Yum! maybe needs just a little more pepper spray..

Which could also be a way of sidestepping the frozen fuel duty bind she has..

If you opted in to the program..

And it's not a new idea.. Sony networked its PS3 user base to research cancer and Alzheimers treatments back in 2007.

Maybe he's related in some way to that Dunning Kruger chap?

Nogmals bedankt.
Now that I think of it, English bastard likely comes from Latin!

Dank, and agree it's not about cycling. It was the saxon naming of the moth that I found amusing..

Could Chatham House please invite more foreigners with no …. to give, so they will say exactly what they think. Thank you.

It's also odd that Andy Partridge from XTC wrote songs for the last Monkees album a couple of years ago..

Zappa has a cameo in their feature film HEAD.

especially if the link to reduced incidence of Alzheimers holds..

Edward T. Blake, 80, Dies; Forensic Expert Sparked Innocence Movement

I don't think it would be possible to overstate Blake's influence on the DNA revolution in criminal justice and the exonerations that followed. He genuinely changed the world for the better.

A brilliant story about Peter Mandelson, told to me by Mark Gatiss on my podcast Trash Talk...

Migration? Shouldn't the headline say illegal migration?

Trump's apparent twelve cokes a day might explain a lot..
