    We Muslims ain't terrorists.

    Yet McDonalds openly funded the IRA - labeling them as "Freedom Fighters". This is the sort of thing that makes me vehemently anti-religion. No matter what the religion be their tenet is always the same - Peace, Love & Tranquility, yet has their ever been a time when these religions would...

    Gay Conversion Therapy

    If Homosexuality goes against God's ordinance, and is a matter of being a conscious choice to be evil, then how come it's common to the rest of the Animal Kingdom as well? As this item specifies, this fact felled the Sodomy laws in Texas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexual_behavior_in_animals

    Disappointing product

    I recently purchased a full face crash helmet from a dealer via Amazon for a good budget price of £55, with free P&P (very cheap, considering similar lids go for £150 upwards). However, when it arrived, despite the measurement of 66cm (my size on a loose fitting) being given, when I went to try...

    Poet's Corner

    First thing this morning as I was in the early stages of getting myself psyched up for this afternoon's concert there was a massive crash of thunder, that shook the entire building. My first reaction was that of dread as I had to make my way about 3 miles to the convert venue in my Posh Togs in...

    What cheers you up?

    Could be. I've been sectioned a couple of times, although last time I refused to let them take me to the hospital in the first place. The thing is, you can be on a downer, but then be on a high just as quickly. It just depends on the triggers. Right now I'm angry at myself for screwing up...

    Highlight of your day?

    My ankles are aching now, having just got home from the choir's main annual Summer concert at the Berry Theatre, Hedge End, Southampton (Question Time was filmed there a few weeks ago), which involves a lot of standing in my posh togs & the shoes I only wear of special occasions, so they've...

    Chit Chat Zone

    I only ever use my mobile as a phone & for text messages. In fact it's very rare I even take it with me anywhere. I'm certainly one of those who seem to be constantly addictively glued to them.

    What cheers you up?

    It can result in one minute being as Happy as Larry - the next in a state of extreme depression, lacking the will to live or even becoming suicidal.

    What Are You Currently Reading?

    Moby Dick - Bathroom reading. Ideal for bathroom reading as the chapters are so very short. Sometimes as short as a single paragraph.

    Out of business

    I believe the primary cause for companies going out of business is the access to Internet Trading. The first thing it hits are your local corner shops, as everything is so much cheaper to buy from eBay / Amazon etc. Then come the smaller supermarkets when the Online Shopping conglomerates take...

    Why Hardley Davidson sucks!

    I imagine the same can be said about so many 'Classic' cars the enthusiasts spend a fortune restoring, when there was a perfectly good reason why became dinosaurs in the first place. They were fuel hog, inefficient & total rust buckets, but people tend to remember them with rose coloured...

    Collecting Media - Digital or Physical?

    As with most other things, I'm a hoarder, rather than a collector. I with frequently download entire series of TV programmes / movies, and even if I never expect to watch them ever again, I have to keep them, just in case.... You know how it is. You have an overall clearout in the home, and...

    Gun Owners

    I totally agree. While it may be said that "guns don't kill people, people kill people", I think it it would be difficult for someone to shoot someone else without a gun. The main problem with guns is that they are part of the vicious circle of violence. A arms himself, so B feels the need to...

    Interesting to you / others, not so much

    Scientifically orientated questions... Like how is it that the poles always take the vertical axis (or roughly so), and their natural satellites / moons take the horizontal orbit. And in a bottle of fizzy drink, how is it that the bubbles of CO2 only appear when the bottle / can is opened. I...

    I'm Coming To Visit You!

    Obviously a walk along the shore (literally a 2 minute walk from my building), where I would point out Netley Hospital, which was the first hospital ever set up by Florence Nightingale for war veterans who had been blinded by Mustard Gas. Then, in the town centre is the famous Bargate...

    Stupid Spending

    The fad of "Keeping Up With The Jones's" when it comes to having to have the latest Smart Phone on the market every few months, loaded with apps they're never going to use, or even realise they're there., let alone what they're meant to do.

    Smells

    I think most of my favourite smells are the usual clichés: Likes: Baking Bread. Fresh Coffee (better still, Roasting Coffee). New-mown grass. Seaweed when the tide goes out. Trichlorethane (the solvent used in such products as nail varnish). Fish & Chip shops (probably fairly unique to the...
