The World of Quark: Government to sell off air molecules
http://worldofquark.blogspot.com/2011/02/government-to-sell-off-air-molecules.html
The World of Quark. Monthly Nonsense for the Mildly Hopeful. Sunday, 20 February 2011. Government to sell off air molecules. It was announced today that the Government is consulting on whether to sell off the UK’s air molecules. It's thought that several large marketing agencies will bid for Neon and Krypton molecules and lease them out for big campaigns - 'Your Name Here in Neon', 'Not Even the Man of Steel Can Survive These Molecules - Not Without Murray Mints', and so on.

The World of Quark: Jacobean Space Programme
http://worldofquark.blogspot.com/2010/09/jacobean-space-programme.html
The World of Quark. Monthly Nonsense for the Mildly Hopeful. Tuesday, 28 September 2010. Few years back, BBC History Magazine had an article on the Jacobean space programme. One of those articles where the title’s slightly better than the read (something you could never accuse this blog of), it concerned a seventeenth century gent who wanted to open trade routes to the moon, and designed a machine to get there. 8217; ‘Wot’s “rocket science”?

The World of Quark: The Unmistakeable Reek of Nostalgia
http://worldofquark.blogspot.com/2010/11/unmistakeable-reek-of-nostalgia.html
The World of Quark. Monthly Nonsense for the Mildly Hopeful. Monday, 15 November 2010. The Unmistakeable Reek of Nostalgia. Coming back from a curry last night our local station opened up a platform it never uses and a stairway to the Exit which emerges, Danger Mouse-like, from a doorway in a wall you never realised was there. Man, that stairway took me back. Best of all, it smelt like stairways, telephone boxes and car parks always should smell: of male piss. Ah, the nostalgia! Canute of the Hair Waves.

The World of Quark: February 2008

The World of Quark. Monthly Nonsense for the Mildly Hopeful. Thursday, 28 February 2008. Anyone Seen My Chesterfield Sofa? Every century has a genius for something. Our century has a genius for the fatuous. This week’s jewel of irrelevance is the announcement they force train drivers to make on pulling into a major station: ‘Please ensure, when leaving the train, you take all belongings with you’. Who does that help, then, apart from box-tickers at the train company? Nearly forgot the parakeet!

The World of Quark. Monthly Nonsense for the Mildly Hopeful. Tuesday, 29 January 2008. Office blocks to lift the spirit. I note with a real sense of jubilation and relief that the new development outside East Croydon station (pearl amongst commuting stations) will include ‘Grade ‘A’ office space for 500 people’. Thank God for that! As for the ducks in Croydon village pond, they can sod off as well. Let’s build some sort of dual carriageway through the village green, that’ll settle their h...When water dr...

The World of Quark: Canute of the Hair Waves
http://worldofquark.blogspot.com/2010/11/canute-of-hair-waves.html
The World of Quark. Monthly Nonsense for the Mildly Hopeful. Monday, 15 November 2010. Canute of the Hair Waves. So, how do you deal with the stuff? I mean, it’s a battle, isn’t it? There’s the shaving, for a start – that’s another tiresome pointless daily routine to add to teeth-brushing, operatic indigestion and pretending not to recognise people you work with when you see them on the train. How come I’m only an albino nasally? I mean, what’s it all for? 16 December 2010 at 02:54. Well Richard its not ...

The World of Quark: I Am Wearing The Hat Of An Alien Nobleman
http://worldofquark.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-am-wearing-hat-of-alien-nobleman.html
The World of Quark. Monthly Nonsense for the Mildly Hopeful. Thursday, 16 December 2010. I Am Wearing The Hat Of An Alien Nobleman. At the Football Christmas Dinner-Dance this Tuesday friend Terry arrived sporting a rather handsome winter hat. It was one of those Russian jobs, all fur and flaps that make you like Muttley. Fantastic. I asked Tel two or three times where he’d got it from, to the extent that he (understandably) ended up squawking, ‘I don’t know, all right? I’m convinced this compariso...
