Bee in his bonnet: On the game
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/11/on-game.html
Bee in his bonnet. Friday, 2 November 2007. I promised a match report and here it is. I also need to give you an incident report - you will see from recent posts that I clearly have one of those faces that enrages people and makes them want to attack it and the person that it belongs to. Just such a thing came close to happening (again) at the match. So, 7 goals and one home fan made angry. All in all, a successful night at Stamford Bridge. Posted by Major Gripe.

Bee in his bonnet: Silver Cock
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/10/silver-cock.html
Bee in his bonnet. Friday, 19 October 2007. Have you noticed how in many cases the service doesn't actually get better in expensive restaurants, it gets worse? It always intrigues me. You go into a very cheap restaurant and aren't surprised if the waiting staff don't have a clue about how to wait, or are not very friendly. There are some honourable exceptions to that, yes, but the point is that it is not a surprise. Posted by Major Gripe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Enter your search terms. What ...

Bee in his bonnet: Radiohead review
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/10/radiohead-review.html
Bee in his bonnet. Monday, 15 October 2007. Now that the Radiohead album. Has been released, here is my view of things:. There was another, overlooked, reason why Radiohead might have put their album out for download with people choosing how to much to pay. It is rubbish. Posted by Major Gripe.

Bee in his bonnet: Pea-souper
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/09/pea-souper.html
Bee in his bonnet. Wednesday, 17 October 2007. An interesting side effect of the smoking ban is the territory battle that has taken place. I never like to waste fine weather, particularly not when winter is around the corner, and definitely not when summer was another winter. Perhaps we should bear this in mind the next time we try to ban something. Posted by Major Gripe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Enter your search terms. Subscribe to this blog.

Bee in his bonnet: Tealeaves
http://beeinhisbonnet.blogspot.com/2007/10/tealeaves.html
Bee in his bonnet. Saturday, 27 October 2007. I am lucky to have a very happy and full life. But I've decided that what is missing is a thumpingly good campaign about something. I'm not particularly fussed about campaigning to save the world, as most of the possible ways already seem to be campaigned about. So it's going to be something far more insidious: thieving restaurateurs. Posted by Major Gripe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Enter your search terms. Subscribe to this blog. Did you miss me?

Musings On Liberty: April 2009
http://musingsonliberty.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
The Uphill Struggle Against Tyranny. Curious Snippets from a Cynical Optimist. Saturday, April 25, 2009. Give MPs Something To Do. Douglas Carswell has proposed an excellent reform. To further keep the executive in check. Here's a simple idea. Require every Whitehall department - and each associated quango - to have it's budget annually ratified by the relevant House of Commons select committee. No approval, no money.

Musings On Liberty: Guardian Economics
http://musingsonliberty.blogspot.com/2009/02/guardian-economics.html
The Uphill Struggle Against Tyranny. Curious Snippets from a Cynical Optimist. Monday, February 16, 2009. Now I would never be so impolite as to accuse the Guardian of economic retardation, but for this. There is no excuse. All respectable employers are more than happy to pay it. Besides, job losses today are not a product of wages. Which are rising at a snailish 3% - but instead a collapse in demand. I'm sorry, what? 1) How exactly can studies tell if the minimum wage has had an effect? An employer cann...

Musings On Liberty: The Death Penalty
http://musingsonliberty.blogspot.com/2009/03/death-penalty.html
The Uphill Struggle Against Tyranny. Curious Snippets from a Cynical Optimist. Sunday, March 22, 2009. This morning I was watching Andrew Marr on BBC 1 and then watched The Big Questions afterwards. One of the issues under discussion was the death penalty, and it triggered a few thoughts. Secondly I would also oppose the death penalty on the grounds that since individuals do not have the right to murder another individual - infringe their liberty - then that power cannot be delegated to the State. On thi...
