An Imitation of Someone Else’s Life…
I was seduced once again by les francais last week. As someone with Eastern European roots and a fondness for the morbid and tragic, there is a sophistication and all around arrogance to the French that both repels and attracts me. It must be the Groucho Marx-esque dichotomy in me. How else could I explain [...]
My concern with ASBOs
A short while ago I mentioned, in passing, my concern with the legal phenomenon of Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOs). I’d like, here, to lay out some of the causes of my concern. I have no doubt that, in a certain sense, they ‘work’. But, ‘working’ is not identical to something being ‘just’, [...]
Writing From The Soapbox: Non means Qui
I was going to give you a detailed run down of the French rejection of the European Constitution. But I’m not!
Because it means f*ck all!
The simple fact is that there is a road, there is a road to “ever-closing unionâ€Â, it’s a road to a pan-European dictatorship of unelected, classless and nationless bureaucrats, and it [...]
The Yeti Rants: The FCC and PTC.. partners in censorship
Today, like usual, we start out with a quote. Bare with me, it’s a long one:

Am i bitter? i don’t feel bitter. People tell me i’m bitter, though…
The (Quite) Angry Punk Presents…
Hullo again, and welcome back. I missed you, how you been? Myself well I’ve been great, it’s been a wild week, saw Revenge of the Sith, I’d review it, but hell I think my colleagues over at Insidepulse have that one more than covered. Long story short, I loved it, still not as good [...]
In the Interim: Hands
“And palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.”
-Romeo and Juliet
My mom says she fell in love with my dad because of his hands.
No, get your mind out of the gutter (though I admit mine went there for one terrifying second before my mom explained.) She said she looked at his hands and they had [...]
A Pledge on ID (a British perspective)
I admit it; I am not a fan of Identification Card legislation. Identification Cards will reduce our civil liberties. If the cards are to be of any value to the practice of law enforcement people will have to be required to carry them. It will formalise and accelerate the trend where it [...]
Cali Chronicles: Getting Back to Cali
So I’ve been chastised for getting off the topic of California for a couple of weeks, so I’ll get you back to living life in LaLa Land. As I have mentioned in an earlier article, celebrities become a necessary evil living in LA but you do learn to live an open-minded life among them. Besides [...]
The Contract With Britain
In what may be a piece of blue sky thinking or a merely pie in the sky, Will Cooling puts forward the 10 policies that he believes that a future Conservative Government should put forward.
