I am sure that some of you will remember a British TV show called “Whose Line Is It Anyway”. Basically, it was a comedy improvisation show that featured a number of American and/or Canadian comedians with a token Brit thrown in from time to time…you know, just to remind people that we have a sense [...]

Little things happen, or you go to certain events and you suddenly realise…It’s Christmas.

I realise that I could pretty much go anywhere and write anything about this title. I could, but this is more a post about stupidity. Some time ago a Mr Lewis Napper, in the US, felt that people could benefit to having a Bill of No Rights to work alongside the Bill of Rights that [...]
