Son Of Boaty
A couple of years ago we had the "Boaty McBoatface" scandal, when the public voted to give that name to a polar exploration ship ....
..... but the snotty powers that be refused to accept the democratic vote (how familiar that sounds as Brexit approaches .... or not), and renamed the ship the Sir David Attenborough.

A Dystopian Future
The great Sci-Fi author Isaac Asimov once proposed a future for humanity, set roughly three millennia ahead in time, where humanity had colonised several worlds (this future including a vastly overpopulated earth).
Some different human cultures were envisioned. In some, each individual person never left their habitations, while in others, huge numbers lived in underground domed cities, like hives.

No Humour From Old Comrades
Bulgaria's Soviet Army memorial in the centre of the nations capital Sofia, is seen as a memorial to the 'brave soviet soldiers,' who liberated Bulgaria in 1944 by the Russians.
Whereas Bulgarians don't see it in quite the same light. Many say it celebrates the occupation of the country by the Soviet army in 1944, right up until 199,1 when communism collapsed in Europe.

Love Hurts
Its an interesting fact that we are biologically hard wired to be unable to relive pain from our memories ...
By that I don't mean that we forget physically hurting ourselves or even being hurt by others, but that our brain refuses to actually recreate the pain, based on our memories ..... and thank god for that small mercy.
Ouch!!! That's Gotta Hurt |

Your Worst Nightmare Writ Large
There are some stories that are so horrific that you can't actually imagine them, except perhaps in the worst of your nightmares or the horror movies.
One of my perennial nightmare fears as a boy, was being threatened with immersion in hot lava or liquid metal, or trapped in an oven or furnace.

Dick v Dyke
Now don't get me wrong ... if you really think that despite biology to the otherwise, you really are a girl, then perhaps you are in some metaphysical sense.
However, until those little biological bits are removed (and even then in some cases) .... I am not sure that its safe to treat you as a woman, just you know, to be on the safe side.

Looking After Their Own
Vested interests and power blocks have a rather dirty habit of looking after their own ...
The often try to ensure that when of their followers or practitioners commits a crime or offence, they don't actually get the punishment that the rest of us might feel the matter deserves.

Shakespeare's Curse
In 1703, Hannah Twynnoy became Britain's first recorded victim of a tiger.
Her grave stone, in Malmesbury Abbey has the epitaph:
In bloom of life, She's snatched from hence, She had not room to make defence;
For Tyger fierce, Took life away, And here she lies, In a bed of clay, Until the Resurrection Day.

The river Thames is foaming with much blood this year .....

Banned Things
A strange number of items or activities have been banned from a surprising number of countries ...
For instance both Ovaltine and Marmite were pulled from the shelves in Denmark in 2011 and 2004 respectively, because they needed to be tested as fortified (added minerals and vitamins). Marmite didn't get approval until 2015 and Ovaltine still awaits it and with Brexit, may never do so.
It was also reported in 2014 that the owner of a British food shop in Canada was ordered to stop selling Marmite, Ovaltine and Irn-Bru because they were said to contain illegal additives.

Spectre of the Brocken
When I recently blogged on the urban legend of the 'Slender Man' .....
I thought that would be the end of the matter. Particularly since the origin of the myth was well known and documented.

The Law That Never Was
One day we may all sit back and laugh about, how a whole 12,000 year old culture nearly wiped itself off the map .....
.... How in order to meet the rules of a 'law' that never was, we had to pander to often violent and non integrating immigrant groups, who thrived due to a quasi policy, introduced by left wing liberals, and which was called 'multiculturalism'.
