Little Blog Of Rants. WARNING - May contain opinion * *. Friday, November 27, 2009. I can't help feeling a sense of schadenfreude about the demise of Dubai. Unlike it's fellow Emirates in the UAE, it doesn't have any oil. It doesn't really have anything except gaudy baubles built by labour verging on, if not beyond, slavery, a dubious - at best - record on human rights and only a flimsy relationship with democracy and press freedom.

Little Blog Of Rants. WARNING - May contain opinion * *. Thursday, December 31, 2009. Every media outlet has been doing end of the year/decade bits for a while now. Not being one to not follow a trend, I may as well join in. And that, inevitably, leads to my sphere of knowledge: sport. But the highlight of the year was the final nail in Bayern's coffin away at eventual Bundesliga champions Wolfsburg. Gooooooollllllllll. Carried away. Happy new year all. Posted by John D.

Little Blog Of Rants: October 2012
http://littleblogofrants.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Little Blog Of Rants. WARNING - May contain opinion * *. Wednesday, October 03, 2012. The devaluation of the currency of apology. Apologies are not what they used to be. The endangered and devalued apology must be saved. So I urge you to stop apologising for things other people have done, don't apologise for the sake of it, ensure you are apologising for the thing you're actually sorry about and if you're not sorry, don't do it. I'm sorry if this is controversial, but it's just the way I feel.

Little Blog Of Rants: January 2010
http://littleblogofrants.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Little Blog Of Rants. WARNING - May contain opinion * *. Sunday, January 31, 2010. I'm not one for New Years resolutions. I don't think I've ever made one, or at least if I have, I can't remember ever having done so. The fact I'm making this one a whole month into the year means it's not a whim, something I have no chance of succeeding with. I've thought about this. Check back a year from now to see how it's going. Posted by John D. Friday, January 29, 2010. Posted by John D. Tony Blair - remember him?

Little Blog Of Rants. WARNING - May contain opinion * *. Friday, February 07, 2014. There lives a certain man in Russia today. He's big and strong, some of his best friends are gay. He confuses gayness and paedophilia. But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear. He can rig elections like in North Korea. But he's also the kind of leader. All men would desire. Vlad, Vlad, Vlad Putin. Pictured topless yet again. You protest far too much. Vlad, Vlad, Vlad Putin. Wrestling a bear again. Posted by John D.
