| Two unrelated news items I came across during the last few days. First of all, in Glasgow, since two slightly inept medical doctors crashed a four wheel drive into a glass door at Glasgow's International Airport, the police reports some 25 or so physical attacks on people perceived to be Muslim. This included even an attack on a local news agent |

| In which I put marriage back together again - kind of. I realised that I actually had even more to say about this than I thought, but I'll try narrow it down to the basics.The secret of solving the problems we have with marriage - as a society and as individuals - is to learn that there is no perfect formula. Ha! No really, this may sound |

| Today is the 40 year anniversary of the Sexual Offences Act 1967, which decriminalised male homosexuality (at least, in strict privacy, between no more than two people, over the age of 21). I haven't seen anything about this anywhere, so I thought I would mention this here.In other news, my Mum, AJ and I went on an adventure to Newmarket. This was |

| I thought that would wake you up. And yeah, I really am about to write about this."Every decade has an iconic blond like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana, and right now I'm that icon." - Paris Hilton.The thing that makes Paris Hilton a little unusual in the story of our culture is that she is an American.

| Yesterday I saw Alexander, who demonstrated his ability to stay on his feet longer than I can, if you hold his hand.
