I woke up this morning thinking: we are all addicted to drugs or to a ‘drug’ of some sort.

No Comments »The Tom Cruise film Minority Report depicts a world in which the authorities have developed a system for detecting future crime long before any actual event had occurred. Then they would lock away the criminal and play a video-like record of the crime they would have committed!
I sometimes feel I am already living in that [...]

No Comments »On Saturday, July 19, 2008 I bought some cherries from the Notting Hill branch of Marks and Spencer store. They looked fresh and delicious behind the refrigerated box lit by pleasant, cool blue lighting. The package said they were good until July 22.

No Comments »It is natural for some people to put up a resistance to things and concepts they are not familiar with. This is what “keeping it real” means to them.

For instance, a woman who [...]

No Comments »Excuse that headline: it was asking for it! I mean the world’s two fastest sprinters in history arriving for their big pre-Olympic news conference in London on Friday by speedboat, what are the odds? About a million (or two!) to one, I’d say.

No Comments »I agree with Fox hunting, but only when the animal concerned is a huge, cable network that peddles racist coverage as news.

No Comments »I was delighted to be asked to sit on an important government backed panel of assessors to decide the fate of some 28 media-related organisations that had submitted projects aimed at under-privileged youths.

No Comments »I made two huge mistakes today; both involve trying to be helpful to a particular female friend.
I made mistake number one when I suggested she should visit Primark on Oxford Street as they sold good quality clothes for ‘very little money.’ You could also use the word ‘cheap’ instead of ‘very little money’. Anyway, she [...]
