| Mugabe Manages Even More Bizarre Economics In Zimbabwe The title could also say: or how to starve the people of a country. An extraordinary situation is developing in Zimbabwe.

| New Harry Potter movie does well at the box office The latest Harry Potter film is taking in the dollars, according to CNN, as it even topples Spider-Man 2 off its perch. It has become the highest Wednesday single-day ticket sale phenomena in box-office record. And the knock on effect is that the... ( added 1 year 133 days ago.) |
| Al Gore and Live Earth Isn’t it amazing how vocal the doom-sayers are, and all the time. They never let up. What is it with them. I have often wondered at the folk that are around that always have to tell you that it won’t work, waste of time, bad idea, not worth the... ( added 1 year 135 days ago.) |

| the End of Things As We Know Them What are the things that surround you that you know are going to be history in the next couple of years? I have always thought that I would not want to invest in a Video Rental shop as their days would be numbered. However, that was a good 20... ( added 1 year 140 days ago.) |
| Purity Rings For Girls The question of religious conviction, or the symbols that represent these convictions, made the news in the UK recently.

| John Travolta and his dance with Princess Diana There is this lovely little story in the British Daily Mirror where John Travolta is quoted as saying that he had some help when he was experiencing a real dip in his acting career. In fact he is even prepared to say that it was like being reborn.... ( added 1 year 154 days ago.) |
| The Children of the World Are the Responsibility of Everybody Sometimes a single image reflects a view of mankind that touches the heart and brings tears to the eyes.

| Watching Steve Jobs’ Keynote at WWDC2007 I devoted this morning to watching and listening to Steve Jobs keynote speech at the WWDC2007. I use the word devote on purpose.

| Stop Criticising Yourself All The Time Somebody once explained to me that we have an invisible parrot sitting on our shoulder that continuously tells us how bad we are. It tells us how we messed up in the interview, totally bombed out during the test, said the wrong thing, scored the... ( added 1 year 164 days ago.) |
| Two Computer Technology Icons Just Having a Chat What do I do for fun? I listen to podcasts. This particular one was an interview session with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs at the D5 conference.

| Unknown band The Zimmers on their way to a hit Imagine a band, a 40-strong group, that records a cover of a song by The Who and it launches on the UK official singles chart at number 26.

| The Wow of the Glastonbury Festival You know your Festival is a success when the tickets numbering 137 500 are sold out within 90 minutes and the line up of artists hasn’t been announced as yet. Two months after the record sell-out, the line up has finally been announced and... ( added 1 year 172 days ago.) |
| Morality and Sex In the 21st Century In the 21st century it still surprises me to have people state that having sex is a moral issue. The moralists state that you are only allowed sex if you are married. Every other occasion is immoral. If you live with a partner, you are not allowed... ( added 1 year 173 days ago.) |
| Gay and Lesbians and Their Children There is the most adorable photograph in the Independent newspaper today. It shows a proud Granny holding her new grandson. And Grandpa slightly behind has a little smirk of pride on his face. He doesn’t want to look too pleased, after all that’s... ( added 1 year 182 days ago.) |
| Don't Be Afraid of Rejection I'm sure you have come up with a great idea in your life. In fact you might even have been in a situation where your great idea was developed by somebody else, totally divorced from your idea, and you see them making a lot of money from it. You... ( added 1 year 186 days ago.) |
| The Search for little Madeleine My heart goes out for this little girl and her parents. It is now 16 or so days since she was taken from her bed and no news is bad news when it has been this long since her abduction. I must really praise the parents for a really intelligent... ( added 1 year 189 days ago.) |
| The Power of the Human Spirit A Colombian policeman has managed to escape after almost nearly nine years as a hostage by left-wing Farc rebels.

| Sprinbok Hamburgers and a Sharks’ Victory When I first moved over from South Africa to the UK, last year, I lived in Surbiton, Surrey. While there, we set up satellite so that we could watch the rugby and it was quite fun to listen to Bobby Skinstad do his thing as a commentator. To think... ( added 1 year 194 days ago.) |
| Paris Hilton gets locked up Would you consider the news that Paris Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail, that newsworthy that it knocks off events such as the war in Iraq or Dafur off the front page of the BBC newsletter today? Well it sure did. And the article itself is... ( added 1 year 202 days ago.) |
| So the US is pulling out of Iraq Does Blair know this? Of course just because the US House of Representatives have approved a bill making further funding of the war in Iraq conditional on a timetable for a US Troop pullout doesn’t mean that this will happen. So Blair can keep on... ( added 1 year 211 days ago.) |
| International Sanctions against Sudan I have never been able to understand the concept of Sanctions.
