Gone Fishing!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 31, 2009

I have indeed, Gone Fishing.

I leave you all in the capable hands of Ms Smudd and Master Ward, who will continue to amuse and exasperate in equal quantities.

I shan’t

What is the measure of a society ? Court of Protection

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 27, 2009

I ask this question because there is a maxim that says “a nation is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens”.  This is from US President Hubert H. Humphrey and the full quote is:

Court of Protection

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 26, 2009

I am so coldly, rigidly, white knuckled angry, that at 3am I still can’t sleep.

The cause of my anger is an article, so poorly researched, so sensationalist, so, so utterly, incompetently wrong, written by a ‘Whitehall Editor’

The Pink Princess

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on October 17, 2009

When Stephen Gately’s death was first announced in hushed reverential tones on the BBC news, my first reaction was Stephen Who?  Never heard of him.

By the time the ‘breaking news’ announcements had given way to

Cofiwch Dryweryn

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on September 1, 2009

In the days when I drove daily to Aberystwyth, I would pass a poignant reminder of my Father.  Just outside Aberystwyth on the A487, on the side of an old ruin, were the words Cofiwch Dryweryn. Many

HSBC France – you have to love it………

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 21, 2009

If you stand outside a bank in France, they look pretty much like banks do anywhere in the world.

Fortress like building, sober colour scheme, solid oak doors, a reassuring sense of permanence.

I’ve been poorly……….

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on August 12, 2009

David and Ena Webber, from Christchurch, Dorset spotted me while they were trying to record birds as part of the RSPB’s monitoring exercise, the Big Garden Birdwatch, which took place this weekend.

They called the police,

A Raccoon-a in Ancona…..

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on July 4, 2009

Or not, as the case may be. Apologies folks. The plan was that I should be in a house in Ancona with broadband, and you would be entirely unaware of any disruption in service. Along the 2000

Why France? – No 3.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on June 15, 2009

I had a choice yesterday. Watch Rossi disappear up his own exhaust, or watch the area heats for the Tracteur Pulling 2009 European Championship. Or do the ironing

I opted for second choice on the grounds that it

Why France?

The Anna Raccoon Archives

Leg-iron penned an interesting report from his local hostelry yesterday. One paragraph in particular caught my eye.

One of the other drinkers had been in for an operation on his hand. General

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Gloria Smudd on April 14, 2009

Glancing, as you do, at the Independent web site, I caught sight of a list promising to disclose which frisky fun-purchases might qualify for inclusion in the site’s list of the Ten Best Sex Toys. So, I read on…..

Lord Ahmed who was jailed for 12 weeks for sending and receiving text messages while driving on the M1 has been released by the Court of Appeal. The sentencing judge, Mr Justice Wilkie, made it clear his text messaging

All mouth and no knickers, the new ‘Kilt’ notes.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on March 7, 2009

Yesterday we spoke of David Mundell’s plan to force English shops to accept Scottish Banknotes. An earlier post by Gloria on the subject of quantitative easing asked whether the notes could be easily identified:

So, go

Drat Draco Malfoy!

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on March 7, 2009

A plague on his disingenuous disguises.

Especially the one he adopted when he came to see my house. It’s in the nature of actors to act. It’s what they ‘do’. I shouldn’t be so surprised.

10,000 Muslims and the Solicitor-General……..

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on March 4, 2009

Lord Ahmed certainly has an army of supporters. Following my piece this morning on my blog that this mendacious government couldn’t possibly be thinking of reviewing his sentence, the Solicitor-General has kindly found time in

Eating humble pie……..

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on March 2, 2009

Neither those who love me, nor those who wish they’d never set eyes on me – and I’ll admit to a few, would ever accuse me of being a feminist.

I believe too strongly in the superiority of merit as the

Shredding Freddie…….

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on March 1, 2009

I had not thought I should write in support of Sir Fred Goodwin, nor any other banker, but the sinister orchestration of media voices baying for his blood has brought out my mothering instincts. 

Leave Freddie alone. No one, so far, has

Morning all…….

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on February 26, 2009

I shall be away for a few days.

Regular posters are welcome to continue their good natured banter; unfortunately, I have to put comment moderation on for new posters, and there will be no one to release them until my return.

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on February 24, 2009

The early morning edition of The Daily Mail on-line carried an interesting story juxtaposing the the case of Stuart Lubbock with that of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

The obvious connection, that both cases are of deep concern to ex-solicitor Tony

Abhorrent Aberystwyth and an Asbo for Amy…….

The Anna Raccoon Archives

by Anna Raccoon on February 22, 2009

Aberystwyth is quite simply the most depressing place it has ever been my misfortune to live in. I am told that the sun shines for ten days every year, in August, which coincides with the University recess, so I never
