The history of democracy in Europe is a mixed bag. In Great Britain we have been (broadly) free for a thousand years (give or take a few decades, and the bit since 1997). Other countries have been free for about as long as it takes to soft-boil an egg. And still […]
Typical of our Prime Mentalist to surface for a blatant photo opportunity in the desert. Entertainingly there is a veritable car-park full of vehicles neatly lined up behind him for the occasion. One presumes that they weren’t needed anywhere else today and are surplus to requirements. If anyone dies today […]
..that shoe-throwing bloke? One in an occasional series about people who have had their 15 minutes of fame and faded from sight to linger only as an annoying tie-break question in the pub quiz. Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi (there, you remember his name now) was jailed after hurling his shoes […]
Courtesy of KVOA News we have the odd story of siamese rattlesnakes being seperated by a doctor in a 45 minute operation. Found on a building site in Tucson, Arizona, they are described as being “an anomaly rarely seen in the wild” which is news-speak for saying they die very […]

It’s a […]
Seen over at the unbeatable Croydonian today, this clip from one of the Fox affiliates is so hilariously low budget and, for want of a better word, naff, that it’s well worth watching. For those of you with a geekish slant, 38secs in is a pure C|N>K * moment. Enjoy. […]
Hmmm. Jonah McDoom goes missing, just like Macavity, for a month. Over a month, the FTSE100 rises by 9% Coincidence?
It’s almost impossible to believe. What to you give the first Speaker of the Commons to be ousted in 300 years? A peerage. It’s long been a traditional parting honour given to retiring Speakers, but Baron Martin of Springburn, of Port Dundas in the City of Glasgow as we must […]
