I feel I should comment on James Cameron’s claim to have found the tomb of Jesus and his family. This claim seems to be based on two things. Firstly the names on the tombs and secondly DNA testing of the remains. Obviously I haven’t seen the documentary, but I can’t see how either of these… Continue reading The Lost Tomb of Jesus

“Free” Banking
Today the Daily Mail is very angry about the possible end of free banking. Banks and building societies are moving to kill off free banking as they prepare to unveil record profits of more than £40 billion. Industry leaders claim compulsory monthly fees on current accounts, which are common in North America and Europe, are… Continue reading “Free” Banking
Virgin Radio Links
James Cridland from Virgin Radio has written to me pointing out that they have a number of radio streams that I might like to add to my BBC Radio Streams page. Of course, not being BBC streams, they don’t really fit on that page and I’m not really interested in building a complete directory of… Continue reading Virgin Radio Links
Gone To The Dogs
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

Never a Truer Word Spoken
From the BBC “Have You Say” discussion about the death of Anna Nicole Smith she may have had her knockers, but it still is a human life lost I can’t make up my mind whether or not the writer was serious.
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”
Counting Films
How many films have you seen? That’s not a question I’ve ever pondered before. But it came up in conversation earlier this week when a friend was telling me about Listal. A new web site that he had been playing with. Listal is aimed at the High Fidelity geek audience. It’s a web site for… Continue reading Counting Films
BBC Bias?
On Monday, Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre gave a speech where he ranted about the “cultural Marxism” of the BBC. He was, of course, pretty much completely wrong. And today we have a well-written piece by Lance Price pointing out many of Dacre’s errors. And as a bonus, he does it by having a little… Continue reading BBC Bias?
