Torching Tibet
Read more: Torching TibetHearing an apparatchik on yesterday’s news, conjuring up disturbing realpolitik regarding the demonstrations against China’s conduct in Tibet was just about as reprehensible as could be imagined. This Olympic Official said that the protesters were without political conviction and were just jumping on a new bandwagon to air their personal grievances and gain attention to… Know More

Self-administered brain growth
Read more: Self-administered brain growthWell, I watched the BBC 2 programme last night on meditation, half-expecting the same result as when I, myself, meditate, falling asleep just when I think I am getting somewhere – or, actually, nowhere, that being the point of it!

There will be blood then? Not really.
Read more: There will be blood then? Not really.Well I saw Daniel Day Lewis et al in the Rive Gauche arts cinema in Perpignan this afternoon knowing all the hype, the Oscar, an interview with the King of Guignol, himself, on television but with the sinking heart of one who fears the worst. I wasn’t far wrong. Those who have compared There Will… Know More

Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings
Read more: Out of the mouths of babes and sucklingsAnyone who was anyone reading about anyone in the early seventies will have come across Janov and primal scream therapy. Apart from giving a name to a good rock band, primal scream experience involves getting to the emotional core of your being by having a good yell or two. Well, probably a lot more than… Know More

Shorn (of respect) Connery
Read more: Shorn (of respect) ConneryCurrently, one of the television channels in the UK is running a top one hundred of the most embarrassing/obnoxious/gets-on-your-tits individuals of this past year. I have no idea if SIR Sean Connery is one of these but he should be. This tartan Bahamian (The King of Scotland should have been about him not Idi Amin)… Know More
