The Daily Express is in apoplectic mood today having discovered roadsigns in the UK that are written in Polish. The way they discuss it anyone would think that it’s one of the signs of the apocalypse listed in the Book of Revelation. Even better is the reaction of their readers on the comments page. I… Continue reading Gone To The Dogs

BarCamp
Coo. There’s a London Barcamp this weekend. I was supposed to be in Brighton this weekend so I didn’t bother trying to get a ticket. My plans have now changed and I’ll be in London. So I thought I’d try to get a ticket. The web site said that thirty more tickets would be available… Continue reading BarCamp

Play Nicely
Oh look, the jews and the muslims are pummelling the crap out of each other in Jerusalem again. Not sure why the christians aren’t involved. Maybe they overslept today or something. If they can’t share their toys nicely someone should lock the toys away so that no-one can play with them.
CNN on Atheism
A few days ago, CNN ran a segment on Paula Zahn Now where they discussed atheism. Unfortunately they forgot to include any atheists (or anyone who knew anything about atheism) on the panel. You can read the transcript online or watch the whole thing courtesy of YouTube. This strange omission was noted on a couple… Continue reading CNN on Atheism
“The Chatroom Language that Spells Danger for Your Child”
The Daily Mail fearlessly exposes the secret language that paedophiles are using to tempt your children into unspeakable acts. Or, perhaps it was a slow news day and a lazy journalist just decided it was time for another “dangers of the internet” story. Oh, I know there are real dangers out there, and children do… Continue reading “The Chatroom Language that Spells Danger for Your Child”
