28 May 2009

Beer your “Permanent Weight loss Solution”… I can’t help but think that they should give this girl a job doing governmental educational videos, she’d be great: Farmer Giles wondered where all Daisy’s milk was going, mystery solved. It’s the look the cow gives the camera man at the end that cracks me up: And there’s [...]

Core Combatives in Cardiff

26 May 2009

As recommended by my friend Ian Sturrock, tonight I went for a 2 hour self defence class called Core Combatives (or C2 for short) in Cardiff.

Gurkhas: the UK’s Shameful Secret

5 May 2009

Last year I wrote about the Gurkha Justice Campaign and how some Gurkhas, after spending years in the British Army, are then denied the right to live in England. I believe this is deeply wrong and a severe mis-calculation of the public’s mood by the British Government. In a nutshell, only Gurkhas who left the [...]
