It’s difficult to imagine a story more qualified to shock and horrify than one involving the violent death of children, but a more shocking story has been found: The deserving violent death of children. The harrowing but entirely justified atrocity took place when a gentleman by the name of Elisha was on his way to the City of Bethel.… [Read more…]

A third of all marriages in Kyrgyzstan are kidnaps. Some brides are kidnapped by men they know, others are kidnapped by total strangers. Most remain with their kidnapper as his new wife for the rest of their lives. Why would a woman allow herself to be married to a man who has forcibly stolen her? A… [Read more…]

Fourth rate minor celebrity and walking insult to acting Danny Dyer is arguably one of the last human beings on Earth from whom any sensible person would seek advice. Indeedy, the only positive thing to be said about the appropriately named Dyer was that nothing he did could ever be as bad as any of the films… [Read more…]

According to 10% of Americans those individuals most concerned with protecting the environment pumped 4.9 million barrels of crude oil into the ocean. The basis for this conclusion is the following: No evidence whatsoever! The conclusion also lacks a plausible motive or any explanation as to how the outcome was achieved. So far we have “evidence”… [Read more…]

I get sick of guys claiming they can make the Earth move for me so it’s really quite refreshing to hear a guy giving credit to the girls for a change. “Many women who do not dress modestly … lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes,”. Hojatoleslam… [Read more…]

If I believed in a benevolent God I’d probably thank her for Sarah Palin. Contrary to popular belief there are a number of sane Republicans who may have considered voting for McCain had it not been for the possibility of an ill-informed moose hunter becoming the President. Even McCain aides have started to reveal the fear that… [Read more…]

It’s got to feel pretty terrible to potentially kill your nephew’s chances of the White House, a feeling I can well understand. Hard it will be for me to forget the horror of vomiting at my little nieces nativity play. The shocked intake of breathe and “Is that your Auntie Lucy over there covered in sick?” comments from… [Read more…]

This week John Cleese has amused me with a witty little ditty on the witless dick Sean Hannity. I also found a fab little blog that anyone with an ego the size of Sean Hannity ought to read, just to put things into a little perspective, and spent far too long giggling ridiculously at the… [Read more…]

To steal from a greater mind than mine, why is it Creationists always seem so unevolved? Ambling around online has led me to a blogger who, for what he lacks in humanity makes up in spades in breathtaking ignorance and sliminess. An example from said blog: “The United States of America is a Christian Nation,… [Read more…]

The scent of Chanel is actually whale shit, the partially undigested beaks of squids. As someone who would happily bathe in Chanel but wouldn’t be so keen on diving into a pool of partially digested squid beak this is a truth I’d rather not face up to. Sadly, not accepting a truth doesn’t make it… [Read more…]

Such a lazy lady I’ve been but such is life when life is so lovely. I’m sure everything will go tits up crappy again soon and I’ll be back to blogging and sobbing, but for now occasional posts is the best I can do. The best I can do isn’t as fab as this admittedly. I… [Read more…]

Fundies say the darndest things is a little cul-de-sac of the web compiling some fascinating thoughts, supposedly all true. A couple of my favs include: “In my opinion, if an animal in the wild like a swan is caught being gay it should be shot on sight, disinfected, and used to feed the poor” “so you… [Read more…]

After enthusiasticaly voting for the chance to have a black President, Americans now seem to have cooled on the idea of actually having one. That said, Mr Obama hardly helped his cause this week. For what the thoughts of a slightly tipsy Brit matter, I thought the New Yorker cover was quite blah. It mocked… [Read more…]

Mr. C: Do you speak English? Me: Yes, I do. Mr. C: So what does “misology” mean? Me: I don’t know. Mr C: Ha! Then you don’t speak English! Me: (confused) Umm…I don’t follow you. Mr C: (Triumphant) You don’t know what misology means, therefore you don’t speak English. Me: No, hang on…What does misology… [Read more…]

A blog I happened to stumble upon Atheists: Can You Discount Every Single Testimony of Miracles and Answered Prayers? The following are deemed to be miracles by the blogger. He asks “Can the atheist or naturalist who deny the existence of God or supernatural phenomena claim that every single of these testimonies is false or mistaken,… [Read more…]

Here’s what I’d like to hear real Christians say: “I know God is stronger than the Devil and I have faith in my children to see the truth and faith in my God to show them!” A statement like that would show everyone how utterly certain you are in the realness of God! Sadly, there… [Read more…]

So there’s this book, a big one, and it comes with a big comfy chair. And the big, big book has everything! Every teeny-weeny detail ever. But more than that, every detail is about you.

