The Real God Delusion

So, which is better?  Religion or Science?   As in the words of Harry Hill: “There’s only one way to find out: FIGHT!”   Joking aside, this does seem to be the attitude of a great many.   People like binaries and they like the “us or them” mentality.   This is greatly obvious when you observe society at large: [...]

Knocked-out by Boxing

I always used to find Boxing terrible to watch; I couldn’t help but find myself rooting for neither boxer to get seriously hurt.  And yet there is something deeply engrossing about it at the same time.  In most sports that I can think of (bar athletics, which are more a comparison of singular basic attributes such as strength [...]

The Book of Jobs Part II

Yay! Another trip down memory lane in another useless blog series?  Why on earth do I put you and myself through it?  Because, well, if I suffer amnesia then it will all be online ready for me.  Unless, of course, we run out of electricity due to a lack of renewable energy sources and have [...]

Fire Safety… Literally

It’s amazing how much fun and pointless training can be nowadays.  Recently I applied and was successful in getting a job.  Having got the job, I was sent a letter through the post, which gave me a website which would “complete my application”.  With a groan, I reluctantly found time to do this, as the [...]

Searching for Atlantis…

Atlantis is regarded very much as a myth for many; a legend that came forth from the dialogues of Plato, who may have lived 4th century BC. According to Timaeus and Critias it was a continent housing an advanced civilisation, which an earthquake caused to sink beneath the ocean in the year 9500BC following an attempted invasion [...]

The Living Dead

Hello blog-readers to the latest post of the Great Saundini! If you’re new here, I’d like you to wave your hands and twirl around. Alternatively, you can just ignore my wishes, which may or may not be dying, as you never can tell. Why, only today my mother told me to watch out for a [...]

What are you looking at?

An evident answer to this question would be this blog, but I find that it’s not necessarily the answer to this question which is important but the assumption it raises. It’s an odd world, but does anyone wonder why looking at someone is such a faux-pas? I remember the first time anyone said this to [...]

Not what the Doctor Ordered

As you know I’m a Star Trek fan, it may not surprise that I am also a Doctor Who fan and on Saturday I finally managed to watch the third episode before going onto the fourth one in the evening. The Ood, the starring monsters in this episodes, are among my favourites in the Dr. Who Universe. [...]

Retroblog 3: Jokes!

“Why was the joke not very funny? I can’t think of the punchline! Oh Well. Hi there and welcome to my latest pointless blog, improving the reading of young children of the world everywhere. Well, not really. As most of you who read this know me, you’ll also know that humour is not my strongest [...]

Good “Good” Friday

Obviously Easter is fast approaching and it always gets me into a thoughtful frame of mind. Growing up, Good Friday has always been a bad day, with Easter good, giving a type of Ying/Yang relationship. However, in growing I’ve always seen Good Friday as the central day in the Christian calender, a day commemorating Jesus’ death. Yet [...]
