I failed to get in to Steve Jones’s lecture at the Royal Society last night. Unfortunately, I didn’t fail to get in until I had been standing in the rain for over half an hour. Apparently there was room for 500 people in the hall and I estimate that at least 200 were turned away.… Continue reading Why Creationism is Wrong and Evolution is Right

Trackback
Over the last few days, this server has come under attack from spammer scum trying to leave fake trackbacks that point to their nasty little web sites in order to increase their Google ranking.

Rachel Meets the Home Secretary
Rachel has written an account of her meeting with Charles Clarke. Sounds like it was pretty productive all in all.
Tube Delays
This morning the BBC news warned me that my part of the Northern Line was suspended because of “overrunning engineering work.” However, it seems that “overrunning engineering work” was a bit of a euphemism. I subscribe to a tube alert SMS service and the message I got from that was a little more honest. SEVERE… Continue reading Tube Delays
PledgeBank
Of course we all know that PledgeBank is a wonderful thing. But now it seems that even Tony Blair is getting involved.
Don’t Vote Labour
Backing Blair are back on the warpath, encouraging people to not vote Labour in the local elections. There’s a catchy song too.
