We decided that it would be nice to eat at the pub, earlier today. It was a lovely day, and we had a lovely time – they do an excellent Sunday lunch, and thankfully it’s very reasonable too. And at some point, the topic turned from watching ospreys fishing, to the possibility of teleportation. And [...]

Today has been a bit of a boring day. And as is becoming increasingly more often, when I’m home alone with not much to do, I browse the internet, and see where it takes me. Probably because of my recent trip to Cambridge, today I found myself looking at all the mortgage news I can [...]

Michael Crabtree is threatening to hold out the entire year, and re-enter the draft next year. This is probably the single most annoying thing a player has done since I started watching the game. As a general rule, it really infuriates me when NFL players hold out on their contracts. Now, this is probably nothing [...]

I’m glad there is some NFL to look forward to this weekend, because so far it’s not got off to the most amazing of starts. Today, I’ve been looking at houses in Cambridge, which ordinarily would be quite nice I suppose, but it has left me with a little bit of a sour taste in [...]

Earlier on today, I was browsing the internet, and after a while I stumbled across quite an interesting article. It argues that some animals (and dolphins, of course, are among them) show parallels with human meta-cognition. Essentially, this means that some animals can think like we do: they can “reflect upon, monitor or regulate their [...]

I’ve come to the decision that I’ll apply for some journalism training. It took a while, because I can be very deliberate when it comes to these sort of big, expensive decisions, and I wasn’t sure on it because I know people who have a similar degree to me, and have gone straight into it [...]

It seems the final of America’s Got Talent took place the other day, and on it, quite interestingly, was Susan Boyle, of British-version fame. I say interesting because she didn’t even win our version of the show, and yet she seems to be enjoying more success than the people that did.
And now that it comes [...]

Over the weekend, the NFL opening weekend held a lot of excitement if you’re an American football fan. There were a lot of surprises too – surprising outcomes, surprising scorers, surprising injuries – and, chief among them, at least for me, was this game-winning catch by Brandon Stokley. Denver was losing 7-6 with the whole [...]

My friend is about to travel around South America, and I must admit I’m very jealous. She’s quite the fan of travelling; I met up with her earlier today, because, fleetingly, she’s back in the UK. I find that I need to make the most of these passing visits, because otherwise you never know when [...]

Earlier today, I decided to flick through the recent news articles online; it was one in particular that caught my attention, because it was so unusual. Rabbits are actively seeking out snakes, and killing them – or so it appears. Now, the speed rabbits breed at is well documented. They are everywhere. So the thought [...]
