I found this a few months ago. It’s Gandhi talking about the Bible.
You Christians look after a document containing enough dynamite to blow all civilisation to pieces, turn the world upside down and bring peace to a battle-torn planet. But you treat it as though it is nothing more than a piece of literature.
I’m very [...]

A realist is someone who looks at things as they are and accepts the facts. An idealist is someone who looks at things and sees how they could be improved. A pessimist is someone who sees negative things and considers them to be more important. An optimist is both a realist and an idealist.
This occured [...]

In fact, it’s worse: the woman is a personification of a lie. She suggests that setting up the service she represents is easy and, indeed, pleasurable. In fact it is neither.
I’m talking about Ellie West, of course, the current mascot of Telewest Broadband. We set up an account with them about a week ago. All [...]

For the passing of Cody Clarke’s comic which ended this Friday.

If you search Google for Mark Kenny, my site appears in the top couple of results. Sometimes I’m first, sometimes I slip to second or even fifth. This used to really bother me, since part of the whole “making websites” culture is being top of Google for a particular search term. In my case I’d [...]

So here I am, talking about Big Brother like it’s a serious subject. But who cares, this is the first post in absolutely ages, and almost nothing I say after the full stop at the end of this sentence should be taken seriously anyway.
This year’s Big Brother has been much better than the previous years’ [...]

This morning has been preposterous, there was nothing to redeem it.
Firstly, the shower, having been fixed a few days ago, is now broken again, meaning I must take baths once more. This is enough to make me want to bash my head against the wall.
Secondly, my Dad got a delivery today, and no-one was answering [...]

In honour of Italy winning the World Cup, I used Google to translate my last post between English and Italian a couple of times. Congratu-ma-lations, Italy!
Before that we begin, I would wish to render to dinieghi the two. In the first instance, the title it seems to imply that it uses this regularly blog in [...]

Before we begin, I would like to make two disclaimers. Firstly, the title seems to imply that I regularly use this blog to make parodies. This is a lie. Secondly, this post actually has nothing to do with parodies anyway, but “parody” sounds better than “take the piss out of”. I apologise to my readers [...]

A friend and I were talking about old books, specifically how they write “to-day” and “to-morrow”, all hyphenated like that, and also how they blank out place names. Like, “He lived in the fair city of B——, in the county of S———”. Quite pointless.
Anyway, I also complained of the fact that they didn’t really ever [...]
