A Note On Creaminess
Read post

Anyone who read my piece on potato soup (wonderful for breakfast too!) will note a liberalness with words relating to cream. Creaminess is a virtue I admire, mainly because cream is a foodstuff I adore. Now admittedly the creaminess of a potato soup […]

Isn’t That The Problem, Not The Solution
Read post

Morgan Freeman (who has never had a love interest in a film) hosts US benefit show Mississisppi Rising. Now lets not get in the realms of PCGM or anything like that, but surely the name of the show, and the assertation that the “Mississsipi wil[…]

Will the Real Rubettes Please Stand Up
Read post

Read post

Don’t ask what I was doing on the Daily Mail website. Actually, do ask. I was sent a link by long term Daily Mail reader Dave Boyle (HELLO GOOGLE!) about the rightful punishment of some football yobbo or other. While there I stumbled across a v[…]

Land Of The Brain Dead
Read post

But it isn’t. What is the most frightening thing about zombies. And that’s George Romero’s zombies, not the fast sort you see in remakes. Is it the shambling incessant nature of their attack. Is it the horror of them ripping the fle[…]

WHO BUILT THE MOON WATCH: Chapter 7
Read post

The Incubator Of Intelligence is the title of Chapter Seven, and it kind of pulls together the previous chapters to show how plate tectonics, a decent climate and tides all happily combined together to create man. Indeed it spends a little bit too mu[…]
