Frank Davis teases us with the statement, Smoking Is A Disease, and gives some opinions of those allegedly in the know. He then presents his own very valid points,
But I think that to claim that smoking is a disease is to twist and deform language.
And if smoking is a disease, then what other behaviour might [...]

I think they might be Swedish? If that’s not to your liking, I found this fine unaccompanied version of John Anderson My Jo. It won’t allow me to grab the code, so here’s the URL.

I have been prompted to write this post after reading the whole of Sayeeda Warsi’s lecture at the University of Leicester. As if there isn’t more than enough cobblers spoken in universities without an unelected cabinet minister going in to spout the sort of PC blame game many hoped was going to die out with [...]

I don’t know what to write about. It’s all too depressing. Or bizarre. Or silly.
Autonomous Mind has identified our major problem: those who represent us (rule over us) are not afraid of us. He quotes from Richard North’s article in the Mail on Sunday,

The treason upon treason upon treason committed over the past four decades by the unscrupulous and naive in all the main parties is set to be a thing of the past, thanks to the European Union Bill which kicked off in the House of Commons yesterday.

“Sobers” left this comment,

I have been tagged by Leg-iron to talk about my desk. Like his, it’s somewhat cluttered and things like invoices, gadgets and USB leads can turn up months after their disappearance into the void. I often find something I failed to find previously while searching for something else. I live safe in the knowledge that, because I don’t throw things [...]

I was shocked to read over at Subrosa’s place of the death of Gerry Rafferty.
Paisley-born like me and sadly, an alcoholic, like me, but also a great talent, unlike me.

“This is the time and place
To bring out our memories
It’s written on every face
I can see it in you, you can see it in me.”
This song is from his [...]

All of a sudden, it’s the year 2011. It sounds to me like a date far in the future, but it’s here right now, minus the flying cars and personal robots to do our every menial chore while we’re out having fun. That’s what it was supposed to be like as I remember from Tomorrow’s [...]
