A primitive society?
I haven’t written about the recent American gun shooting. Or even the Chinese knifing. Although I have read plenty of views on both. I did read one article that pointed out that every time there is yet...

You are what you eat
A short and pithy post. Honestly! Would you believe that from me? Horse meat in lasagna. I confess, I couldn’t resist writing about it. I see four issues here: 1) Hypocrisy. OK to eat cows, pigs,...

Crufts – nice doggies and all that
Primp. Preen. Parade. People and Pups (so cute to call dogs pups) run around the ring indistinguishably, hair and fur floating elegantly in the breeze. Unless they are a Mexican Hairless, or a Hairless...

Some Saturday thoughts on blogging
Another gem from WordPress. If you write a long post, you need to tag it as a long post. Not with the obvious word ‘long’ of course. You now have to tag your post using WPLongform. What is a long post,...

You are what you eat – GMO

The right to free speech or the right to freely offend and insult?

Real men eat quiche ?

How to fall out
What better to do with a million things on the ‘to do’ list than write a blog post to avoid doing what I should be doing? Writing about comments over on Kev’s stuff, I was minded to think about issues...

Do I really care who is King of Spain?
No. But it seems we have to live with monarchies, or presidents. And presidents are pretty dire, it has to be said. Monarchies may cost the tax-payer money, but who would really want the endless round...

Hunting (shooting and fishing)
The Ark pointed me towards a rather unpleasant blog post that linked hunting, women and vegetarianism. Sneaky, he knew I would have a view. And I did. In fact he pointed all his readers towards it as...

Right, said Fred, these vegetarians have to go

Legal drugs
In this case, ibuprofen. Nurofen. Ibuprofen is an NSAID, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. In other words a painkiller, and one of the weaker NSAIDs, so, at low doses, it carries the risk of fewer...
