NHS or German Health Care?
Posted on April 4th, 2011 by James Higham
Does this sound OK to you? After completing a major study on the use of placebos, the German Medical Association recently concluded the fake pills sometimes work better than real medicines and recommended that doctors give them out more often — even without explicitly telling their patients. I’m sure Dr. Mengele would approve of lying [...]

Days of innocence
Posted on April 3rd, 2011 by James Higham
The 70′s overproduced, orchestral pop left me cold, all except for one song. The vid’s naff though the girl is something [and by the way, looks not unlike WN2]: Going back a bit further:

Laetare Sunday
Posted on April 3rd, 2011 by James Higham
As usual, the secular interpretation of holy days overtakes and then ignores the holy day itself. Such is the case with All Hallow’s Eve. It’s also the case with the 4th Sunday in Lent, known by many as “Mother’s Day” but actually a case of people returning to their mother church for a service to [...]

Pauline Pierce and Aleister Crowley
Posted on April 3rd, 2011 by James Higham
Sometimes the thing you’ve been pursuing turns out to be a red herring. Such was the tale of Barbara [Pierce] Bush being Crowley’s daughter with Pauline Robinson. Personally, I couldn’t care less. She does look more like him than dear old Marvin [Pauline's magnate husband] but that’s hardly proof. The timeline certainly allows it: Then [...]

The Generations
Posted on April 1st, 2011 by James Higham
Lord Somber asked for a Venn Diagram. I couldn’t manage that but this little chart illustrates it: 1946 Boomers 1964 Gen X 1982 Gen Y 2000 Gen Z 2018 Obviously the names are different in different places, e.g. Generation Jones and apart from 1946, the years vary somewhat, as do the length of the generations.

Lufthansa euros
Posted on April 1st, 2011 by James Higham
Like this one: German investigators have raided the Bundesbank and offices of national airline Lufthansa in what is described as the biggest euro-fraud since the currency was introduced. Police allege at least €20 million worth of scrapped coins were sent to forgers in China where they were minted again and brought back to Germany. Lufthansa [...]

Share the wealth
Posted on April 1st, 2011 by James Higham
From 13th Spitfire, on the breaker and enterer in F & M: Now, pay attention at the back, especially the youth that I spotted in the Fortnums atrium holding a sign saying “Share the Wealth” without any apparent sense of irony. “The” That’s the critical word. Why, for what conceivable reason, would that youth believe [...]
