The Lightning Process

I have written a review of The Lightning Process, a claimed remedy for ME/CFS, and I should very much like to post it here. However, because it may turn out to be controversial, and because the WordPress moderators could just possibly be persuaded it’s in breach of their Terms of Service (it’s not), I could [...]

Is that your blog? If so, I’d like to hear from you. Intrigued by the title, I clicked on the link, only to get a message from WordPress saying the blog has been deleted by the owner. That being the case, I’d love to know how you’re visiting my blog, so frequently, from a blog [...]

Veggie or vegan…

I have to say, as an omnivore, that my diet sucks – not least because buying the quality of meat that I actually want is way beyond my budget, and my food bill is getting out of hand anyway. I also need at least one large meal a day, because otherwise my anti-inflammatories make my [...]

More Firefox 3 sucks…

Please note that Firefox is now up to v3.5.2, and the problems here and on other posts relating v3.x are now largely irrelevant except for those who have failed up upgrade. Yesterday, in The Guardian’s Technology supplement, there was an entirely uncritical review of Firefox 3. I am utterly fed up with the lack of [...]

Facebook – I’m doomed!

Oh bugger, I really am beyond redemption. Several people I know are cluttering up Facebook and, to access their pages, I had to sign up and create my own page. You can find me as Ron Graves. I really must get a life… m Afterthought: What, I found myself wondering, overnight, is the actual point [...]

Summer – WTF?

The first day of summer? Oh, ha, ha, bloody ha! Today is officially the first day of summer in the UK. It’s also the summer solstice. Whatever, summer 2008 is a bad joke so far… By the way, there is some argument about this online – much of it wrong. The truth is out there.

Is this country going to hell in a hand-basket – discuss…

It is, by the way, hand-basket, not hand-cart, as all those manglers of language and idiom would have it. m Anyway, down in leafy Aldeburgh, on the Suffolk coast, 20 of that village’s population of around 3,000 have lodged a petition with the local council claiming that the ringing of the bells at the local [...]

More on Benefit Lies…

You know all those lies about Incapacity Benefit claimants that the Daily Mail just loves to trot out at every opportunity? Well, I’ve found the source (I suppose many of you will know already; this is for those, like me, who didn’t). The culprit is David Freud, an extremely wealthy former City banker (banker – [...]

Firefox 3 sucks…

Go to this page for a fix for the bookmark problem. Please note that Firefox is now up to v3.5.2, and the problems here and on other posts relating v3.x are now largely irrelevant except for those who have failed up upgrade. Note – Support for FF2 ends officially in December, though it looks like [...]

Opera

A note for Opera users. WordPress has something against double-spacing lines, so when I need to double-space I insert an “m” – it could be any letter – and change the colour to white so it doesn’t show, and that way I get the spacing I want. Of course, there’s no limit to how many [...]
