16.8.2024 20:29Comment on Long live the CD! by You, me and thee – Self-Indulgent TwaddleI don’t really listen to the radio. My wife, who owns two radios for the kitchen and her office, regularly has music on while she is working, and will often gently mock me for my lack of musical knowledge as I don’t really listen to the radio.

29.5.2024 08:01Comment on Hail, Luddites! by The tablet is mightier than the pen – Self-Indulgent TwaddleIf you take a look at my posting frequency over the last year or so, you will probably notice my rate has slowed (a lot). Usually when my rate slows, it is because I am being distracted from my writing. In previous years this would have been work or study. This year it has been … Continue reading The tablet is mightier than the pen

1.4.2024 17:40Comment on The Non-Believer and the Church by Care to take a leaflet? – Self-Indulgent TwaddleWe’ve all been there. You are walking down the street, minding your own business, and a clinically cheerful chugger with a bolt-on grin moves to block your path asking for “just a moment of your time”. If you are lucky, your averted gaze and mumbled “no thank you” sees them seeking out their next victim. … Continue reading Care to take a leaflet?

By having children, they will at some point suffer, no matter what we do to minimise that. Inflicting suffering on someone is unethical, so having a child is unethical (and I know, that is an oversimplification of the antinatalist position but it will do here). […]

Barrie I usually try my best to avoid reading billboards. When I’m crawling through traffic with little to keep my interest, I can find myself slipping from my lofty anti-advertising perch. Today was one such day. The billboard which caught my eye came … Continue reading Is a cow a human?
