Bad science | Mpinion
https://mpinion.wordpress.com/2015/04/09/bad-science
A fine WordPress.com site. April 9, 2015. I am getting increasingly tired of bad science that is cropping up with worrying regularity these days. A few years ago, an article appeared announcing that ingrown toenails are genetically hereditary. Ask any podiatrist or chiropodist and they will tell you that it is how you cut your toenails and care for them and the footwear you put on that determine whether a toenail grows in or not. Who teaches you how to cut your toenails and choose your shoes? Lions and t...

A fine WordPress.com site. November 2, 2016. The annual poppy rant. This was written in response to a piece that was (to my mind) appalling. It was in the Huff Post and it was an astonishingly ill-informed personal boast by someone who seemed quite pleased with himself for refusing to wear a poppy. I would normally let you see what provoked me, but I refuse to give the oxygen of publicity to such ignorant nonsense. This was my response. September 13, 2015. Give til it hurts. This not about established ch...

Lions and tigers and things that go bump in the night | Mpinion
https://mpinion.wordpress.com/2015/07/31/lions-and-tigers-and-things-that-go-bump-in-the-night
A fine WordPress.com site. July 31, 2015. Lions and tigers and things that go bump in the night. This article relates to the current internet vilification of Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer, who paid $50,000 to kill what turned out to be Zimbabwe’s most loved lion, Cecil. He can’t have been that amazing. I’ve never heard of him. I’d heard of Jonathan the tortoise long before I ever met him in person in St Helena. But Cecil? Never heard of him, sorry. And, in any case, I doubt very much whether in a year&...

Day 9 – Torshavn | cruisetheoceanswithemma.com
https://cruisetheoceanswithemma.com/2015/07/04/day-9-torshavn
Emma Freeman's travel blog about cruises. July 4, 2015. Torshavn (Thor’s harbour) actually has two harbours, separated by a small but very hilly spit of land. This is where they decided to settle. Humans really are a bit mental sometimes. The old town, therefore, is a collection of wooden buildings, all painted the same burgundy-ish colour, with ground floors built of stone, and grass roofs. It’s ridiculously pretty. But also the importance of the Bench and provides them every few hundred yards. Marv...

Day 11 – Sea Day | cruisetheoceanswithemma.com

Emma Freeman's travel blog about cruises. July 9, 2015. Day 11 Sea Day. Woke about 9.30 and decided to pack. I hate having this chore hanging over me so I like to get it done so I don’t have to think about it anymore. I didn’t bring much with me, so it didn’t take long! Short cruises really are a whole different ballgame to long ones. I only have one case with me on this one. Remember, on the African and Asian Odyssey we had 19 pieces of luggage between us! This is a breeze by comparison! After dinner, w...

June | 2014 | Mpinion
https://mpinion.wordpress.com/2014/06
A fine WordPress.com site. Monthly Archives: June 2014. June 6, 2014. D-day: the 70th anniversary. So, the 50th anniversary was a big deal. The 70th is also a big deal, because this year, the Survivors’ Association will disband afterwards. There are so few left now, and fewer still who can make the trip, that it isn’t worthwhile continuing to run it. But we must not forget. It was a year before I could face even putting on headphones again, and I have never forgotten how chilling it was to have that voic...

Black Friday – is it worth it? | Mpinion
https://mpinion.wordpress.com/2014/11/28/black-friday-is-it-worth-it
A fine WordPress.com site. November 28, 2014. Black Friday – is it worth it? Black Friday is an import from the United States. It started out as a way of filling the Thanksgiving weekend. But, thanks to the internet, Black Friday is now over here. Add to that the number of major brands and stores that are US-based, sourced or financed, and it is not hard to see why its arrival over here has been so rapid and so complete. But is it worth it? But we are still in November. So why discount today? Well, so fa...

Emma Freeman's travel blog about cruises. April 27, 2016. April 2016 – Sea Day 1 of 5. Didn’t sleep well. Well, I did have a fairly stressful day yesterday! I’m in no fit state to study. Gnite. April 2016 Sea Day 2 of 5. Stephen Hawking talking about the Wow signal. If the governments of the world are covering up alien contact, they are doing much better at it than they do pretty much anything else. If not, where is everyone? We get some quite thought-provoking stuff on our in-cabin tellies, you know.

Emma Freeman's travel blog about cruises. May 4, 2016. Wednesday 4th May 2016 Sea Day 3 of 3. The last sea day for what will probably be a very, very long time. Mind you, eight hours solid kip was lovely, and that was only ended by a bout of screaming cramp. Something I ate last night disagreed with me, but I’m good at finding the upside of that particular situation and I am happy to sit there and think of the weight loss. Went to the parents’ cabin and dad managed to house the contents of one of the bag...
