It’s Just Like Bladerunner, And Not Just the Weather! Tears in Rain Bladerunner, the movie, based on an old Philip K Dick science-fiction story, was made by Ridley Scott from North-East England, someone I’m distantly related to.  Made in 1982, it presents a very grey, wet, bleak future, heavily referencing Scott’s (and my own!) upbringing [...]

No Problem The towns of Workington and Cockermouth are now effectively isolated because all the bridges are down, washed away in the floods. However, they are ONLY bridges, and bridges can be made and rebuilt.  The problem is the lack of communications for the towns and surrounding villages, which affects everything, not least the provision [...]

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 [...]

A laughable bit of summer news arrived yesterday in the form of a 70 year old Ohio man, who reportedly paid for his car with coinage. Here’s $8,000 in coins – ‘I want that Chevy truck’ tootled the Cincinnati Enquirer.  Er… not quite.  He paid for half of it because he “doesn’t trust paper money” [...]

This is the continuing story of pointing out media “information” that is made into political “comment” fuelling whatever trend is needed at a moment in time. This article, UK economic growth slows sharply, in tandem with this story and this story reporting the same fact, show that the UK economy grew 0.2% in the last [...]

In an unequivocal demonstration that the world really is warming up, an ice wall in South America has broken in winter, for the first time ever.  This means that for all of human history in that part of the world, this has never, ever happened before!  Think about it – never, ever. So each time [...]

Today’s little mention on this news item here on The BBC News website about the auction house sale of a key that unlocks the door to the Kaaba, shows, at the beginning and end of the article, the true meaning of religion – certainly in the ones stemming from “Abraham”. It’s states it’s the “12th [...]
