My dear sister texted me yesterday evening telling me to go on skype because she had something to tell me. It sounded rather serious and I assumed she had some serious gossip. But what she told me was far too serious to be called gossip. The second child of my eldest cousin on my mums... Continue Reading →
Bring On the Brilliance
Due to human convention there are certain times and occasions when it's deemed appropriate to utter words of wisdom filled with happy wishes or empathy. Like a wedding, the arrival of a new-born, someone passing on or -how appropriate- at the turn of the year. Those words of wisdom, in most cases, don't tend... Continue Reading →
Let the Light Return
This year I genuinely made an attempt to do it like most people do it; I had booked myself a ticket to Lowlands Country to spend Christmas with the whole family. I hadn't been to Lowlands Country for Christmas in years and my reasoning was that if I didn't go this year I wouldn't go... Continue Reading →
Land of Confusion
After more WikiLeaks revelations, LibDem committing mass betrayal and the return of Arctic conditions I have been thinking for some time what happened to my trust in government. Growing up in Lowlands country I was raised with the idea that the government is there to take care of the people. Corruption happened in far, uncivilised... Continue Reading →
The Fight For Food (and Knowledge) UK Style
As a few of you regular readers, bless you lot, might remember, about a year ago I shared my experience of a trip to a hyper market in Egypt which can be, despite all the abundance and pretentiousness , quite a struggle. Now, after hiding indoors for three days since snow has been coming like... Continue Reading →
Wonderfully Wicked WikiLeaks
Despite dropping temperatures the heat is on in the world of international politics and media. What a treat those girls and boys from WikiLeaks are giving us, Christmas has indeed come early. As an IR (International Relations) student, a news junkie and a lover of gossip I am rather distracted at the moment from writing... Continue Reading →
Unclear and Present Danger
My mind functions a bit like the one of a five-year old; I am easily entertained, easily bored and I'll ask you why you have a big fat nose if that is really the case. I am also quite easily excited or appalled. And appalled I was when I watched Michael Moore's Capitalism: a Love... Continue Reading →
Either You’re With Us Or You’re With the Culture Terrorists
A few days ago I went to the opera with my-gayer-than-gay-friend Michau. There is so much cultural activity going on in London which you sometimes tend to take for granted. There is no time, no money or one is just too self-obsessed with one's London life. But after a serious cultural dry spell... Continue Reading →
Summer’s End
A few weeks ago when temperatures reached 20 plus degrees and I was wearing my flip flops as if I was still in Egypt, I was convinced we were going to enjoy a freak autumn; a New England fall with colourful leaves and plenty of sunshine. I guess global warming is really rearing its ugly... Continue Reading →
In the Beginning There Was the Word
Now that I have come out as a bit of a language geek I like to share my thoughts on two issues I have connected to the word; Jesus freaks and librarians. I think I am a pretty good fairy and on the karma scale of things I like to think that I'm not doing... Continue Reading →
