Interview with David Stockman

Absolutely fascinating (and slightly scary) interview here: When will the message get through that it is the state apparatus which destroys prosperity and the well being of ordinary people not ‘greedy bankers’ non-existent ‘capitalism’ or insufficient regulation? Anyway, the message is stay liquid and ultimately buy gold!

Lewdness in upstate New York

More lewdness I’m afraid.   Beginning to think I might have a problem. Dangerous outbreak of foot licking in upstate New York. Thank heaven for the brave boys in blue:- http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/serial-foot-licker-custody-upstate-new-york-police-bust-49-year-old-anthony-parri-inappropriately-touching-young-girls-article-1.1116644

Train that lays its own track. Enjoy:

Laying your own [1]

When does an occasional contributor become a co-author?  Who knows but Peter Horne, who’s already posted a few irreverent looks at life at this site comes up with two vids  – today’s is about a machine which lays its own road.  My first thought was WTF  but watching it with a coffee, it’s sort of [...]

Worst lecture ever

Peter Horne’s at it again on the worst lecture ever given. “Yet more vulgarity I’m afraid”: The lecture, which had an innocuous title along the lines of ‘Vaso-active therapy for erectile dysfunction’ was scheduled as an evening lecture of the Urodynamics Society in the hotel in which I was staying. I was a senior resident, [...]

That f*** word, part 2

In the light of this, more vulgarity, I’m afraid:

The fu** word – a rose by any other name?

A new lady on Environmentalism:

Euroscepticism – a critique [2]

Edward Spalton: In early 2000 a referendum on the Euro currency seemed imminent. New Labour was at the height of its media-manipulative powers. They had delivered a “Yes” result in the Northern Ireland referendum on the Good Friday Agreement by means which I mention here, thanks to leaked documents from the Northern Ireland Office provided [...]
