The Times website is going to charge money... From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (4 hours old)

The Times website is going to charge money if you want to read it. I read this for nothing, in the Guardian. I have already pointed out that removal of Murdoch's biased reportage will improve the q… more

Domestic Bliss From Sienna ^Pro in Sienna's Lovers (10 hours old)

I can't wait until I can do it again. I mean, until I can do it again with Jake, meaning really until HE can do it again with ME. His scar is looking much better (although I'd probably want to t… more

Celebrating! From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (1 day old)

I just found out that the notorious clone of Mrs Thatcher, the utterly revolting money-grubber Blair is no longer in contention for the post of European Council president. Perhaps now he will start wo… more

You can't believe the Telegraph... From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (1 day old)

They have this fine picture of a lenticular cloud, here... Underneath, the text says... Sometimes likened to UFOs, lenticular clouds are usually created by gravity waves. No, they are not… more

Annoying Amazon From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (2 days old)

I find them really useful when I'm selling special Lego sets like Cybermaster. So I was cross today when I had an email from them saying some nonsense about how they were having some sort of Christ… more

My pussy's hairy days are numbered From Sienna ^Pro in Sienna's Lovers (3 days old)

... as of tonight! Jake bravely persisted with the oral last night after I paid him a fleeting visit following a night out with the girls, but I can tell it will be more fun for both of us once I h… more

Dangers of anonymous sex blogs From Sienna ^Pro in Sienna's Lovers (3 days old)

So - another sex blogger's anonymity bites the dust. What is it with the public's obsession to unmask every last anonymous blogger who happens to have landed a publishing deal? Are people THAT bor… more

It's silly of me, but... From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (3 days old)

I just can't seem to stop myself commenting on those idiotic, automatically posted Spam blogs. Update: I had an example link here, but Rampage has heroically deleted the blog. Hurrah!… more

Sex blogging is front page news again! From Sienna ^Pro in Sienna's Lovers (5 days old)

So Belle de Jour 'decided' to "out" herself. I hear it is all to do with a bitter ex boyfriend, who instead of resulting to blackmail would do well to keep his head down and say a prayer of thanks … more

Cobblers... From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (5 days old)

"Project Camelot" is probably the biggest load of silly nonsense I have read in absolutely ages. It's such nonsense I can't be bothered to cut and paste a link. If you have time to waste, find it for … more

Peed on a stick last night... From Sienna ^Pro in Sienna's Lovers (8 days old)

... and discovered I'm about to ovulate. It is one of those tests that detects the LH surge, for those of you not knowledgeable about the wonders of fertility-prediction hardware. http://www.first… more

Positive thoughts From Sienna ^Pro in Sienna's Lovers (9 days old)

I love being with Jake because 1) He doesn't consume me. I am still myself, and he is himself. I don't expect to change him, and I feel good enough in who I am when I am with him. I make my plans,… more

"My snake has excellent GPS in the jungle" From Sienna ^Pro in Sienna's Lovers (9 days old)

he reassures me when I warn him that I am letting all grow out to visit this wax lady in around a week. This is the least I can do to show my solidarity with his pain as he is about to undergo his … more

I had to laugh... From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (10 days old)

Rupert Murdoch is threatening to stop all his publications appearing in Google News. That will raise the quality of Google News. The bias in his rags does this Australian dinosaur no favours.… more

Strangeness on eBay From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (10 days old)

I was about to list some of my old computer science books on eBay, but they wanted me to list them with free postage. I have asked for that in the Post Office before now, but they just laughed. Pre… more

A planet I visited today. From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (10 days old)

I'm building up to an intellectually stimulating post, by playing a little Spore in between putting stuff on eBay. As you may be able to see, I just terraformed this place to T1 for its inhabitant… more

Beware of this one! From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (12 days old)

This scam looks quite realistic, and could potentially be VERY nasty indeed. The clickable link goes to somewhere in Russia, that will attempt to run a PHP program on your computer. Avoid!… more

I'm keeping this simple for Alan. From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (14 days old)

I'm going to keep it simple because Alan Johnson has problems understanding science, evidence, truth, and above all he seems to have enormous difficulty understanding classifications. Or perhaps he is… more

The fuss about tags. From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (15 days old)

I'm a bit baffled, I must confess, at the fury that has broken out here. On occasion, I have pointed out to people that they have forgotten to separate their tags with commas, resulting in a huge tag … more

Mad eyes, part 94. From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (19 days old)

It is clear now that Alan Johnson wants to be our next mad eyed prime minister. We already know that he does not believe in science, or actual truth, or evidence, preferring rather the views of th… more

Nice helpful comment... From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (20 days old)

Here, you could have seen a comment I left on a spammer's blog page, but blog.co.uk have sensibly deleted the blogger who did it. May they rot in the bit-bucket!… more

Government sacks scientist for telling the truth. From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (21 days old)

The BBC version naturally makes more sense than the Daily Mail version. All we need to know about the Daily Fail's reporting is the biased and incorrect headline "Sacked: Drug tsar who claimed Ecst… more

Remind me, why should I obey the law? From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (21 days old)

After all, our government ignores it, time after time, quite blatantly. Take for example the Phorm scandal, where BT spied on its customers. The government was told quite clearly to make BT stop doing… more

Might this be too good to be true? From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (22 days old)

Well done, the Terminator! From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (22 days old)

Love is all around From Sienna ^Pro in Sienna's Lovers (24 days old)

It is nice to feel wrapped in a cushion of the real thing, not some imposter like lust or fleeting fancy for someone you've just met. In a weird way, this reminds me of the kind of emotion I assoc… more

They must have used a microscope... From The_Walrus ^Pro in The Walrus (27 days old)

A freebie in the Independent tomorrow, apparently... something small, but very poisonous... The artist got the wierd eyes right, but has exagerated the size of the brain.… more
