Dogwash: It's only words
http://dogwash48.blogspot.com/2013/02/its-only-words.html
A project of minimal priority, undertaken as an escape from more serious work. ( Jargon File. Im just a lawnmower. You can tell by the way I walk. ( Peter Gabriel. 26 February, 2013. Are two Radio 4 programmes which help to keep me fit. For a 64-year-old who takes less exercise than he ought and spends far too much time taking holy communion in the Church of St Tim Martin, the speed at which I can cross a room to operate the wireless's off-switch is really quite impressive. As to Wimmin's Hour. But why d...

Dogwash: Lee Rigby: a very belated RIP
http://dogwash48.blogspot.com/2013/09/lee-rigby-very-belated-rip.html
A project of minimal priority, undertaken as an escape from more serious work. ( Jargon File. Im just a lawnmower. You can tell by the way I walk. ( Peter Gabriel. 01 September, 2013. Lee Rigby: a very belated RIP. The consistent focus of this blog since I started it by accident in 2005 has been immigration and race relations in the UK, leavened with the occasional feeble joke. Anyway, the purposeful striding's off the menu at the moment my damned knees have "gone" again. And finally, for what it's worth...

Dogwash: The creepiness of Wikipedia

A project of minimal priority, undertaken as an escape from more serious work. ( Jargon File. Im just a lawnmower. You can tell by the way I walk. ( Peter Gabriel. 05 March, 2013. The creepiness of Wikipedia. Just listening to the newsreader on The World Tonight. Literally a couple of minutes ago (about 22:07) as I write. She intones:. In the last few minutes the death has been announced of Hugo Chávez, the president of Venezuela. Been updated to record his death. Posted by Edwin Greenwood @ 22:12. Of a ...

Dogwash: Tales from the Multiculture: Integration?

Tales from the Multiculture: Integration? Spotted this arvo in vibrant downtown Woolwich,. My skills in reading Arabic script are a bit limited ( ie. Non-existent). So, taking a punt in the dark, I'm going to guess that it says something like "Ahmed and Fatima". Posted by Edwin Greenwood @ 18:09. 13 March, 2014 17:49. Thanks to...

Dogwash: Joining the grown-ups
http://dogwash48.blogspot.com/2013/12/joining-grown-ups.html
A project of minimal priority, undertaken as an escape from more serious work. ( Jargon File. Im just a lawnmower. You can tell by the way I walk. ( Peter Gabriel. 15 December, 2013. Actually the ritual exchange of calumnies, addictive as I may find it, is repetitively tedious and cumulatively uninformative, and I find this bit of news. People smugglers struggle as demand dives. But something else puzzles me, particularly after reading. As a refugee lawyer, the last few weeks have been heart-wrenching.

A project of minimal priority, undertaken as an escape from more serious work. ( Jargon File. Im just a lawnmower. You can tell by the way I walk. ( Peter Gabriel. 03 November, 2013. London's buses: the problem of overcrowding is only going to get worse. London's iconic red buses rack up an incredible 6m passenger journeys every day, but with the population expected to hit 9.3 billion by 2022, overcrowding is becoming the norm for London's hard-pressed bus commuters.

A project of minimal priority, undertaken as an escape from more serious work. ( Jargon File. Im just a lawnmower. You can tell by the way I walk. ( Peter Gabriel. 05 November, 2013. Saying boo to a goose . is a vile, life-threatening hate crime. Ceci n'est pas une oie. Taken at face value, then, this case merits attention. Seven Charlton fans jailed. And banned from football for 52 years. After 'Stephen Lawrence chants' on train. Speaking after the sentencing at Blackfriars Crown Court, Baljit Ubhey, CP...

Dogwash: Call a spade a what?
http://dogwash48.blogspot.com/2009/04/call-spade-what.html
A project of minimal priority, undertaken as an escape from more serious work. ( Jargon File. Im just a lawnmower. You can tell by the way I walk. ( Peter Gabriel. 20 April, 2009. Call a spade a what? The potted biog. in the sidebar of this blog ends with the phrase. A grumpy old git who is quite prepared to call a spade a black bastard. The Righteous have duly pounced, in the guise of Epping Forest BNP Watch. By picking on the phrase as an ipso facto. Demonstration of my vile wrongness, a little ad hom.

Dogwash: The gleeful wrath of the Righteous

A project of minimal priority, undertaken as an escape from more serious work. ( Jargon File. Im just a lawnmower. You can tell by the way I walk. ( Peter Gabriel. 24 March, 2013. The gleeful wrath of the Righteous. Until Thursday I had never heard of Nathan Upton. Nor of Lucy Meadows. Nor indeed of his/her personal tribulations. Pick up is absorbed through a process of mental osmosis. Someone of mildly notorious interest to the media had snuffed it, oop north, I learnt. Whatever his ultimate intentions,...
