Robert saw this poster and uploaded a photo of it to Flickr. It contains an incredible number of grammatical errors.

Religion Harms Society
Religious belief can cause damage to a society, contributing towards high murder rates, abortion, sexual promiscuity and suicide, according to research published today. According to the study, belief in and worship of God are not only unnecessary for a healthy society but may actually contribute to social problems. Also It compares the social peformance of… Continue reading Religion Harms Society
University
The reason for this weekend’s trip to Brighton was to move my stepdaughter into Sussex University. She loaded up all of her stuff into her boyfriend’s car on Saturday lunchtime and they drove down together[1]. We followed on the train and by a sheer fluke managed to arrive just as they had finished the unloading.… Continue reading University
Who’s On Brighton Pier
I was in Brighton over the weekend (for reasons I’ll write more about later) and whilst I was there I took the opportunity to visit the new Doctor Who exhibition. It was a bit over-priced for what it was (£6 each!) but it was nice to see a number of the props from the new… Continue reading Who’s On Brighton Pier
London Highwalks
Slowly organising all of my old photos on Flickr. I’ve just created a photo set for a crisps walk we did in November 2002 around the highwalks of the City of London. Must be time for another crisps walk. I suspect I volunteered to organise one…
Suspicious Behaviour on the Tube
Today’s Guardian has an interesting account by David Mery of the day he was arrested by the metropolitan police for acting suspiciously on the tube. This took place the day after the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes in Stockwell station. Mery has a web page where he is keeping a record of the incident… Continue reading Suspicious Behaviour on the Tube
Giving Books Away
Interesting piece by Ian McEwan about what happened when he tried to give away books to strangers in a park near his house. Every young woman we approached – in central London practically everyone seems young – was eager and grateful to take a book. Some riffled through the pile murmuring, “Read that, read that,… Continue reading Giving Books Away
Politicians’ Families
Two nicely contrasting stories in today’s papers about members of politicians’ families. Firstly, theguardian has used the freedom of information act to get lots of good dirt on how Mark Thatcher abused the fact that his mother was Prime Minister. This is, of course, exactly how the freedom of information act should be used. And… Continue reading Politicians’ Families
Installing Windows XP
One day I’ll learn that I should have nothing to do with any version of Windows. It always ends with me swearing at hardware. As mentioned before, I’ve got a new Dell PC. Which frees up the old one to go off to university with my stepdaughter. Neither of my PCs have Windows installed, but… Continue reading Installing Windows XP
Badger
I spent the weekend staying with friends in a small Devon village. It’s nice to get away from the city every once in a while. One of the bonuses of the weekend was seeing my first real-life badger. Unfortunately it was dead, having been hit by a car. We did, however, get a good view… Continue reading Badger
