The Mint Marquee: December 2011
http://themintmarquee.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 December 2011. That's what it feels like now. No. No, that's not right. That's what it always was, right from the start, in varying degrees. Just dead air. Static. Radio silence. So you hide in the static. You breathe the dead air. You wish it had been different. You wish it had been better. Could you have changed it? In the end, it could have been your fault. You let the static continue. You didn't break through in time. Would it have changed anything if you had? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Marquis: June 2010
http://the-marquise.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
In search of the Good Life. Tuesday, 22 June 2010. Wednesday, 16 June 2010. Rage Against the Dying of the Light. I believe we should practice what we preach. As such I intend to work away at learning Gaelic and promoting Scottish culture and customs. I shall report throughout the year on how I am progressing, and encourage all my nationalist companions to attempt to ‘Gaelify’ their own lives in their own way. Saturday, 12 June 2010. The Big Conversation-Last of the Raj. Thursday, 3 June 2010. Well we hav...

The Mint Marquee: Choke
http://themintmarquee.blogspot.com/2012/01/choke.html
Thursday, 19 January 2012. How did this happen? You already know the answer to that. A message you were never meant to receive. A call that never connected. You can see all of the pieces, and try as you might, you can’t stop them from fitting together. And it hurts. It hurts like hell. But he did send the message to you, and you got it too late, and when you tried to call, there was no one left to answer. And all of this for the one person you just wanted to leave you alone. And now you can choke on it.

The Marquis: Vote Cashley On Lothian List!
http://the-marquise.blogspot.com/2010/09/vote-cashley-on-lothian-list.html
In search of the Good Life. Thursday, 9 September 2010. Vote Cashley On Lothian List! I would like to take a minute to urge all SNP members in the Lothian region to give Calum Cashley their Ist preference vote on the List. He is a dedicated nationalist, and his recent article (follow the link to his blog at the side of the screen) proves that he will make an excellent MSP. Vote Cashley!

The Marquis: April 2010
http://the-marquise.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
In search of the Good Life. Friday, 30 April 2010. What does ‘Bigotgate’ show? That Gordon Brown does not know how things work in the ‘real’ world? That the PM actually has human frailties? Would Brown circa 1997 have made this mistake? Sunday, 25 April 2010. Antony Flew, one of the greatest philosophers of the post-War era, died on 8 April 2010. In the last few years he made headlines with his book ‘There Is A God’ in which the man who established atheism as a viable mainstream philosoph...Or http:/ www...

The Marquis: Blair and Iran
http://the-marquise.blogspot.com/2010/09/blair-and-iran.html
In search of the Good Life. Friday, 3 September 2010. Now I am no fan of the Iranian regime (their human rights record is appalling), but does anyone else think that this ‘Tehran Threat To World Peace’ thing is getting a bit old? And yet Blair and every other high ranking Western diplomat views Iran as a greater threat to the status quo. Why? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The big boys want all the sweeties. A New, Shiny Thing: 'Gaia'. Aaaaaand. I'm back. Vote Cashley On Lothian List!

The Mint Marquee: Marionette Wonderland
http://themintmarquee.blogspot.com/2012/01/marionette-wonderland.html
Thursday, 5 January 2012. It is different for everyone. For some, it is simple. Cold logic and hard facts come together as flat steel walls. Everything is ordered neatly and smoothly beneath their fingertips. It always makes sense, it always fits. There are no cracks, no gaps, only more smooth edges where the pattern can be continued as more logic and facts are added to the machine. Are you moving the strings, or are the strings moving you? That seductive purr and the ticking of clocks and suddenly you u...

In search of the Good Life. Sunday, 12 December 2010. Wikileaks and the Arrest of Julian Assange. Friday, 3 December 2010. In a pre-television age when people where stuck in the house together by adverse weather they would tell stories and poems to each other. In that tradition I have composed this poem. I call it 'An Ignorant Lover':. The Past is a tale which is cold,. Where wrong triumphed over right,. But the future has yet to be told:. A land where everything is still bright. Aaaaaand. I'm back.
