This charge has been levelled at Homer, but I think it is apt for another person of questionable taxonomy. Since his inauguration there has been much debate as to whether George Walker Bush is human or actually a strategically shaved chimpanzee. The curiosity has reached the point that an industrious individual has devoted a website [...]

Though it certainly made the difference for Homer. After much deliberation and negotiation I’ve accepted the Senior Registrar position at work. On the plus side it will look good on my CV, provides scope for additional experience and will certainly help with making the transition to the Royal Adelaide next year. On the downside it [...]

But not Monty Python’s – rather that of the Cirque du Soleil. I missed this unusual circus troupe when they last toured the UK, so since acts of this reputation are unlikely to come through Adelaide often, we decided to go along. For anyone who isn’t familiar with Cirque du Soleil, then they are unlike [...]

This is a poem spoken by Lt Data in the Star Trek:TNG episode Schisms. I think it is a well-constructed homage to our furry friends.

I find myself intrigued [...]

He probably has the same sinking feeling that Edward Smith did on the 15th April 1912, though he will probably have a more favourable fate.

It’s not just Rimmer who has aspirations for advancement. This is not confirmed, but it looks like I will be getting a promotion in August. At the moment I am a “Registrar” and on the advanced training programme, whereas next month I may gain the title “Senior Registrar”. I’m not getting too excited just yet, [...]

Perhaps he needs some of the products I regularly receive emails about. The internet is all abuzz about a leaked copy of J.K Rowling’s new book – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – that is doing the rounds on filesharing sites. There has been intense debate as to whether it is the real deal [...]

Perhaps this is a little extreme, but I am trying to make sure I keep my English accent. In the US there may be an advantage to having a cut-glass English accent, as Americans perceive English people as being more educated and cultured, but here it is not usual so carries no benefit. Rather there [...]

Now in prepartation for the release of the Simpsons Movie later this month you can now create a Simpson character of yourself. Try it for yourself on the movie [...]
