Amusing quiz

November 11th, 2006 | Category: Amusements

You are 65% English.

Getting there. You may wish to pay attention to the world around you.

“And did those feet
In ancient times,
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
In England’s pleasant pastures seen?”

Well, no, but it’s a cracking good tune.

How English are you?

Fastrack holds a mayoral event

November 11th, 2006 | Category: Political Correctness, UK Politics

And does not bother to invite all the Conservative Candidates. Please send your queries about why Dr Lee Rotherham has been left out to Lois Robertson events@conservatives.com Good to see that the Tory Party is living up to its “inclusive” party tag. The event happens this Thursday so I would encourage you to get after CCHQ on this as soon as possible. The control frequery of Cameron’s Party is quite amazing; except when taking into account they incompentence involved in the last Tory Party Conference.

ConservativeHome has picked up this story as has Guido.

T-discs…for coffee it seems

November 11th, 2006 | Category: Technology

I am not a coffee drinker I do have to admit however I do admire the technology involved in Tassimo Hot Beverage Machine. I have several friends who have them, they tend to be IT types, who both admire the technology and the fact the device is so easy to use to make coffee when you are not firing on all cylinders in the morning.

Tassimo Hot Beverage Machine uses something they call T-discs, which is appropriately named to attract the techy types, to make it as easy and humanely possible to get your drink as quickly as possible.

The War Sonnets: V. The Soldier

November 11th, 2006 | Category: War

wwi

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Rupert Brooke – 1914
