I know this sort of behaviour is wrong and should not be condoned and all that, but isn’t there just a little part of everyone that hopes they are still capable of committing such an offence at the age of 95? Must be something in the water down there. I wonder what the warning was…

Steve Irwin
September 4th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Life
After seeing Steve Irwin scooping up deadly snakes, juggling deadly spiders and hanging out with crocodiles (deadly of course) todays news that he has been killed by wildlife should be no surprise, but after surviving some of the most dangerous creatures in the world it is a bit of a shock to see him finished […]
Jeremy Bentham
July 31st, 2006 · 8 Comments · Life
One of the things I liked about the book The Tyranny of Numbers, was what the author called its historical interludes. These were chapters about historical figures relevant to the development of counting and statistics. These reminded me very much of some of Stephen Jay Gould’s essays on historical figures (mostly scientists) in the way […]

Superheroes
July 22nd, 2006 · 1 Comment · Life
All this talk of superheroes, reminded me of what I thought earlier in the month when I electrocuted myself in the line of DIY duty. At the time I thought it was unfair that in the comic books someone gets electrocuted, bitten by a radioactive spider, falls into a vat of toxic chemicals and end […]

Chris Oxlade
July 13th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Life
I was quite shocked and surprised to see the news in today’s Crawley Observer that Chris Oxlade is leaving Mercury FM. They say he has been ‘sacked’ or ‘axed’ although Chris hasn’t commented on it at all. I will admit that I hardly ever listen to Mercury FM and I don’t think I have ever […]
Ian Wright Wright Wright

I saw something truly amazing on TV tonight. After the highlights of the Germany/Italy semi-final there was a small piece of film of Ian Wright looking round the art exhibits in the building where the BBC have their temporary studio. I have a lot of time for Ian Wright, and did even before he moved […]
Bert Crane
July 1st, 2006 · 1 Comment · Politics
It was good to see Councillor Bert crane at the special council meeting last night. Nobody was expecting him to be there as he had recently had a heart attack or stroke or something and been admitted to hospital. With the sort of timing perfected during a continuous spell of over 50 years as an […]
BNP Activity in Crawley
March 18th, 2006 · Comments Off on BNP Activity in Crawley · Politics
The BNP have been delivering some especially nasty leaflets in Crawley recently. Copies have been sent to the Town Hall and to Sussex police, as some recipients feel that they are offensive enough to be illegal under electoral and normal laws.

Jack Dromey
March 17th, 2006 · 6 Comments · Politics
I am actually quite encouraged by Jack Dromey’s public comments about this loans business. I find the whole thing hard to understand as I really can’t get my head round why someone would want to be a Lord or even a Sir, let alone want it enough to try buying the title. I can’t see […]

On the way to… er.. Cardiff?
March 15th, 2006 · Comments Off on On the way to… er.. Cardiff? · Life
What a result tonight! With so many games against Bolton this season I guess it was our turn to finally win one. What an interesting statistic that one of our newer players, Scaloni, had only played 6 games so for us far but 3 of them were against Bolton. And what a night for seeing […]
