Hi, I'm Rose22 from London (UK not WV) and I'm new to blogging. Why do it? Well it just struck me it'd be good to have somewhere to comment on my baby's development, and other things I've noticed about the world but I get little chance to talk about without having to stop to change a nappy.
I'm interested in politics (particularly UK and EU), child development, I'm a foodie, I love religious thought, reading - particularly scifi/fantasy, travelling, random curiosity about the world... well just read the blog and see...
The blog name? Champagne, roses and ruling the world...
Just a few things that appeal to me!
Sometimes web servers can be really stupid.
Did you know that a pensioner named Willy Humphries was told that both parts of his name were unsuitable by his internet provider? (No one as far as I know has yet identified what a humphrey is and why it is offensive...)
And that Essex and West Sussex County Councils in the UK were unable to receive emails from other Councils for ages because the word sex was identified in their names by the sending servers and branded explicit? (posted in
F*ck you, Facebook!!)
This is interesting - feeds into the whole food debate... but what is your view on it?
For me, while we in the West are worried about organic and food miles (heard Gordon Ramsay today? Idiot) the rest of the world is worried about how to afford the next meal. The question is whether GM is really the answer to higher yields (if it is introducing a terminator gene should be outlawed). I feel a blog entry coming on... :) (posted in
