With an unfair reputation for dirtiness and gluttony, pigs are in fact lively, inquisitive and affectionate creatures. It’s claimed that the average pig is […]
Well, I’ve had one of the most unpleasant days I’ve ever had and, that’s compared to most days being pretty damn shitty to begin with.
A while back, I dug out a letter I’d kept since 1990, from Joan Jones, the (apparently still) curator of the Minton Museum, with regard to two coffee cans and […]

Perfect for a Sunday, but I’m not labelling this one as silliness.
So it’s not really a religion. But that’s the whole point. You don’t buy into the whole God thing … or you just don’t care. You may feel very alone in a world full of religious people. […]
On the other hand, reading this list of questions what are the chances that coffee is the reason for all my ills?
Do you consume more than two cups of coffee in a day? Yes.
Do you feel fatigued on and off during the day? Yes.
