faith.
Physics for Poets
You know we come in two sorts. We are either attempting to comprehend the true nature of reality or we’re melting ice in a bucket. Some of us are poets. And some are merely prose stylists.
Now, I was taught Solar System Dynamics* by Carl Murray at QMC and Professor Murray is a “Physics for [...]
Towelhead Mentalist Of The Day
This guy is utterly nucking futz. His take on history is three stops from Dagenham. He is, in short, a loon. And quite what he’s up to fiddling with his tea towel is beyond me…
I know that’s a jokey intro… But the vid is actually pretty hardcore and not for the sort of people [...]
Disproportionate Response!
So there’s a basketball game and it ends up with a score of 100-0.
And a coach gets fired for it.
Which coach?
Oddly enough not the coach of the team that was mauled.
I have played basketball and 100-0 is shocking. The coach of the losing team should have done the decent thing and quietly ended it [...]
Hell’s Teeth!
A woman in LA has given birth to octuplets. I thought that only happened on The Simpsons.
Bringing them up is gonna be one hell of a job. I saw an interview with the last parents of octuplets - a couple from Texas. I say couple but the fella said nowt. I suspect the power [...]
I am, are you?
I scored 5.98 on “right” and 6.47 on “libertarian” which places me firmly in the “Right Social Libertarian” camp. To be honest I actually thought I would come out as more socially liberal but the quiz does state that on social matters it is pretty much aimed at Americans. For example the one question on [...]
Cruel And Unusual
Haven’t the poor sods in Gaza suffered enough without this?
A few points…
Cat Stevens became Yusuf Islam donkey’s years ago. So why is he still always referred to as “Yusuf Islam, formerly Cat Stevens”. Not that I ever rated his off-key caterwauling anyway.
The new recording of the song ‘The day the world gets round’, [...]
Pearls of Wisdom
I will offer a choice, not an echo.
Senator Barrie Goldwater
Anyone want to quote this to Call me Dave?
Kylie
Kylie Minogue’s advertisement for lingerie firm Agent Provocateur, in which she rides a mechanical bull, has been voted the best cinema commercial of all time.
Ya reckon… I have previously posted this and then removed it because the Aussie thought I was obsessed with the Melbourne poppit. Well, fuck it! I am. She’s well fit. Here [...]
Cash
If you don’t own at least American IV then for shame…
At least.
You think Bob Dylan did it for you… Think again. In my lifetime America has had two Gods. Cash is one of them. Eastwood is the other.
Believe it or not that was a date-movie for me.
That is America. That is my America. [...]
