Porpoise Vindaloo I’ve just spotted something online that made me laugh – a bit. A Porpoise Recipe from the Forme of Cury, a cookbook from Richard II’s time. Amazingly, it’s done very like how I do my own cooking – that is; no real quantities, just make it up as I go along, mixing and [...]

Via TheP5 I spotted this amazing graphs site http://graphjam.com which is right up my street of pseudo-graphology!  Try it out, it’s infectious – or make your own! Try this one, for instance. or this one: Which neatly ties in with a Rocket Mole discovered graphic from a while back: Oh the huge manatee.  Funny as [...]

Here’s what she’s said about her recent resignation: On Friday: “left because Brown treated her like ‘window dressing‘” On the following Thursday: “left because Brown ‘didn’t trust me’“ Now Gordon Brown, Blair and the whole current government have got up my nose in several ways over the years but have done some good things as [...]

While walking the dog yesterday, it suddenly dawned on me that I’d spotted the World’s Worst Oxymoron.  It’s the latest Tory election slogan.  Remember, that ‘Tory’ (the self-styled nickname of a conservative) actually means terrorist! Vote for Change.  Vote Conservative This of course follows hot on the heels of my previous favourites of Military Intelligence [...]

But [...]

The Day Today What a precient show that was, The Day Today, well over a dozen years ago now.  Chris Morris spotted the rampant change in the tide of news, both in  presentation and editorial content.  Check nearly every news show now – well, it’s hard to spot any difference from this over-the-top spoof, is [...]

I’ve just had a hit from someone looking for Colony Holidays…  Sooo I’d better write this down fast!  I’ve been meaning to do it for a while. Colony Holiday Etc A few years back I fished around on the web to find out what had happened to the CCHS, Council of Colony Holidays for Schoolchildren.  [...]

Harriet Harman For the last week or so, the highly paid Paxman has become obviously annoyed at the continuous devious behaviour from every politician he’s interviewed.  They all say “we understand the public’s anguish” – but, as Paxman notes, they do fuck all about it.  As many have noted, if you go into a shop and [...]

MP Expenses and Privileges Scandal Let’s make one thing absolutely clear: Apart from 635 MPs and the somewhat fewer UK MEPs, NOT ONE PERSON IN BRITAIN THINKS ANY DIFFERENTLY FROM ME! *** We all think that they’re all a bunch of spivving crooks who’ve let everyone down.  To compound the felony, they will even get paid [...]

I am the Dragon King***! wow.  melodramatic twerp. I’ve moved back to my dragon theme from Starscape today. Why? Because I can.  It’s probably something to do with my operation and stuff.  The hormonal balances have been a bit weird recently.  But also, see the “purpose” on the About page… I’ve expressly given myself permission [...]
