 The Wonder of Stonehenge Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version

General NewsI was glad to hear about the nomination of Stonehenge for the new shortlist of 7 wonders of the modern world. There are a few surprising inclusions in the list, although I tend to agree with Anthony's selections over at Archeoblog (with the possible exception of the Colosseum for Angkor Wat).

However I am surprised that there has been relatively little coverage of the recent discovery of 9 neolithic-era buildings at the Stonehenge world heritage site.

General NewsI should be up front with the knowledge that I really do not like Ken Livingstone. Neither the man, nor his politics. However, I also believe in giving credit where it's due.

The speech that he gave on his way back to London whilst returning from his succesful bid to host the Olympic games in 2012 captured the right tone of the sad events that followed.

All I ask is that you enjoy the speech for its authenticity and save any further criticisms for another day. The speech in full can be read below the fold.

General NewsOkay so I'm back after a short hiatus. And you know what, I'm a touch annoyed. Yesterday 4 terrorist bombs went off in my town, with the current death toll set at 37 with over 700 injuries and counting.

But you know what? Whatever you're peddling, we ain't buying. The city of London has seen it all before. You aren't original, you aren't scary and you sure as hell aren't going to change us.

General NewsYet another posting on another website got me thinking.

The actual quote was "What annoys me the most is the widespread assumption that no guns would somehow equal less gun crime. And clearly that isn't the case (hell, look at the UK)."

Now as many problems as we have in the UK, I wouldn't describe gun crime as one of them (probably due to me living out in a fairly middle class 'burb).

General NewsTo this day we do not know how delicately balanced nature is, and how a single change in the environment can affect it.

One thing which does seem apparent is that no matter the change, nature adapts. Still, the latest reports regarding the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park is interesting.
