Blog Rendered Pointless By Thread
Read post

Blog 7 has been a little bit quiet this month, as we have found it difficult perhaps to unload about our childhoods. What do we mention, what are we willing to admit to? And then I came across an ILx thread which pretty much renders the whole of Blog[…]

Nun Prays For Divine Retribution Against The Da Vinci Code
Read post

It is unclear what effect a nun praying outside a building containing Tom Hanks will do. Nevertheless it does seem the reasons for her protest are not those which would spur others into action. The nun seemed a bit miffed that the book suggests that […]

Read post

Read post

Great by name…
