700 Comments!
Posted on April 5th, 2010 by James Higham
As hard to stop as a steam train, Cherie charges past 700 comments and we can only stand by at the side of the line and salute as she goes by, showing no sign whatsoever of running out of steam.

The power of self-criticism
Posted on April 5th, 2010 by James Higham
Women have always controlled the relationship. The reason there is so much instability now is because so many women’s expectations have changed in certain fundamental ways: 1. The peddlers of all that is twisted, the same people who control the countries’ politics, drug trade, porn trade and corruption have brought their own hi-camp sex-party culture [...]

Well done, Chris Grayling
Posted on April 5th, 2010 by James Higham
I’ve met Chris Grayling, I like Chris Grayling, despite his knuckling down under Cameron, as the rest of them have done – party over principle. Yet he came out with a truism – that B&B owners can decide whomever they damn well want to have at their place … or not. I don’t care if [...]

David Cameron
Posted on April 5th, 2010 by James Higham
Everyone’s been saying it, I’ve been saying it since 2007 – just how many people does it take? It is worth reminding ourselves of something. This is what friends of the Conservative party have got for five years of “detoxifying” insults, sustained political cowardice and a leadership-led abandonment of every issue of grassroots importance. This [...]

Freedom
Posted on April 4th, 2010 by James Higham
Freedom, freedom – that’s what it’s all about. Like a mirage, if you reach out for it, it will disappear; like love, if you grasp for it, it recedes into the distance and is replaced only by bitterness. The only way to freedom is to give it up for another and then it comes back [...]

Telemark
Posted on April 4th, 2010 by James Higham
Telemark is a technique of turning which also extends to the boots, bindings and skis – it’s just a different way of skiing. The choices have largely been alpine skiing with the rock-solid boots and bindings, facilitating super-fast times downhill but requiring lifts [and crowds] to get back up … and nordic, with the thin [...]

In sepulchris vitam donavit.
Posted on April 4th, 2010 by James Higham
Christus resurrexit e mortuis, morte mortem calcavit et entibus in sepulchris vitam donavit. Exultet iam angelica turba caelorum:exultent divina mysteria:et pro tanti Regis victoria tuba insonet salutaris. Gaudeat et tellus tantis irradiata fulgoribus:et, aeterni Regis splendore illustrata,totius orbis se sentiat amisisse caliginem.

Old Nick’s guide to the resurrection
Posted on April 4th, 2010 by James Higham
Oh, for goodness sake. If you’re going to come out with a statement, then stick with it! If you look at the Pope, Rowan Williams, the politicians, the bankers and in fact anyone else up there these days, it’s just one weak or grubby thing after another – what the hell are they all trying [...]

The problem of the Resurrection
Posted on April 4th, 2010 by James Higham
Detractors of the Resurrection were unable to produce the missing Body so it’s hardly our place to prove the Resurrection – the onus is on them to disprove it. Hume certainly doesn’t start promisingly. First, Hume argues that our “firm and unalterable experience” militates against the reality of miracles. Any claim of miraculous intervention, therefore, [...]

Bolwell Nagari
Posted on April 3rd, 2010 by James Higham
One of the least known of the world’s supercars, the Bolwell Nagari does 0-100 in 5.4 seconds with 6 speed automatic, at 43 mpg. The secret? 950kg body. The downside? $AU198 000. • Construction: Unitary constructed carbon-fibre based occupant safety capsule with lightweight sub-frames front and rear supporting the engine, drive train and suspension components [...]

The long and the short of it …
Posted on April 3rd, 2010 by James Higham
Sonia McMahon has died, aged 78. Loving wife of the treacherous gnome, Billie McMahon whom Gough Whitlam called “Tiberius with a telephone”, she was as elegant and radiant as he was appalling. She came from that era when loyalty to one’s marriage and husband still counted for something. Her most famous moment came in 1971, [...]

Posted on April 3rd, 2010 by James Higham
One of the best analogies for the current situation is Sarah Connor, in Terminator 2, in the above clip. Like Sarah Connor, some of us are shaking that wire fence and shouting, “Lookout, lookout, it’s coming!!” Huh? Obliteration. The political parties The LibDems and Labour already in bed with the global socialists but now the [...]

A leader of the free world

I know that it is the US and not the UK but this guy is one of the leaders of the most powerful Western Nations, the US. Now listen to his incoherent ramblings about Guam. An island tipping over… WTF? What bunch of loonies voted this guy in? Now pray with me for the future [...]

Oberammergau – a wonderful experience to try
Posted on April 2nd, 2010 by James Higham
It’s with the utmost sadness that I realize I can’t go to the Oberammergau Passion Play this year, for financial reasons. Perhaps in 2020, if we’re still around and haven’t blown ourselves up or if society is not then so constricted by the EU which will have metamorphosed into something even nastier by that stage [...]

The most important time of the year in the Christian world began last evening. It’s also the most important time in the opposition’s so keep an eye on your kiddies today and don’t let them out of your sight. * Dr. C. Truman Davis’s famous piece about the crucifixion is sometimes brought out at this [...]

Dati mystery still of interest [juicy pics]
Posted on April 2nd, 2010 by James Higham
Piecing together the Dati story might be a waste of time but any mystery can be of interest when people are at the same time media hoggers and reticent on key details. Seems to me the father issue is fairly clear – Francois-Henri Pinault, Gucci parent company CEO. He doesn’t deny it, she doesn’t deny [...]

Maundy Thursday and the Magdalene factor
Posted on April 1st, 2010 by James Higham
The thing which might escape many people’s consideration is that the issue of whether the figure to the right of Jesus is Mary Magdalene or not would only have been an issue in Leonardo’s mind. The question of how it actually happened at the time can only be gleaned from the original texts. In my [...]

Socialists teach schoolkids the Diane Abbott rap
Posted on April 1st, 2010 by James Higham
Children Of The Revolution Uploaded by Ithascometomyattention. – Watch the latest news videos. The song they’ve been drilled in is about how this Socialist Campaign Group MP is black and everyone, including all the Anglo-Saxon kids in that class, have to embrace her values. Er … is this England? Did that teacher who was politically [...]

Find the true conservatives in your constituency
Posted on April 1st, 2010 by James Higham
This by Gerald Warner: The “cast-iron” lie about the Lisbon Treaty referendum; the endless contradictions on the economy; the insolence towards party workers; the clique dominating the party and lecturing true Conservatives about their outmoded principles; the aggressive complicity with the culturally Marxist PC agenda; the flaky, drama queen women candidates; the sense of entitlement; [...]
