Patently Rubbish: November 2013

http://thepatentlyblog.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 12 November 2013. Make bad law, as the saying goes. However (I suspect you could see that word coming), this case. Is a perfect example of why we need the amendment to the Human Rights Act that I have been saying is needed for some time now. Headline that the Telegraph has grabbed. Is it not an utter and rank hypocrisy to resist being sent to your own country on the grounds that, once there, you might. Be subject to treatment of the same class as you did actually. Links to this post. It seems th...

Outings in the Caterham. Where to take the 7 first? To the office, obviously! Then I can show it to all my colleagues, who have been patiently listening to tales of unco-operative upper suspension mounts. Next, to Caterham Midlands. To hear about the year they have planned for us. and then to Oulton Park to play. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Outings in the Caterham.

Patently Rubbish: September 2013

http://thepatentlyblog.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Monday, 9 September 2013. Back in December 2007. Arctic summers ice-free 'by 2013'. Scientists in the US have presented one of the most dramatic forecasts yet for the disappearance of Arctic sea ice. Their latest modelling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years. And now that we have reached 2013. There has been a 60 per cent increase in the amount of ocean covered with ice compared to this time last year, they equivalent of almost a million square miles.

Patently Rubbish: Same old Labour

http://thepatentlyblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/same-old-labour.html

Tuesday, 17 March 2015. So, there won't be a Labour-SNP coalition. Unequivocally, no. It will not happen:. Ed Miliband has ruled out a Labour-SNP coalition in the event of a hung Parliament after May's election.". Well, that's the message he wanted to send, anyway. But that's just the BBC's summary. What did he actually say? The Labour leader said any alliance would "not happen" as there were "big differences" between the two parties. Ah, see, that's not quite the same, is it? None of that rules out the ...

Wrinkled Weasel's World: Thunderbirds are Go! Again!

http://wrinkledweasel.blogspot.com/2011/01/thunderbirds-are-go-again.html

The news this week, that Gerry Anderson is to begin work on a brand new series of Thunderbirds has warmed the welks of me ticker. I was a great customer for comics in the Sixties, and one of my regulars was TV Century 21. It revealed, to those of us in the UK, that Thunderbirds was actually, and fantastically, in COLOR! I never saw the live action movie because the critics panned it, and it seemed to me that it would sully my memories. No, I prefer Thunderbirds as envisaged by Gerry and his Mrs. ...I gre...

Wrinkled Weasel's World: This Cannot be Right

http://wrinkledweasel.blogspot.com/2011/06/this-cannot-be-right.html

This Cannot be Right. News today that an MP has been arrested on suspicion of Sexual Assault, and named to the press, is to me an outrage. This man is innocent until proven guilty. He now faces trial by media. His female accuser basks in anonymity. What is wrong with us? Can nobody see how damaging this kind of thing is to society? Is there not a case to be made for anonymity on both. Sides until the verdict? Posted by Wrinkled Weasel. Thursday, June 09, 2011. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Violent ...

Wrinkled Weasel's World: WAVELENGTHS 3

http://wrinkledweasel.blogspot.com/p/wavelengths-3.html

Christina grew up on a boat, a wooden schooner, which her father had bought in 1946. Built at Block Island, off Long Island in the USA, The Tappan Zee. Measured 38 feet over all and was 14 feet wide. Christina, together with her father, mother and two siblings sailed the oceans and inland waterways more or less continuously from the age of 5 to 15, beginning their incredible journey in 1958. In the introduction to her first book, Sea Urchin, she writes:. WW: Does it teach you some kind of resilience?

Wrinkled Weasel's World: Bob's here, Dave

http://wrinkledweasel.blogspot.com/2011/06/bobs-here-dave.html

Bob's here, Dave. It's been a strange week for me. A lot of activity last weekend and predictably I caught a cold. That would not have been remarkable if it were not for me not being able to breath properly, to the point of having to get an ambulance. A moment to forget. Ah, dear readers, if only you knew. My highlight of the week, apart from still being alive, was a wonderful stay with another rock star, this time, a nice one. He told me a story, given to him by one of the principals:. Mr Rumpy Pumpy, t...

Wrinkled Weasel's World: DF4D

http://wrinkledweasel.blogspot.com/p/df4d.html

DEAD FLOWERS FOR DAPHNE. Is, if you like, a side project of Wrinkled Weasel. It's a collaborative effort with occasional contributions from other Weasels. It's an audio romp through my mind. There are also contributions, more normal contributions, from friends. This first of DF4D might appeal to the medical profession, but has enough cross-over appeal to work for fans of Mary Poppins, I think. All the songs on here, including those of my friends are free to download. It's called Head and Shoulders. The n...
