Food & Drink > Cookware & Cutlery Product reviews: Le Creuset cookware: 2 of 6
Le Creuset is undoubtedly well made and deserves the high price it commands, yet I have to say that I do not think it deserves the high praise that it is so often given. Yes, the thick cast-iron base ensures an even temperature gradient over the cooking surface and the pots retain a lot more heat, and they do come in a range... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Climate Change Global warming: Financial implications: 6 of 17
To those who still deny global warming I would say this. The evidence against your arguments is mounting each year and successfully squashing them. Sun spot activity has reduced over the last twenty years, which should help our predicament, the fact that it is not points to our own activities. That the global climate changes... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Changing seasons: 22 of 60
The uninvited guest And there she was one day in May Head bowed with bright blue Pixie hat. The head is hung in shame though As if apologising for the imposition. She is most welcome But no amount of praise changes her mind. She has such a long slender cygnet neck Simultaneously fragile and strong. It bends gently with the s... More..
Food & Drink > Seafood Recipes Recipes: Haddock and other white meated fish: 6 of 16
Fish pie This is a traditional recipe with a modification that makes it even tastier what's more the children love it. It sounds rather time consuming but the reward is in the eating. I use a mix of fish. In the UK I use coley fillet because it is dirt cheap and very flavoursome I also use smoked haddock as well. The haddock... More..
Business > International Business & Trade World politics and their role in oil prices: 2 of 4
Oil price is politics. The price of oil reflects demand and risk to supply; both of which are politically driven. Oil is a commodity that is bought and sold on the international markets but the international markets do not control the production and supply of oil. That is in the hands of The Organization of the Petroleum Exp... More..
Travel > Europe Visiting the Wye Valley, Herefordshire and the Welsh Marches: 1 of 2
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries anyone travelling around England would take in the romance and picturesque country of the Wye Valley. Thousands of intrepid travellers would make the treacherous journey up to the charming town of Hay on Wye where they would spend a day or two admiring the scenery before hiring a bo... More..
Food & Drink > Sauce, Spread & Dip Recipes Recipes: Mackerel pate: 1 of 1

Politics, News & Issues > Terrorism Terrorism: An epidemic of fear: 19 of 36
If there is an epidemic in the cosseted west then it is driven by a news industry eager for stories twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year; and they don't come bigger or more horrific than an attack by a group of terrorists riding roughshod over borders and security to bring conflict to your front ...

Other Why did Mary have a little lamb?: 35 of 64
Because if Mary had a big lamb it would be a sheep and sheep have seen to much grass to be snow white, cuddly and innocent, whereas a lamb is blissfully unaware of the oven that it will end up in. Oh dear now I've upset the children and the vegetarians. Sorry. I'll start again. ... The Mary in this rhyme is perfectly sweet a... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the UK How Britain has become a 'nanny state': 5 of 9
If I had to place a finger on the timeline of the 20th century social and political history then it would fall firmly on the years just post World War Two when our country underwent a major upheaval. When peace broke out it was time for a brave new world, one where social inclusion was the core. Clement Attlee set out to est... More..
