Causing trouble at TK Maxx
Would you have bothered? I was in TK Maxx today, trying to buy one of those Red Nose Day bunny t-shirts for my son (actually I didn't get one in the end - they didn't have one in his size so he's got a Morecombe and Wise one instead). I decided to have a look around the rest and found......Read More

On Jade Goody, and being Ready for heaven
It was the tagline on the front of OK! magazine's wedding special. Jade Goody, reality TV star and terminally ill with cervical cancer is not afraid of dying and "ready for heaven" now she's married her boyfriend Jack Tweed. What's happened to Jade is awful, tragic and, I had......Read More

Democracy should be 50/50
It's not often I get to cover two of the main themes of my blog in one post, but the BBC has finally covered something that's been around for a while, so it's the perfect excuse. Yesterday was International Women's Day.  European Commission Vice-President Margot Wallstrom has......Read More

Women and the media
Interesting piece of women's journalistic navelgazing here, making a similar point about journalism as I just made in my last post about politics... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7928947.stm ...Read More

Are girls only girly because they're told to be?
My niece loves pink.  She wants to be a princess.  She has a canopied princess bed, pink, naturally.  She owns many princess dresses and Disney princess DVDs. It's her birthday.  Should we indulge the princess phase and buy her something princess-y, or - as my husband......Read More

No UK party in biggest European political group?
We've known for ages that it was likely to happen. The Conservatives have now made it clear that they are leaving the EPP before the European Parliamentary elections in June this year. The gulf between views on the European Union between the UK Conservatives and the other centre right......Read More

Real Independence in the European Parliament?
I've always felt it was a bit of a cheek for the IDD group in the European Parliament to imply that it is only possible to be independent if one is also anti-EU. So I'm amused and interested by the Jury Team idea which you can read more about here on the BBC  or on their own site Jury......Read More

Real cyborg implant!
Were not talking about the Borg quite yet. But I just read about this, and I think it's Ingenious.  Apparently a computer programmer in Finland who lost a finger in a motorcycle accident has made himself a prosthetic with a built in USB memory stick.  That's brilliant!  Of......Read More

Which hell would Dante put you in?
Thanks to te rather wonderful blog Mrs Trefusis takes a taxi , I've discovered the Dante's Inferno test site... Before anyone gets upset, the test is based on sin and consequence as defined in Dante's literary work, not directly on the bible.  So there's no immediate salvation......Read More

Quote of the day
Joseph Schumpeter’s quip - that if a man has been run over by a bus, you do not restore him to health merely by reversing the bus... thanks to the blog  http://stumblingandmumbling.typepad.com/stumbling_and_mumbli ng/2009/03/the-rotten-state-of-britain-a-review.html for......Read More
