THERE ARE NONE SO BLIND AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT SEE

I always thought the title of this article was biblical in origin but it turns out it isn’t….my creation theory must have been wrong.

RAGE AGAINST THE ELBOW

Rage Against The Machine at the very first T in the park was a memorable moment for anyone who was there, just look at the crowd in the video. Unfortunately, even though I was there I can only remember about half of it as during the moshing I receivied a fairly hefty accidental elbow behind [...]

I SCORED A GOAL IN A WORLD CUP STADIUM DURING THE WORLD CUP

I’M SURE EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE NOW

Climate change, tipping points, oil spill, radiation… all on the way to being fixed because according to the London Evening Standard, Tony is finally on the case. Well, they use some interesting words. They don’t say “Tony Blair is set to turn his attention toward the serious environmental problems the world now faces. This comes [...]
