Can anyone tell me why the UK has become a laughing stock? The continual shuffling of ministers, it is like a sort of dance. The turfing out of students of paid-for accommodation in order to house migrants. Anything else? Oh yes, apparently according to the Sun Newspaper and that hilarious journo Rod Liddle, we are no longer allowed to sniff goshawks. As he said, he never knew that so he now has to stop an age long hobby of his! I applaud that because I used to sniff chickens and penguins but now prefer eagles. My neighbours sniff blackbirds but have asked the Council for help because they are so difficult to catch. So, my neighbours insist on a grant of £2,000,000 to provide them with housing where it would be easier to catch blackbirds. Yes, this country has gone to the dogs. Too many people sniffing them. By Jove, in fact to be more to the point, is it not time to look at the person who made the complaint about one BBC program with Chris Packham showing nature in all its glory to se...

So nice to know this country is still on the right road. That is to say, the right road to neglect. As a matter of fact, that road was begun some time ago but thanks to indecision and sheer incompetency and ineptitude, it has somewhat accelerated. Poor Mr Sunak, who by all accounts is about the only parliamentarian with a brain, is still struggling with the ultra-woke Civil Service about the immigrant boats which despite providing large amounts of cash to France to stop access to the beaches, has only increased the number attempting to cross. The duplicity of politicians in France even dwarfs the duplicity in the UK. And so the costs now are reported to be in the order of some 14 billion pounds! As it has been said already, it is not just the boats, it is the continuing support on the ground plus upkeep of the immigrants. I am sorry to have to say this but from where I am sitting, far away I can note the cost to the infrastructure. Even here in Wales we are now beginning t...

On many Question/Answer Forums one can read questions like ‘How many universes could there be’? Or ‘Are we in a parallel universe’? Interesting question s . And replies with the usual, ‘Can’t be’, or ‘Yes, it is’ to ‘Did anyone ask God’? The question s themselves ha ve no proper answer. Simply because the concept is basically a probability exercise. At least for now. A 50-50 concept. However, these are not silly questions, take the BB or as they like to say 'The beginning of time’. They forgot to add, ‘The time our existence began’. Time as a concrete ‘thing’, does not exist. My or your time, only began when the egg we started with was fertilized. Before that there was no ‘me’ time. One of the more interesting explanations was given by Anne Marie Helmenstine PhD. “The natural world follows the laws of thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics states that within an isolated system, the entropy of the system remains constant or increases. If the universe is considered to...

Haven’t done much these past two weeks, the family has been on a well-deserved holiday. The usual staycation, as they call it nowadays. It means we did not fly all over the place but took two electric cars to West Wales. Amroth near Tenby (or as the Welsh say Dinbych y Pysgod). It is next to a small beach called Wiseman’s Bridge (Pont-yr-ŵr). Really a glorious place but today I believe suffering an overflow of tourists. The places mentioned could easily take the day-trippers, if it was not for their dogs. On the beach at Amroth a signboard states unequivocally, no dogs allowed. Obviously a by-law completely ignored as dozens of dogs quite happily cavort all along the beach accompanied by their owners. There appears to be something wrong with the mindset of the English people and yes, Welsh also, to ignore a simple law because it impinges on their so-called freedom. That they forget why this law is in place just escapes their dim brain cells. Perhaps they just don’t care. The holiday ...
