As it was Remembrance Day (I believe it’s Veteran’s Day in the US) on Sunday I thought I’d bring this up. I found out about it when I went to the Imperial War Museum recently with my Mum and Dad.

For those of you with access to the BBC’s iPlayer (via whatever means) there’s a really incredible film by Peter Jackson (yeah, him of ‘Lord of the…[Read more]

As you all, hopefully, know, I can’t stop people signing up to spam you. But I will try my best to shut it down as quickly as I possibly can – if you let me know. So thank you.

@bluesqueakpip @kevinwho I’ve marked ‘her’ as a spammer. So hopefully no more emails or comments. But let me know if you get any.

@bluesqueakpip Has she done anything wrong? I haven’t seen anything public. Is she sending private messages?

And here are some of those involved in “Adult Life Skills”. Writer/director Rachel Tunnard (left), then Brett Goldstein, Jodie Whittaker (obvs) and Rachael Deering.

@JimTheFish Cheers. I have to admit that I never finished your book, but I got a new Kindle and it’s currently one of only two books on there so I’ll be reading it again soon. Don’t take it personally – I have many books I’ve never finished. I get easily distracted.

I have a web shop to build for a friend (more distraction), but maybe after that…[Read more]

Just a general shout-out. As I’m currently ‘funemployed’ I’d thought I’d ask your opinion on this – don’t worry if you don’t have the time. This is not an assignment – but if you’re looking for something to read that will only take you a couple of hours you might enjoy it.

The BBC are making a three-part TV show of a book called “Death and…[Read more]

@thane16 I only just saw your question. Sorry. This won’t answer your question, but it will educate. One of my favourite talks about science and the existence of God. It’s very entertaining, Neil deGrasse Tyson is a fun watch, so enjoy. And it asks, is our idea of God just a God of the gaps that gets narrower and narrower as we learn more? It’s up…[Read more]

@JimTheFish I’ll let you off, you non-Scottish person!

@idiotsavon Scottish Labour hates the SNP – so much so that in many Scottish councils they have done deals with the Conservatives to keep the SNP out of power.

I’m not even joking. You couldn’t make it up!

@jimthefish I haven’t yet read everything but I hate you already. 🙂

My family (on my mother’s side) is from Ireland and I looked into getting an Irish passport. But it was too many generations ago. You lucky beggar.

@idiotsavon Thanks. But it’s actually a myth that Scottish votes swing it for Labour. As I said, there are so few Scottish MPs that it doesn’t matter how we vote in Scotland. All that matters is how England votes.

I can give you charts if you want. 🙂

@troygorsline I didn’t see that episode, but hopefully you’re being nice. I’ll have to look it up. I tried to be measured in my comment as I know it’s a difficult subject.

@lisa

The Conservatives don’t want the European Court of Human Rights to have any rule over the UK – because they want to “take back control”. So basically, they don’t want us to have any human rights. 🙂

The EU is not insisting on a hard border – it is pointing out that you can’t have Northern Ireland and Ireland without a hard border, if one…[Read more]

Hi @Lisa

The Scottish Government funds free University out of its own budget. So it will probably continue.

There is a mixed reaction to Brexit within the Scottish fishing industry. At first they hated the fact that, for example, the Spanish could come and fish in Scottish waters. So they voted for Brexit. Now that it looks like, even after…[Read more]

@juniperfish @swordwhale Now I’m going to get myself in even more trouble than my recent post about Brexit.

I don’t doubt that there are real trans men and women and I feel they need everyone’s support. It must be very difficult. Unfortunately, in the UK at least, there are people hijacking the trans narrative and no one challenges it because…[Read more]

@lionheart564 I forgot to mention, if you look at the main navigation, there is a “Help” section which might, well, help!

@lionheart564 Welcome. It’s always nice to have new members. And don’t worry, I put this site together and I still don’t know how it all really works.

But it works most of the time.

It’s a bit like The Doctor and the TARDIS in that way!
