The story of a parasite: mind control and sheep’s poo

Parasites are, generally, hated creatures. They take resources but they never give back. That’s actually the biological definition of a parasite: an animal or plant which takes resources (food, energy, etc) without bringing any benefit to its host.

I hate Ross

I have never been able to stand Ross, from Friends. This makes me a bad person.
It’s not just the fact that the character just straight off annoys me. If only it were that simple!
But no, the truth is that, well, I hate his stupid face. And, of course, his stupid face belongs to a real [...]

Big Brother collectable cards: Glyn

Print them out and swap them among your friends for the ones you don’t have! Or just print them out! Or just don’t!

Glyn

Stares, Welsh-speaker

Fun facts:

Though I hate it, I have to admit: there is grandeur in this view of life

I’m talking about spam of course! What else could possibly produce such wonderful phrases as that below, and yet be such mindless drivel.
(The title of this post comes from the closing words of Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, and is applied here frivolously and irrelevantly.)
Anti-spam defences have very effectively wiped out 99% or more [...]

What is your world view?

Via IbaDaiRon’s blog. ありがとうございます。 (That’s supposed to mean “thank you” but who knows if it’s right.)

Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even [...]

A little older, a little wiser … a little smellier

So I turned 22 a while ago (in March, to be precise). 21 was quite strange, a little bit older, but 22 feels like I am now a bone fide adult; it just sounds more mature.
Accompanying this entrance in to adulthood are some changes. Namely BO and halitosis. (This is one of those gross, personal [...]

I’ve won an award!

How’s about a little good news to brighten a day? It turns out the Open Space website won the best website award in the recent Activities Award Ceremony at Sheffield University Student Union!

There’s no money or chocolates, more’s to the pity, but it’ll look good on the [...]
