Apologies for the unnecessary delay, dear readers! I’ll be using this lovely holiday (when I’m not eating, sleeping or playing on my Wii Fit — so much fun! So much muscle pain!) to produce last week’s poll-winning consultation — Ecotowns in the UK! As a bonus, I’ll also be doing a very short translation of the latest […]
Read more "Ecotowns and the Social Fund"I’ve updated the poll, so get voting!

Only in reverse. I’m going to take The Dynamics of Interbeing and Monological Imperatives in Dick and Jane: A Study in Psychic Transrelational Gender Modes […]
Read more "Humour me!"The UK is introducing official ID cards over the next couple of years. There has been a massive amount of political debate, and a lot of vocal opposition, mostly through the No2ID campaign. Personally, I’m on the fence.
