A Trip to Morrison’s

Posted on May 24, 2013

This lunchtime, with what many would regard as an inexplicable disregard for the elasticity towards the boundaries of perceived conformity, I decided after a great deal thought, that I would do my weekend shopping in Morrison's rather than my obligatory trip to aisles of Sainsbury's that I have grown to know and love. "Why on earth did come to make such a ludicrous decision?" I hear you all cry. Well you see, Morrison’s have an air hose ...

Gay Marriage

Posted on May 21, 2013

This old gay marriage malarkey is getting a bit over the top isn't it?

Is Politics Becoming Interesting Again?

Posted on May 7, 2013

You have to admit that politics as a subject has suffered from major apathy in recent years. There have been two major parties who have been squabbling over the ground of middle England for at least a decade now and it gets to the point where you can't calculate who is positioned where. It is fair to say that there are Tories who are almost left of centre and New Labour politicians passing them like ships in the night; it is really confusing ...
