It is hard to imagine that anyone could stand up in front of a group of people and say, with a straight face, that there are at least one hundred and fifty (that’s one-five-zero or 150) different genders. But someone does and has at the BBC. Just exactly what is going on is hard to […]
No, there really aren’t 150 genders. Read More »
When it was announced that Covid-19 was going to wipe out the human race, I cowered in my house; determined to drink myself to death before the virus got me. Having done my liver irreparable damage in the process, I was dismayed to learn we are not all going to die. Still, I continued drinking,

I had never heard of the journalist Dom Phillips and had no idea he was missing; now I hear he is dead, along with his local guide, and identifiable only by dental records. I guess it does not take long for a body to decompose in the Amazon rainforest. But since his death I have

“I’m sorry to announce ladies and gentlemen that your scheduled flight to Rwanda has been cancelled indefinitely” is probably one of the few times passengers have been glad to hear such a message. This week and last, we have been treated to a “will they, won’t they” scenario regarding the planned deportation of 130 illegal
A bunch of Muslim fanatics is protesting about something. Nothing new there, but what is it this time? A teacher daring to show a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed?

I read The Irish Times and have read several books about the place. But frankly, I’m buggered if I understand what’s going on there. However,

The nation’s children have recently endured two years of social and educational deprivation. They are now more depressed, less able to socialise, behind with reading and counting and very young ones are having problems with facial recognition and communication. Scare the bejeebers out of them about a virus that they were unlikely to become infected

Scientists have discovered a black hole (or should that be a ‘hole of colour’?) at the centre of our galaxy. I’ll be sure to avoid it when I am out on one of my many intergalactic voyages. If black holes are so fascinating, I suggest we send a few scientists down Whitehall to see if
