How wonderful for EU regulators to decide what kind of tomatoes to eat.
I like Tim Worstall’s sense of humour — like a fine wine: it’s what I call “dry Brit-wit.”
As I’m a good clean living sort of chap I don’t use drugs to cure my insomnia. A quick perusal of Common Regulations normally does […]

This is for the football fanatics.
On Tuesday, Britain’s National Portrait Gallery was unveiling a “portrait” of the Real Madrid midfielder, comprising a one hour and seven minute-long video film of him asleep - alone - in a bed.
The film shows a close-up Beckham, naked from the waist up, snoozing directly in front of the camera, […]

My city goes to the polls in the second phase of Lok Sabha elections tomorrow. I saw a banner today claiming that the definition of an idiot is one who does not vote. I was disgusted by the cheap tactic of insult used to goad someone to voting. There are many people for whom the […]
