Smoking Joking?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 27, 2013

Plodding through the News.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 22, 2013

So, Fare Thee Well Cynthia…

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 21, 2013

Bower-ed out at last from the National Health Service talent show; no longer will we hear the strident tones of Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I will survive’, instead she is lisping the lyrics – ‘I’m just a fool whose intentions are

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 20, 2013

Two wheels – Good. Two legs – Bad!

The naked ambition of London’s army of ‘oh-so-on-message’ environmentally aware cyclists knows no bounds. Two weeks ago, spectators were spellbound by the sight of the naked rear of

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 19, 2013

The Expert’s expert expert…!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 18, 2013

Neanderthal Man?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 17, 2013

‘Pay As You Go’ Driving.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 14, 2013

Over the past four days days, Mr G has driven me around 3,000 kilometres (roughly 2,000 miles for the metrically challenged). One of his mad dashes to see something of interest to him! Enough said.

Putting a Spanner in the Works…

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 9, 2013

By Popular Request…the Man Cave!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

Graham Ovenden and Blind Justice.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 5, 2013

Pop Goes the (Welsh) Weasel!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 4, 2013

Maroc n’ Roll!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 3, 2013

The Redemption of Brooksie

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gildas the Monk on June 2, 2013
