Notes from underground
http://methodius.blogspot.com/2015/04/dead-like-you-by-peter-james-my-rating.html
My rating: 3 of 5 stars. The trouble with reading these Roy Grace books out of order is that the baby keeps popping back into the womb, and in this case it is made more complicated by flashbacks to 12 years before, so keeping track of the action gets a bit complicated. It's nevertheless a readable crime novel, though more of a police procedural than a whodunit - the reader knows more than the police, and so it is easier to work out who the perpetrator is.

Notes from underground: Easter - Christian or pagan?
http://methodius.blogspot.com/2007/09/easter-christian-or-pagan.html
Easter - Christian or pagan? It has often been claimed in some circles that Christians "stole" Easter from pagans. The claim has been repeated so often that it has become a factoid. A piece of unreliable information believed to be true because of the way it is presented or repeated in print). I was prompted to write about it because in this month's synchroblog Julie Clawson mentions it in onehandclapping: Rejection, redemption and roots. I first came across this idea in. As one Easter hymn puts it:.

Britain swings to the rift. er. leght. The election of two members of the fascist British National Party (BNP) to the European parliament has been the cause of some concern to British church leaders.

Christianity, paganism and literature (synchroblog). Christianity and neopaganism - synchroblog. When I have read or participated in electronic discussions on religion in general, and the relation between Christians and neopagans in particular, I have commonly found an expectation of hostility. Christians are expected to be hostile towards neopagans, and often are. Neopagans are expected to be hostile towards Christians, and often are. In Early Modern Europe was actually a persecuton of a pagan religion ...

Notes from underground: Postponing the inevitable
http://methodius.blogspot.com/2012/09/postponing-inevitable.html
I see the message about the new Blogger interface has been reduced from months to mere days. How dreadful! The old Blogger interface will be removed in the coming days. We've made many improvements to the new Blogger interface. Learn more. To the new interface at any time. I did try the new interface, and found it much harder to use, much less versatile. So I went back to the old one. So I'm not switching to the new one until I have to. Its not that bad. September 10, 2012 7:07 pm. 16 of 50 (32%). I am i...

Notes from underground: Aircraft crashes after crocodile on board escapes
http://methodius.blogspot.com/2010/10/aircraft-crashes-after-crocodile-on.html
Aircraft crashes after crocodile on board escapes. Aircraft crashes after crocodile on board escapes and sparks panic - Telegraph. A small airliner crashed into a house, killing a British pilot and 19 others after a crocodile smuggled into the aircraft in a sports bag escaped and started a panic.". An odd sort of story to publish two months after the event, which perhaps gives it something of the flavour of an urban legend, especially the "sole survivor" angle. Was the sole survivor the croc? The point o...

Notes from underground: Dog with a problem
http://methodius.blogspot.com/2012/09/dog-with-problem.html
Dog with a problem. Val was moving bricks from one side of our ruin to the other, but our dog Samwise kept making things difficult by trying to bite the wheelbarrow wheel. Then he dropped his ball into the wheelbarrow. There it is, throw it for me.". Val ignored it and kept loading the bricks, and Samwise got more and more agitated as his ball disappeared under a pile of bricks. Dogs know whats right and whats wrong. September 19, 2012 7:35 pm.

Notes from underground: Overdone stuff on Facebook
http://methodius.blogspot.com/2012/09/overdone-stuff-on-facebook.html
Overdone stuff on Facebook. On Facebook recently there seems to be a proliferation of pictures to illustrate sayings, slogans or cliches. It tends to be the opposite of the "Occupy" movement - 99% are bad or meaningless, and a waste of bandwidth. The words themselves aren't worth much, but on the principle that "a picture is worth a thousand words" people seem to try to give the impression that something is meaningful when it is actually meaningless by wrapping it up in pictures.
