http://inanafricanminute.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-patrick-and-i-might-have-for.html
What Patrick and I Might Have For Dinner. Topfentorte, a german delight. My old friend and co-conspirator @PatrickMeier. And I are having dinner tonight at Kafe Leopold. In Georgetown. Last week, he pointed out, quite rightly, how poorly I've been keeping up the blog. For inspiration, he gave me an ultimatum: if I don't blog by tonight, dinner is on me. Since I am running out of time, I would like to share a few things we might enjoy tonight, suggested by @AlexBollfrass. I) smoked fish platter;.

In an African Minute: The Imagery of Universal Justice
http://inanafricanminute.blogspot.com/2009/12/imagery-of-universal-justice_08.html
The Imagery of Universal Justice. Adam Hochschild has a great piece. On the story of Thomas Lubanga, a former DRC warlord who is the first ICC defendant to face a proper trial. When the ICC outreach team visited Bunia, the town in eastern DRC that has been ravaged by war, they realized that the scales of universal justice are quite similar to another set of scales more commonly seen in a town known for its gold deposits.

http://jack-davies-blog.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
YESTERDAY'S FISH AND CHIPS. Sunday, November 12, 2006. WHY LAUNCHING A FIREWORK UP YOUR ARSE MAY JUST BE A GOOD IDEA. Did you hear about the man from Sunderland who thought it a good idea to stick a firework up his backside? The 22-year old soldier inserted a firework between his buttocks before lighting it. Within seconds he learnt his lesson as he fell to the floor. Taken to Sunderland Royal Hospital, he was treated for burns to his colon before being released. And finally, the Canadian man who on Hall...

YESTERDAY'S FISH AND CHIPS. Thursday, March 29, 2007. Okay, just one more. To follow on from the story below, for fans of 80s pop music you can now study an MA in Madonna studies in the US.

http://jack-davies-blog.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
YESTERDAY'S FISH AND CHIPS. Saturday, December 23, 2006. THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE (AND AFTER) CHRISTMAS. It's been over a month since i added to the blog. In that time we have lept from fireworks to christmas, an almost seamless transition. I love Christmas. I absolutely love it. In theory it's the ideal holiday. But oh how wrong we are! A visit to a 24-hour Tesco Superstore will soon restore your faith and reaffirm that no, we can't all get along, not even for a day. And what a day it is! May you relax, chi...

YESTERDAY'S FISH AND CHIPS: BBC spit out their dummy
http://jack-davies-blog.blogspot.com/2007/03/bbc-spit-out-their-dummy.html
YESTERDAY'S FISH AND CHIPS. Monday, March 05, 2007. BBC spit out their dummy. A short entry today you may be relieved to hear - I have a presentation to give on Wednesday and it is about as complete as a Virgin TV channel package. Today it was announced that the BBC was finally allowed to reveal the contents of a key document in the cash for honours enquiry. But whilst the BBC may gloat and present this as a victory, it is something far short of that - it is downright childish. The case is sure to go in ...

YESTERDAY'S FISH AND CHIPS. Sunday, February 25, 2007. 10 Years in Prison - For Being Rational! As I write this I am listening to 50cent – and guess what? I don’t have the sudden urge to go on a murderous rampage. Well, that’s what many people would have you believe is the influence of this gangster-turned-superstar. After the spate of shootings in.
