On two occasions recently I was asked to supply a password, one to save a quote for car insurance and again when trying to gain access to a shopping site. Not ANY password, one that had to contain at...
I'm particularly thinking of Clint Eastwood though the same applies to anyone. He's an incredible actor and director but I'd have thought as an actor he'd be concentrating on his own performance and...
. . . why are we seeing so much forging of alliances between the various parties? Why do we need Political parties anyway? We're told it's so they can force through unpopular policies. Partnering of...
In the autumn I bought a lovely camouflage jacket. It was light and very warm, had loadsa pockets and was showerproof. It was like going out in a cumfy blanket. I only wore it the once. When I got...
I love history docs, especially those from the early 20th C. and it's always been a fascination of mine that instead of using the Arctic corridor to Murmansk that they didn't use the short hop from...
Of all the world's religions it's only the Moslems are perpetually in the public eye. Not only that but if we try to intervene to suggest a course of action we're told to mind our our business as...
In my humble opinion it's the computer chip - by an extremely long way on so many levels. Certainly it's brought advantages but it's brought a hellova lot more problems. To name but a few - the LIBOR...

I know what I THINK it is (well almost) but Russia was Communist and their idea of it was simply a totalitarian hard-line state. Nazi Germany was a hard-line totalitarian state but they claimed to be...
It's virtually the same line repeated several times yet they need a tablet to remind them of the 'words'.
Is that because it's made BY women or because it's made FOR women?...
I'd like to genuinely apologise for my behaviour and for the tone of my posting yesterday. For a period of time I became the type of contributor I personally detest, where usually there's no greater...
to allow ringtones for mobile phones when they could've used the silent vibration-only method? Probably the same nursery school reject who allowed solicitors to start advertising. All these...
I bought a load of grapes, possibly too many, and I thought of putting some in a jelly but the skins may be a little tough for chomping through a jelly. Is there a way of softening them beforehand?
Is it only in the debating chamber that parliamentary privilege is granted or is it anywhere within the building? I was thinking in terms whether it's extended to the committee rooms.
I don't think anyone can argue against the thinking behind this proposed bit of legislation. But this won't have been the first time something with good intentions has been hi-jacked and used for...
