Ahmedinejad-Bush coming to your television

Tuesday, 29 August 2006 10:59 P GMT+01

Friday, 25 August 2006 9:06 P GMT+01
Was Gustav Holst right when he wrote The Planets or are the Astronomers wrong in demoting Pluto?

The terminal decline of air travel

Friday, 25 August 2006 8:33 P GMT+01
With all the scares and diversions, air travel is becoming too much of an inconvenience we might as well not bother travelling to save the earth.

Much terror out of a mobile phone and a plastic bag

Friday, 25 August 2006 8:47 A GMT+01
A plane returns to Schiphol under escort because a few mobile phones and plastic bags give the appearance of an impending terrorist attack. Methinks we are getting better at terrifying ourselves than the real terrorists are.

Is this London?

Thursday, 17 August 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
I return to London after 6 years and realise that there is still a lot London can learn from counterpart cities like Paris and Berlin - good, intelligent, readable sign-posting for proximity locations.

Was that the Real Story?

Tuesday, 15 August 2006 12:56 P GMT+01
The Real Story episode about second-hand computers and identity theft might have informed but failed to really educate on the need to protect ones privacy. Apart from witnessing the assault of an already pliant suspect.

The American-Israeli tinderbox that Hezbollah lit up

Tuesday, 15 August 2006 2:25 A GMT+01
If America was already privy to Israeli plans to attack Lebanon long before the kidnap of the 2 soldiers in Israel on July the 12th, the whole truth of this matter does not augur well for the new world order at all.

A large body count with no ease as war ceases

Monday, 14 August 2006 5:11 P GMT+01
The people who lost the most from the Israeli-Lebanon conflict are those who were sacrificed in the proxy war between American and Iran, neither Israel nor Lebanon have gained anything - rather they would have to talk to each other.

Not leaving on a jet plane soon

Sunday, 13 August 2006 12:17 P GMT+01
The number of planned terror attacks have been foiled, we are told, with that comes greater paranoia from the United States than the terrorists themselves could have intended. It you as much as have any liq

A dead man dishonoured

Sunday, 13 August 2006 10:08 A GMT+01
The burial of Funsho Williams was not without event from the sermons given to the way his supporters allowed their egos to get in the way of letting their leader lie in state.

Sweet dreams are made of these

Wednesday, 9 August 2006 8:08 P GMT+01

A coffee blend bereft of Java beans

Monday, 7 August 2006 3:07 A GMT+01
I just could not find the heart or inspiration to embark on a Java course, so that venture is postponed for 24 days whilst I seek some therapy through going on holiday.

Somehow, Israel can do no wrong

Monday, 31 July 2006 7:57 P GMT+01
The angel of death arrives in Qana, Lebanon a second time, on the wings of American supplied bombs, autographed by religious Jews and chaperoned by Israeli aircraft. This is utter madness.

Precision-guided resolutions that miss the target

Thursday, 27 July 2006 5:13 A GMT+01
The question is how precision-guided weapons can accidentally hit a prominent target. Then I examine the UN SC Resolution 1559 and find that we might not have heard the whole truth of that matter of Israeli withdrawal. Syria it appears did more.

The Red Cross marks the missile target - Updated

Wednesday, 26 July 2006 10:59 P GMT+01
Two ambulances get blown up with the missiles coming through the centre of the Red Cross on the roof and a clearly marked UN observers post is obliterated with surgical precision. This wild and reckless party is getting atrocious by the day.

It cannot become obsolete - that was 1964

Wednesday, 26 July 2006 3:41 A GMT+01
The promise of recording science in 1964 shows how things have changed over 42 years of audio electronics.

Tuesday, 25 July 2006 7:02 P GMT+01
That testtube baby is 28 today - that was research done in Europe for the benefit of all - hopefully, America and see through the emotion of stem cell research just as Europe did yesterday.

Pay up or get bombed up

Tuesday, 25 July 2006 4:24 P GMT+01
In a suit filed in the US, it has come to light that one of the reasons there might still be Americans left to be evacuated from Lebanon is they were at one time required to agree to pay the costs of their evacuation. Get we get any lower?

Condolezza brings condolences - maybe more

Sunday, 23 July 2006 7:35 A GMT+01
Until America demands a cessation of violence by every forceful means possible, this Middle-East conflict would only continue. To now learn that Israel is asking for an arms order to be speeded up from the US, leaves much to be desired of the US.

Attempting to stem the tide of science with one veto

Thursday, 20 July 2006 12:40 P GMT+01
The Presidential veto against federal funding of stem cell research shows how emotive subjects can be hijacked with political aplomp regardless of the scientific benefits. Thankfully, science would progress regardless.

Tone blind

Tuesday, 18 July 2006 12:29 P GMT+01
Skin darkening (tanning) and skin lightening (toning) all get a look in as the sun tans some and the heat leads others to expose their toning mishaps. The Summer season is here at last.

Old-age Rum's field day

Friday, 5 May 2006 9:43 P GMT+01
A hapless septuagenarian was heckled during an important speech to his supporters, then accused of lying. How rotten! This is in empathetic concern and commiseration. Why badger a poor old man?
