An end of year early mediaeval history test
It is the end of the year - and in time-honoured fashion, it seemed good to me to produce a test. Being a bear of little brain and imagination, I felt the need to steal someone else's - which means…
Q’s finger on the pulse – a female US president
Noted small entry in today's paper: US gets a female president in TV Show 24. You will have read here back in February of my surmise about David Palmer in 24 being a stalking horse for Barack Obama - well…
around and about – few London snaps
the current front of Selfridges - i just liked the colours! we took the kids to the Blue Peter Prom at the Albert Hall - all quite jolly. but quite surreal to see Bruce floating above it yesterday. i know…
it would be nice if he actually visited… the disappointments of worshipping a duke
Picked up from this week's Private Eye. I'd heard about this before, (it is even worthy of its own Wiki entry) but only now come across an actual interview with the main main - in the New Zealand Herald's report…
evidence, facts and conclusions – Ha Ha!
quite droll - but who are you trying to kid that scientists NEVER start with their conclusions...? Eg the new Fundamentalist Atheists perhaps??? on a similar note, check out this cartoon from WellingtonGrey.net all quite jolly, isn't it?! Funny how…
the New New Atheism – another riposte
While one might have a few quibbles about the depiction of God in the Wall Street Journal (left) but the riposte to the new breed of militant (and lucrative prolific) atheists is all quite jolly and worth a read. Peter…

contempt is nothing new – Bunyan’s atheist
As a staff, we've all been reading Bunyan's epic, Pilgrim's Progress. Lots of things jumped out at me and will perhaps appear here in due course. But one small theme is that of the atheist objections to the very foundations…
Passchendaele: hellish on earth? it looks even worse now…
People are quick to describe it as hell on earth - i suspect it is safer to describe it as hellish. But there is no doubting the horror of war - and for the generations who lived through it, the…
out of the mud, yet another verification… what else is new/true?
this is mind-blowing and pretty exciting - honest! The Times & Telegraph picked this up this week, but i've only got it from the EAUK's Friday Night Theology - and this is an ancient receipt. Yes a commercial receipt -…
as the actor said to the preacher…
Gary Oldman is one of the best actors around - always full of surprises, always dominating screens and scenes, never dull. So i hugely enjoyed the interview with him in this month's EMPIRE mag. But one response jumped off the…
the ache of listlessness – graphic poetry
these have blown me away - i hardly know anything about w.c.pelon - only what he says on his home page. but these pictures/poems/cartoons/whatever have a soul. They convey a listlessness, a grief, a curiosity about life - and very…
