Big Big Cat Problem

I once posted about cats stuck up trees .....

Dead Cats Up Trees Are Rare

..... and the advice from the fire service, which was that they would come down once you left them .... after all they got up, and when exactly was the last time you saw a cat skeleton up a tree?

Brian The Brain Tumour

Simone Giertz is a US immigrant, inventor and video blogger.

Simone Giertz - Vlogger ...

She has a YouTube fan base of around 1.5 million, who watch her put her 'bad robots' through their paces, until they invariably go horribly wrong and make a terrible mess before they expire or cease to function.

A Boys Own Story

There's been some talk about mechanised warfare via drones and satellites making one operator a one man army, and when I was a kid, the owner of a 'Johnny Seven' gun was a 'one man army' of the ilk that aged around 10 I lusted to be.

The Only Toy For A Boy And One Man Army!

  .... but my parents refused to buy me one .... scarred for life!

History And Events

History is often seen as a series of cyclical events, repeating themselves over and over .....

SDP Formation 1981 - Gang Of Four - Last Labour Split.

So it also appears to be for political parties.

Fit n Fat

Mark Wahlberg is a 47-year-old movie actor and superstar, who works very hard to keep that status at the top of Hollywood's leading men, which involves much personal denial.

Wahlberg And Brazil - Peas From Same Pod?

While, Alan Brazil, is a radio presenter in the UK, famous for liking the good things in life and not for stinting in any way on life's offerings.

Medusa Door

An automated door alarm fitted over shops doors, shouts at anyone who triggers it when its armed.

Medusa Liked Her New Job .....

It tells them that they have been detected and tells them to move away, or the police will be called.

Outbreak Of Common Sense

Apparently, despite decades of the strident 'Wimmin' of feminist organisations claiming otherwise, most women (fewer than one in five young women questioned in the US and UK), would call themselves a feminist.

Feminists Represented Far More
Women In The Early Days .....

Worse than that, they don't like the term much either, despite its recent #Me Too high profile.

Je Suis Non Regret

As IS meets its final dissolution of territory (it may well have lost its last land area by the time this is posted), we face the inevitable question of what is going to happen to the 'foreign' fighters and supporters who flooded out of Europe and elsewhere, to join IS in Syria and Iraq.

ISIS Caliphate Collapse .....

They and their families, all think that they should be allowed to just come back here, and get housed and with welfare benefits etc, as though they have done nothing wrong.

Star Fan

Star Wars fan Paul Parker of Ashburton Devon likes his town ...

The A38 All Terrain Scout Transport

...... so he put up a life-sized model a 'Scout Walker' from the movies on the A38 road nearby.

Tajikistan Tales

Tajikistan is one of those strange post soviet states in the middle of the Asian Muslim area defined as the stans - Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan etc ....

The Cockpit Of 'Stans' ....

Eighty years of communism almost, but not quite, eradicated Islam and so the drift back into the Muslim world has been sporadic, with many of the citizens still hankering for some of the Soviet years, while others are looking towards a Sharia future.

Medical Morals

When Politicians / Lawyers / Religious and Medical Ethics Committees are allowed to determine medical questions about when and if treatments should, or shouldn't be applied, then common sense can be a victim.

Medical Decisions Are Often Muddied By Other Considerations

I am not simply talking about the public right to die (assisted suicide) campaigns (which the public actually back, but which our cowardly politicians refuse to legislate for).

DNA MisMatches

Marrying your cousin, is considered ideal and actively encouraged some cultures and communities, especially in the Indian subcontinent.

Cousin marriage generally, is also popular in Middle East, where it accounts for over half of all marriages in some countries.

Fowl Abuse

Parrots have featured in these posts before.
 

Fowl Mouthed Jessie

So it will be no surprise when I include another one in the posts.

The attempts by third world scammers to part us from our money never cease to amaze me ...

Phishing Is Obvious Really

...but even funnier is how bad the attempts are.

Perpetual Debt

More than one in ten people in the UK believe that they will never be free of debts ....

Debt Worries UK

.... according to a poll / survey run by MoneySupermarket.com which involved 1,000 people.

The Steel Butterfly

Anna Chennault was one of the most influential power brokers in the world ....

Anna Chennault

... yet, you, like me will likely never have heard of her.
