Is www.dontclick.it inspired, fascinating or just plain annoying?

Hughes again

January 27th, 2006 · Comments Off on Hughes again · Politics

I’m just making up for being just about the last person to hear about all this. I was busy all day at work. Didn’t even check the BBC news site or look up at the Sky news displayed on our projector screen. After working late I came home and went out almost immediately to a […]

Richard Dawkins. Again

January 27th, 2006 · Comments Off on Richard Dawkins. Again · Life

I caught the end of Horizon tonight. It was all about the Dover school board case where concerned parents fought to keep intelligent design off the syllabus. I had only been watching for a few minutes when Richard Dawkins popped up doing his irate atheist bit, and it occurred to me that he could be […]

American government attitude towards West Ham

January 26th, 2006 · Comments Off on American government attitude towards West Ham · Politics

I think I need to get my ears checked out. The news was on the TV, but I was not looking at it, and I heard that the “Hammers victory is causing concern for Washington”. Now I could see why Uriah Rennie not giving a penalty for a blatant foul would cause some concern at […]

Enough about Hughes – spare a thought for Branigan and Bennett!

January 26th, 2006 · Comments Off on Enough about Hughes – spare a thought for Branigan and Bennett! · Politics

Yes I have some sympathy for Simon Hughes. What he gets up to is his own business and good luck to him. I have always had a dislike of him stemming from the Bermondsey by-election and the treatment of Peter Tatchell. However, I didn’t know until reading it here that Tatchell himself accepts that Hughes […]

The Tipping Point

January 26th, 2006 · Comments Off on The Tipping Point · Life

I can remember when The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell was first published in 2000, and there was a lot of buzz about it, so I don’t know why it took me so long to get round to reading it. But now I have read it and I am a little underwhelmed by it. Its […]

Confession

January 25th, 2006 · Comments Off on Confession · Life, Politics

At the risk of being publicly shunned by just about everyone with an even vaguely political blog and being pointed at in the streets, I have to confess that……I have never seen a single minute of the TV programme The West Wing.There. I’ve said it.

Bad conversation

January 25th, 2006 · Comments Off on Bad conversation · Work

You know how it is when you are working late, and someone is having an out-of-hours crisis, so you call your boss’s mobile to get some information, and call him a part-timer because you are still at work and he is halfway back to Peterborough, and it turns out that he is actually down the […]

The pink pound

January 24th, 2006 · Comments Off on The pink pound · Life

If it is in the Guardian it must be true. Or must it? Unlikely as it might seem, gay men and women apparently earn £10,000 more than straight men and women. It does not fit in with most gays and lesbians I know. A lot have had more disposable income through having double-income households and […]

I can’t get www.442ok.com to open using Internet Explorer under Windows XP on my computer. I can open it with another browser though.I would be interested to know if anyone else has the same problems.(OK. So its yet another excuse to plug ‘that band’. So what?)
