I jokingly accused a former girlfriend of having a delusional mind the other day because it didn’t matter what the reality of any situation was, she always seem to only believe the thoughts in her head!
A good example of this was when she used to say: “you’re okay with me now but as soon as [...]

Now, before you swallow the wrong end of the stick I’m not talking about the kind of extremism where I will go out and bomb innocent people just to make a point. Oh, no! I’m talking about the realisation that in any situation [...]

No Comments »Do you have any idea what it’s like to be accused of something you just didn’t do? How about to be imprisoned for years for a crime you didn’t commit? Most people are not able to answer this question at all…
This issue is firmly in the public eye currently following the £706,000 ($1,412,000) compensation payout [...]

No Comments »It is a very depressing time living in the UK and in London in particular. Maybe this is in keeping with what’s happening in the rest of the world in places like the USA.

2 Comments »I’ve been seeing lots of (usually white) people looking so tanned these days and I’m thinking: gee, they’ve been taking advantage of the relatively huge amount of sun we’ve been having lately.
Then a voice in my head prodded me and said: “They’re wearing fake tans.” I should have guessed from their dark orange appearance that [...]

No Comments »Unfortunately the commercial world has long recognised that if people are fed enough of anything for long enough they will get addicted to it. To them addiction is good because it helps generate repeat business and that’s good.

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!

No Comments »You got nothing to give? Then you’ll have nothing to receive!
I’ve lost count of the number of times selfish people say things that show they don’t understand one of life’s most basic tenets: you reap what you sow!
You cannot plant corn and expect to reap avocado! If you plant nothing then you reap nothing. [...]
