Raw sewage threat to booming Dubai Despite boasting several fancy shaped islands that are visible from space, a sail-shaped hotel, an indoor ski slope with real snow and a new city every day, the planners (for this whole false paradise of un-sustainability has actually been planned, don’t forget!) have forgotten to plan for all the [...]

I had to have a little titter to myself about the inanity of it all… In the headline: Saint-Tropez déclare la guerre aux hélicoptères The locals, called Tropeziennes, are apparently getting pissed off with all the helicopter flights both from within and around the town and those purely for sight-seeing. Of course, quite a lot [...]

In a typical piece of reporting designed to highlight bad news and add spin to boring statistics, the recent news that half the British armed forces are pissed off and would rather stop shooting and dodging bullets in preference to looking for jobs in a decreasing jobs market is not surprising.

Introduction When there’s a war on in one’s country, say WW2 in the Europe, the people unite against the common enemy and accept that some will die so that the war is won and the next generation can continue. If you lived in the UK, the consensus was that you’d be fighting for “freedom” and [...]

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”.
