Friday Wrap: Stuff We Liked This Week
It’s been a busy week and to wrap it all up we thought that we would mention a few things that caught our attention.
Firstly we should probably mention the huge amount of attention Richard’s post about last weekend’s anti-Scientology rally received. Despite being little more than some really interesting photos it received as much traffic […]

Big Brother (The Mouse Version)
A good friend of mine recently booked a holiday, and asked me to look after her pet mouse, Colin, while she travels.
Now, although I like to think of myself as an animal-friendly type (I am piscetarian, apparently, or in American, pescetarian, so I only hate fish enough to eat them, no other animals), I was […]
