Dudes!

Where on earth do you guys come from?
Fourth Edition was started last year after a six-month-ish blog hiatus. Earlier the same year my then blog, Bookish, had been deleted by my then web host (others had similar problems with the company and were far more vocal than me - good on ya, Ras). [...]

Revelations

In January, Cindy Jacobs, a co-founder of an American prayer movement and host of the TV show God Knows, had a prophecy come to her. The voice of God warned Cindy about the troubles ahead for global economy.
And lo, on October 29 Cindy and her fellow believers went to Wall Street and prayed in [...]

Words Fail Me

Worse, Palin’s routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric’s questions for her “less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media.” At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the [...]

Crossing The Line

Yesterday someone I knew roughly fifteen years ago wrote to me via Facebook. She asked me if I were dying because she had noticed my status updates on Facebook (and quite possibly this blog) and was, I quote, sooo worried about me!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes it is very, very difficult to live in another country when one of your closest friends is going through something horrible. I feel utterly powerless and wish I could fly back to Copenhagen to lend my support.

A Serious Post On Politics, Sorry

Statistically there is a twenty percent chance that Sarah Palin will have to act as President of the USA someday - a fact based upon presidential history* - or an even greater chance if you also factor in McCain’s age, his medical history and his unwillingness to release current medical records. Bearing that in mind, [...]

Knitting Anarchy!

My knitting group has been asked by Beanscene not to come back due to “disruptive” behaviour!
Let me just repeat that: my knitting group has been asked by Beanscene not to come back due to “disruptive” behaviour. So, spending around £7-10 per head, sitting around a table and knitting for 90 minutes every other Tuesday can [...]

I Thought Turkey Was The In-Flight Meal

A family who were bound for a week’s holiday in Lanzarote are back home after a check-in desk mix-up meant they caught a flight to Turkey instead. (..) Mr Coray said they had not realised their mistake because their boarding pass stated only Bodrum airport and not that it was in Turkey.

Called You Last Night from Glasgow..

This is one of the funniest film reviews I have ever seen. I heart Mark Kermode. Stay tuned for his attempt at being Swedish.

In Which I Quote A 70s Icon

I never thought I’d quote Peter Frampton, buffon’d singer of the ’70s, but in the words of the man who made one of the best selling live albums of all time and wrote the winner of Eurovision 2008*, oh baby, baby it’s a small world.
I’m surfing Ravelry when I come across a pattern by Slagt [...]
