Saturday Evening Posts Worth Reading.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 30, 2012

One of the most subtle blogs around for a running commentary on London life – the exquisite and utterly original Pigeon Blog.

A determined and beady eye kept on Rachael

Ducking Ridiculous!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 30, 2012

I find myself living in the prime holiday destination for escapees from the bansturbator Hell of the US and the UK.

Bergerac was the centre of the French tobacco growing area. We have the Tobacco museum

The Shame of The Pride.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 29, 2012

All stressed up and nowhere to go – they’ve spent months ironing their frocks, saving up for a full body wax, and moisturising their little tootsie’s, and now they are faced with a national disaster. Peter Tatchell

So who do we trust now?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 28, 2012

Over the past 40 years there has been a systematic erosion of trust in the institutions we were brought up to respect.

The lessons of the Sunday Schools that we absorbed as children were shown by

Feed me, feed me not, feed me, feed me not…!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 27, 2012

What havoc is wrought by the readers of the Evening Standard? Forgive them, they know not what they do!

A brief three months ago, their hearts bled as they read of children with:

Rendering unto Caesar

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Pericles on June 26, 2012

I should be hard pressed to imagine anything less interesting than the tax affairs of one Jimmy Carr*, a comedian – so I’m told – of whom I had never heard till about two days ago, but, as

Out of the Closet, into Housing Benefit.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 25, 2012

Much anguished fluttering of the bent-to-the-left petticoats this morning. It seems that the government’s decision to make housing benefit a financial helping hand for adults, rather than a free for all, is unfairly targeting ‘gays’.

Game of Thrones

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on June 24, 2012

So, the virtual pub has had a bit of a make over. And I rather like the new look. And as a virtual pub, the first choice I will have to make is this: what is

Karma, Karma, Karma, Karma Chameleon

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 23, 2012

18 months ago, I was forced to retract a story on this site. That hurt; I am well known for careful research. I hadn’t written the story myself, Andrew Withers had done that, and within hours

Assange Assiduities.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 21, 2012

I once found myself at Stanstead Airport with £20 in English money to get rid of, and lo! Julian Assange’s ‘leaked’ (oh, the irony!) autobiography on special offer. Three hours of Ryanair delay, three hours of no

Who is bailing who out of the leaky boat?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 20, 2012

Women and children first, so the mantra goes. It would certainly seem to be so in the case of Portugal.

Whilst I was double checking some facts before I wrote on Angola the other day,

Destitution in Modern Day Britain.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 19, 2012

Can it be true? Are there really as many as 2.2 million households in Britain scraping by on as little as £41,000 a year? And having to feed two children on that as well?

Ms Raccoon engages in ‘Angolan discussions…’

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 18, 2012

Are you sitting comfortably children? I did promise you more African adventures.

Long before some of you were born, a couple of ex-soldiers of humble rank were sitting in their grotty flat over an Aldershot launderette,

Sad But Mad Lad

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by SadButMadLad on June 17, 2012

For various reasons I’m moving to my own personal blog.

Those of you who wish to keep reading my witterings and blatherings about stuff that makes me sad and mad please wander over to Continue reading →

The real green energy

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by SadButMadLad on June 15, 2012

Green energy is not solar power and wind turbines. It’s the gradual improvements in electronics over the last thirty years. There’s probably been more saving of energy through efficicienes created through the invention of new devices than that created

£10

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by SadButMadLad on June 15, 2012

Overhead this morning on BBC breakfast (I know I shouldn’t listen to the statist propaganda, but I do need something to tell me the time as I have

76 Arrests led the big ‘invade’…

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 15, 2012

Seventy six a-rrests led the big ‘invade’,

With a hundred and ten new laws close at hand,

They were followed by rows and rows of the finest statutory instruments;

The dream of every Fabian hand.

Seventy six

Science Fiction

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by SadButMadLad on June 14, 2012

It seems some commentators on AR have read a little science fiction if the comments on Ray Bradbury’s coda is anything to go by.

So what is it about SF (please don’t use the

Interventions

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Criminonymous on June 14, 2012

Threat level red, are you terrified yet?
Or do you think again, like a lonely man on his death bed?
Any danger we’re in is the result of a combination
Of stupidity and treason, we fail to use

State of the economy

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by SadButMadLad on June 13, 2012

As I understand the current economic situation, we’re not part of the Euro so we should be able to ride out it’s demise better than others.

But we have to be able to react to the

Black Swans and Economic Voodoo

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on June 12, 2012

Ever behind the curve, I read an article a couple of weeks ago about Nassim Nicholas Taleb. This is a bit late in the day, because he has some very important things to say,

On the road to nowhere

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on June 11, 2012

I have the last stone to go. I have shifted about 20 pounds, and got down to about 15 stone, which is about a stone over a reasonably fit “fighting weight” for me.

I

London 2012 Olympic Torch Flames Going Postal

by Matt Wardman on June 10, 2012

So you can’t afford an Official Olympic Torch from the 2012 Relay, complete with 8000 holes:

Representing the inspirational

A Sign of the Chimes.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 10, 2012

Did you know that it was a young Maggie Thatcher, in her first job as a research chemist, who discovered how to infuse perfectly good ‘proper’ ice-cream with air and thus double the quantities and the profit? I didn’t

Sortition and Democracy and Meritocarcy

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by SadButMadLad on June 9, 2012

Sortition sounds OK as an alternative method of electing MPs compared to our current system, and probably would work. But you’d also need put in place the same

James Callaghan PM – My Part in his Downfall…!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 9, 2012

Think back to the halcyon days of the 70s, the last time we had such a well-hung Parliament, when dead bodies were piling up in Liverpool, and rats held mass demonstrations beneath the statue of Winston Churchill – in

Snide

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Obnoxio The Clown on June 8, 2012

There are many things to like about living in Britain. The history, scenery, diversity and a largely benign environment are wonderful as are many other things.

Last one to leave, please turn off the lights

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by SadButMadLad on June 8, 2012

The infamous joke that could “the last person to leave Britain please turn out the lights” was aimed at Neil Kinnock. The Sun used it as a headline because they believed that Labour’s policies would be

Ray Bradbury

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by SadButMadLad on June 7, 2012

Ray Bradbury who has just died, wrote the famous Fahrenheit 451book which was about a dystopian future where books were outlawed because the pace of life had become quick and where

Represent!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Thaddeus J. Wilson on June 7, 2012

It seems to me that most of my most futile political arguments are about that most sacred of cows, democracy. You cannot question its alleged virtues without being looked at as though you are advocating mass
