Frequent And Good

Questions. I was a questioner at school. There’s always one, isn’t there? That child at the back who refuses to believe anything is how it is and just keeps putting his hand up, infuriating the other children and driving the teacher round the bend. But here’s the thing, I want to know why Africa broke aways from wherever it broke away from—Geography was a bad lesson for questioning—and I want to know why Canadian Grizzly Bears are dense and furry, More

Failure Of The Finale

Put your hand up if you love Canada! My mind’s eye sees a hell of a lot of hands! Yes, as well as giving us terrifying bears, gorgeous women—it should be known that Canada has bequeathed some of the world’s most beautiful women, oh yes—and the greatest contact sport on ice, Ice Hockey no less, Canada is also the home of famed TV series Regenesis: a series following a group of elite scientists who tackle the things that–well–the More

A chance Meeting

We’re all so busy making money, worrying about who’s making more money, or getting a better job, sometimes we forget that all it takes is a simple thing to make us feel that much better. Something unexpected.

The other day I helped an old lady across the street. I had the common cold—a variation somewhat harsher, universally known as Man-Flu—so the lady was actually helping me across the street as much as I was helping her, but that’s not really More

A Town Called Eureka: could you handle it?

The mere mention of this very bizarre TV show sends a shiver down my spine: Eureka, a secret town populated wholly—yes, I did indeed say wholly—by geniuses. It seems I’m not the only one to feel like this.

Yes, the concept behind Eureka is truly too terrifying to think about for most mere mortals. (Unless you’re not a mere mortal and extremely clever, of course, or a friend of Stephen Hawking or Stephen Fry, in which case you’ll More

Perspective

We turn on the news and get depressed - the economy may or may not be out of recession, MPs have been claiming for this, that and I daresay “the other”, Dave and Gordon have been having a row in parliament, though neither has actually told us anything we don’t already know, taxes will be going up to pay for the banker’s bonuses, there’s been crowd trouble at a football match.

In the last two weeks though the news has More

I Got The Little Sucker!

I don’t know why it is, but in our house we seem to go through vacuum cleaners like there is no tomorrow. I have actually lost count of just how many different ones have come and gone over the years! They only seem to last for a ridiculously short time before giving up the ghost. If it isn’t the hose that splits then it will be the roller that breaks on the bottom. Either that, or a ludicrously-designed weak piece More

My Atari 2600.

When I was a kid my mum and dad bought me an Atari 2600 games console for Christmas. At the time it was the most exciting present I’d ever had. There were only a couple of my friends who were lucky enough to have one and I felt like one of the privileged few!

You always used to get a free game with the Atari called ‘Combat’. This was a one or two player battle with tanks and bi-planes. The More

Madcap place

Hi Everyone, welcome to the mad house. Please Please Please do not feel bad if it makes no sense. Here you are though the looking glass, spooky eh. Well maybe not. Maybe it’s just my rantings. May or maybe I’m Jesus back from the dead?

No I’m not I just though I would add a little mystery to my blog. It’s not just a silly person writing rubbish it’s the new Nostradamus that all you guys where too dumb to catch!!
