    2012 Olympics

    Just on the subject of food, and from an entirely personal perspective, I as a vegetarian almost starved in Paris over the Arc weekend due to the lack of options. They are in no position to be so patronising to others when they effectively exclude such a sizeable minority of visitors and...

    Have You Ever Been On Tv?

    Presenting a trophy at Cheltenham when C4 was filling in some dead air immediately prior to the Ladbroke Hurdle (for which 1.1m people reportedly tuned in) in 1995. I slipped back into anonymity straight after.

    Carmarthen - Wales - Info

    Never done Cardiff to Oxford myself, but I reckon you could do it in under 2 hours, let alone in 2.5 hours.......

    Carmarthen - Wales - Info

    Since when have they had a University in Carmarthen?!? I have had the dubious pleasure of visiting the local hospital twice with broken collar bones, sustained when I was playing rugby as a teenager. In addition to the aforementioned Laugharne, Gower Peninsula and Tenby (especially the first...

    Anyone Read Any Decent Books Lately?

    Sorry to have missed the extended debate about The Da Vinci Code. I'm not really bothered about how "historically accurate" it is, and I wouldn't deny that it is a bit of a page-turner. But, for crying out loud, it is written in such a twee, cliched and superficial style for the most part, and...

    Schoolgirl Wins Muslim Gown Case

    The former. As a free-thinking product of a liberal upbringing there are many values I believe in strongly. Society tolerates me but makes no special concessions to me: my views on a multitude of issues, of which the wearing of school uniform is just one, may be openly challenged and ridiculed...

    Schoolgirl Wins Muslim Gown Case

    In the hope of starting some sort of philosophical debate, I would like to ask the question: "what is the essential difference between a person refusing to wear school uniform because of their religion and one doing so because of their non-religious convictions?" Followed by: "is it right that...

    Little Annoyances

    Cheers, Merlin. Further to the subject of supermarkets, I simply detest people who sneak into the "basket only: 10 items maximum " queue (which is where you'll often find me tapping my foot impatiently) with 27 items and then proceed to dally before producing some tatty money-off coupons...

    Little Annoyances

    One-footed professional footballers. If I can be equally inept on left and right foot why can't they, at £25m and £100k a week, manage the same? Middle-lane drivers. People, especially people in supermarkets, who remain blissfully unaware of your existence as you try to squeeze past them, even...
