Only Truth

From the age of four I was told repeatedly that wet hair would kill me. Yes, kill me. Not harm me, or hurt me, but kill me. “You’ll catch a death!” were the words that really struck fear into my small mind. Wet hair beat plane crashes, car crashes and farming accidents hands down according to my parents. This was what made me terrified of having wet hair at all conscious times. Because of all that I was the only More

The Massive Unaware

This is a post you want to read if you find yourself moaning about the weather, yet unable to really believe that all the garbage us humans have bled in to the atmosphere in the last few hundred years is actually doing any harm.

Well, it is, of course. That goes without saying—you only need look at the glaciers for a shocking slap in the face of how bad the situation really is. But Enigin, as do most people More

3 Down, 387 To Go!

The Director of Public Prosecutions, Keith Starmer, has announced that three Labour MPs, along with a Conservative peer, are to face criminal charges under the Theft Act. Whilst this in itself is welcome news it is a drop in the ocean when compared to the systemic abuse (some might say fraud) of the expenses system.

When the story broke last year in The Telegraph the public were quite rightly shocked at the scale of the claims and the sheer number More

Cashiers From Hell!

I used to live in Cologne, West Germany; It was generally a very pleasant experience, aside from something which happened without fail each and every time I visited the supermarket. At first I thought, It’s got to be me, surely this can’t be everywhere like the plague, surely this cannot be as bad as all that… but then, investigating the conspiracy more deeply–by now I was sure that was what it was–I was horrified to find More

Jeanette Winterson’s Strange Fruit.

In 1990, the BBC aired a brilliant three-part adaption of Jeanette Winterson’s, ‘Oranges are not the only Fruit’. It caused quite a who-ha at the time because it dealt with a young girl having a lesbian relationship; although, this was far from being the only controversial part of the story.

Yes, it did explore the pain and difficulty of becoming aware of gay/bi-sexual tendencies; but it also looked into religious matters and the danger of some churches. When does a More

Broken Britain And The Doncaster Dilemma

All of Britain has been sickened by details of the ’Doncaster Devil Boys’, (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/south_yorkshire/8476363.stm), but as the initial revulsion subsides we all have to think long and hard about what lessons we can learn and how to prevent it happening again.

It is almost beyond belief that two brothers, two youngsters aged just 10 and 11, could carry out such a sadistic attack that saw their victims tortured and left for dead. When asked by police why they had stopped More

Why We Should Be Grateful.

It is very easy to forget just how lucky we are to live in Britain. We are constantly complaining about all manner of things, but the truth is there is actually very little to be disgruntled about.

One of our biggest gripes is the weather. Okay, so we have floods sometimes but they are not quite the same as a tsunami, are they? And sometimes we may get gale force winds, but that is a little bit different to More

Classic Albums - Harvest.

In February of 1972, Neil Young released his fourth solo album, ‘Harvest’. It was to be one of his greatest achievements and it has proved to be phenomenally popular even to this day.

‘Harvest’ was close to never coming about at all. Leading up to it, Young had spent months in bed with a serious back problem. He wrote many of the tracks whilst being immobilised. Even during the actual recording of the album he had to be ‘propped up’ More