Anne Coulter - enriches every debate like a turd in a water-cooler. Has there ever been a more wretched mis-use of oxygen? I don’t want to bash America – it’s the land of the free and free re-fills after all – but surely something is broken somewhere when people buy her books? Shampoo commercials, possibly – I do feel… [Read more…]

“The Bible is the word of God. Why? Because, the Bible says that the Bible is the word of God”. There is no evidence , there is only faith, and so good Christians may proudly state: “I believe in something for which there is absolutely no evidence”. What about Evolution? Sure, it’s a cumulative process which… [Read more…]

I’m feeling quietly fab at the moment, and I haven’t even been drinking, (Yaay!). The shockingly expensive chocolate box I bought myself today has been happily decimated and I’m feeling snug under an enormous duvet. (Outside of the duvet it’s about -13 degrees but I’m trying to ignore that bit). It’s a shame so much… [Read more…]

I’m in the shower on Saturday night and I know what I’m going to do. Know as I throw my head back, run my fingers through my hair, let the hot water splash over my face. I don’t know who I’m going to let have me. I just know I want rougher hands to be here.… [Read more…]

Dwelling in a hovel, paying rent to a slug. I never expected to be living the dream, but even the dream where I go to work naked and get eaten by my childhood rabbit would be preferable to the reality right now. I really hope reincarnation is real. I promise not to fuck the next… [Read more…]

“Hi Mr. Drayton, can I come in?” I smiled weakly, pushing my handbag back over my shoulder, hoping the request wouldn’t be turned down. Mr. Drayton took some time to answer.

Feeling a little bit like Cinderella right now. All the other Fashionistas have flocked to Paris for haute Couture week, and none of them are remotely as fabulous as me.

The tall dark-haired beauty had glided down the escalator, weaved snakelike through the crowd, irritated by each of the little people endlessly surrounding her. Public transport was unfamiliar to her, she was used to taking taxis, yet despite the crowd she was able to avoid the usual bumps and sidesteps. Confidence in her beauty empowered… [Read more…]

Carrie stood at the edge of the crowd, nervously pushing her hair back over her ear, her face pretty but anxious. She looked down at herself, checking her clothes one last time as the noise of the crowd, mostly teenage boys, grew. She stood on her toes, stretching up to see above the sea of… [Read more…]

Feeling homesick in your own hometown is sickening. This is my World right now. The tuning-out-of-everyday-conversation-thing chimes with me in particular. Chimes with me like a drum ‘n’ bass Big-fucking-Ben, in fact. The way some people witter and complain and blame so inanely makes violent imagery swim through my brain. I want to be left… [Read more…]

Eyes glanced up from the poolside as the pair passed by the palm trees, long slender legs and graceful strides, sun-kissed bodies on display. The rays beat down on the clear water where men shielded their eyes but watched, the smooth motion of lithe bodies move. Splashes and quiet chatter were all that disturbed the tranquil… [Read more…]

You’re sitting on the London to Newcastle train late at night, you’re tired and the train is almost deserted.

The race for the White House is absolutely gripping, already, and I’m not even American.

There’s a flower called Yipilipticus, which grows in the rain forests of Ecuador and Peru. It’s a delicate and beautiful flower which bears a fruit, small and red, for just five days every year, mid-way through June. The fruit is scented, a delightful fragrance, and is deliciously sweet to taste. However, those who taste the… [Read more…]

A small stuffy staff room in a ragtag rundown school. Two wandering souls sat either side of a rickety table on it’s last (and presumably) only legs. The sounds of scribbling filling the room.

She was hiding in her own shadow, that’s how I remember her. Ashen-faced and cold, which I know because she touched me. And it was strange, because it didn’t feel strange, and I wouldn’t ever usually let anyone touch me, let alone a someone like that. I couldn’t see the barman because the bar was too… [Read more…]
