Tuesday, April 09, 2013. Thatcher: A Pictorial Representation Of My Twitter Feed Yesterday. Yesterday, of course, Maggie Thatcher died. For many the party started as soon as they heard the news. Im not one to celebrate the death of an old lady who is no longer involved actively in politics, and thankfully few of the people I know on social media are either. Twitter, of course, provided entertainment by the bucketload for those who, like me, are indifferent to her passing. Read the rest of this post.

the blog with the woofing dog: Star Wars: Where Are All The Super Soldiers?
http://blog.evilflea.com/2014/02/star-wars-where-are-all-super-soldiers.html
Monday, February 03, 2014. Star Wars: Where Are All The Super Soldiers? No, I don't mean the Clone Army. I mean the Jedi. This is something indirectly triggered by JK Rowling's comments that in the Harry Potter books, Hermione probably should have ended up with Harry instead of Ron. My friend Elliot suggested that while it doesn't change anything, it will still annoy hardcore fans, much like the midichlorians in Star Wars. Tim, however, disagreed, and thought the midichlorians changed quite a lot. Midich...

Saturday, July 06, 2013. Dear NGOs, *THIS* is how you promote your work. These days I avoid looking at charity posters on the Tube. More often than not, they're crass, they're tasteless, they portray poor people as helpless and their situation hopeless. It makes me very. Angry, because I've worked. For NGOs, and do you know what inspires me about their work? And that is why this video is AMAZING. Watch it until the very end. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hello My name is Phil.

Sunday, October 09, 2011. Why Has No One Ever Thought Of This Before? So there we were, walking home from Toby and Angels wedding. On a Saturday night. Ambling our way along Turnpike Lane. And Laura turned to me and said, Do you know what I really fancy? I dont know, I said. Chips? This seemed like a reasonable guess. No, said Laura. I ventured, rather optimistically. A nice falafel salad? Read the rest of this post. Links to this post. Thursday, October 06, 2011. The News Will Eat Itself. I love livin...

Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Journalist Fury: Cost Of Not Issuing iPads To Police Not Enough To Save 500 Jobs. Some officers will lose their jobs, in a move. Completely unrelated to tablet computers. Unidentified Telegraph journalists reacted angrily today as plans emerged that Surrey Police are probably not going to issue their frontline officers with expensive Apple-branded products. In fact, it appears likely that less expensive. Read the rest of this post. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sunday, April 07, 2013. The Riddle Of The Housekeepers And The Cat. A riddle for you:. You require the services of a new housekeeper, to whom you will supply money for the day to day running of the house. There are two applicants for the job, both of whom you have employed before.

Tuesday, May 31, 2011. FIFA Bribery Scandal: That Royal Wedding Snub In Full. For those of you who missed it, there was an excellent* article in the Evening Standard on Friday about the FIFA bribery scandal. It reminded us all how the final presentation for England's failed World Cup 2018 bid was presented by the unlikely trio of David Beckham, David Cameron and Prince William, and how the three of them met Sepp Blatter in the process. He was not invited to Prince William's wedding last month. It reminde...

Tuesday, July 10, 2012. Trust Recommends Solution To Problems Caused By Publishing School League Tables - Publish More School League Tables. The Sutton Trust last week published on its website. An interesting report on Englands failure to help gifted and talented pupils achieve in Maths education. There are many reasons why this is the case, not least of which is that it appears to be socially acceptable to be bad at Maths. 160; But it is not just the top end who are being let down by the education system.
