Finally a bit of sunshine that encourages people to light up their barbecues. I favour using dishes that allow for a slow cook. That way the chicken legs, steaks, cocktail sausages etc were all cooked to perfection.

Well I scraped through my level 2 distance learning course ‘Exploring Philosophy’. I’m hoping to do things differently next year. In 2005, when I was in the final year of my Humanities degree, I had worked out a revision timetable and felt confident I could answer the exam questions. It…

After the farce of five Tory Prime Ministers trashing the UK economy they have the nerve to ask how the Labour government will pay for the investment in public services. This is like a mugger worrying about how his victim will get home after he robbed him of his bus…

Watching the embarrassing hesitancy of Joe Biden in the Presidential debate I was reminded of my own senior moments of late. Looking to book a one night stay in Bognor Regis I somehow managed to book flights for a three nights stay. I’m sure the English south coast will be…

Most of the games I have watched on TV have been dull spectator sports hampered by the offside rule and endless passes with little attacking strategy. Germany vs Denmark was one of the few exceptions. Lots of attacking play and a real sense of urgency from kick-off. The inevitable goal…
