The Quizzical Observer: Olympic fail
http://thequizzicalobserver.blogspot.com/2012/07/olympic-fail.html
I don't assume that you think the way I do. Wednesday, 11 July 2012. Apologies for the long lacuna – life has been a bit hectic. Here at the Observatory, we thought the Olympics coming to London was an embuggerance that could only have been surpassed by the Olympics coming to our own much fairer city. Howsomever, our electorally anointed ones (of all flavours) have pushed on with the idea, so we have to make the best of the multi-billion shindig. Lightning would strike first, I suggest. THE HORROR, THE H...

The Quizzical Observer: January 2012
http://thequizzicalobserver.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
I don't assume that you think the way I do. Tuesday, 24 January 2012. Scottish independence – the way forward. I don't think Alex Salmond is thinking big enough. Here's what he – and Scotland – should be arguing for: not just independence for Scotland as it currently stands, but an independent and enlarged Scotland. Here's the map as I would suggest it. So, Mr Salmond, there you have it. Think big. Be bold. Dream of a new Hadrian's Wall along the Trent. You know it makes sense. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Quizzical Observer: September 2011
http://thequizzicalobserver.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
I don't assume that you think the way I do. Wednesday, 7 September 2011. Life has been very full over the last two or three weeks, and although there have been plenty of Observations, there has been too little time to write them up. Mrs QO and I are currently girding our loins and folding our tents to head to Bromyard Folk Festival - the last of the year for us - and so tonight I will have to content both myself and you with this link.

I don't assume that you think the way I do. Thursday, 14 November 2013. Green light to build. Having finished studying prawn recipes, I was intrigued to Observe the Huffington Post story. Claiming that golf courses take up 'twice as much land as housing'. Well, surely this is the best news of the week. At one stroke (geddit? We could free up a lot of land for desperately needed housing, at the same time as removing a lot of middle-aged white boys with seriously. And take back the lost leys. We may ha...

The Quizzical Observer: October 2011
http://thequizzicalobserver.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
I don't assume that you think the way I do. Monday, 31 October 2011. For some time now, I've been looking at the lunacies of the world and thinking about how we might mitigate them somewhat. You may have heard of the 17th century Witchfinder General? If not, have a quick refresher here. Here are some examples of where the Bollocks-Finder General might usefully step in, along with the actions that might well be taken. B-FG: "So exactly which doctors and hospitals have asked for this? B-FG: "No. This i...

The Quizzical Observer: Police and Crime Commissioners
http://thequizzicalobserver.blogspot.com/2012/03/police-and-crime-commissioners.html
I don't assume that you think the way I do. Tuesday, 6 March 2012. Police and Crime Commissioners. I must apologise for the lack of recent activity. My analysis of who really runs the world. Much nicer than 'tax') and generally throw his or her weight around, setting policing priorities for the area. And receive between £60,000 and £100,000 a year, depending on the size of the local police force. And have a nice office, staff and an expense account. It may help if I summarise your options:.
