With the recent (overwhelming) successes by our cyclists at this years Olympics, one would think that this would spur even more people to get on a bike, lose a bit of flab, save a bit of money or even aspire to higher things. For all those new starters, there are one or two obstacles to [...]

I’ve just watched Andrew Marr’s History of Modern Britain on the BBC and was thoroughly impressed by his succinct insights and straight proclamations of “truth”.

a.k.a. How did the Labour Party come to this? The present Home Secretary, the former teacher called Jacqui Smith, is desperately trying, at all costs, to implement laws that would allow events such as the law that is title of this post, to easily occur at some future date. Let’s state my case; I’m (still) [...]
