I wish the UK had stood up for Canada more. I think that the world and its history would better judge the UK, Starmer, and the King, had the latter two given a speech stating that: 1. Canada is a Commonwealth realm and it is extremely offensive to make threats of annexation. The fact that this was a...

Ha! While Blackadder was massively popular and influentual during my high school years, I never really found it as relevant as I aged and time moved on. Maybe I'd seen it too much. Yeah, it was brilliant, but I don't feel the need to watch it again and don't think it has aged all that well.

In 2003, a contest was held by the BBC to determine Britain's best situation comedy (this excludes comedy dramas, such as Auf Wiedersehen, Pet ). The public was polled and from these votes 100 selections were drawn up. The BBC then picked ten sitcoms to showcase, which they did in 2004, and they cho...

This is why I avoid most of the Internet now. News articles, even ones written by people, became lazy a long time ago. It's not uncommon to see glaring typos in BBC articles.

Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge – A Radical History of Plants, Drugs, and Human Evolution. (1992) This was the first McKenna book I read, all the way back in early 2011. I was just getting into his theories back then so I eagerly ate this one up. It's a while since I...

I couldn't put it down despite the overwhelming sadness of the story. It was a very moving read, written simply but rich with meaning. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5/5

Except he's writing fantasy, not history! Although he sure plagiarised history for ideas. (If you can plagiarise history?)

George R.R. Martin is the man famous for taking 13 years (and counting) to write a sequel. Sadly, I have read all the completed books in A Song of Ice and Fire . Here are reviews of two of them: A Storm of Swords (Book #3) By this book in the series I had lost all enthusiasm. Martin's writing is ter...
