Being Manly: February 2013
http://beingmanly.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
February 23, 2013. Sympathy and the Legacy of Complacency. When the going is good, the corrupt, the corpulent, the anti-intellectual, and the gourmand get their day. If the going is good for a while, these guys get their feet well and truly under the table. It’s a mighty job to get a placeman to give up his place. If we live in an era devoid of political. In the midst of a dearth of brilliance and of the spluttering rhetoric of leaders who cannot lead, we are not the first:. When the duke of Sully was ca...

Being Manly: July 2011
http://beingmanly.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
July 25, 2011. Fleet Street; or, Pipes, Facial Hair, and Suits. I love everything about this, and I think many of you will as well. If only newspaper men still looked like this, what? Click on the picture to be taken to the video. Be prepared for smart men in wide-lapel suits, pipes in conference rooms, and moustaches at which one could not shake a stick.

http://beingmanly.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
April 30, 2011. How Many British Royals Have A Degree? Only six of the royal family ever. The second would then have been Prince Richard, the Duke of Gloucester, who has a BA in Architecture from Magdalene, Cambridge (1966). Prince Richard, the bright spark in the Royal Family. My interest here is purely academic, as it were, but I’d be grateful to anyone who could correct any of this, or provide further information. Posted by Rob Boddice. April 22, 2011.

November 13, 2011. Remembering the Civilian Cost of War. Remembrance Sunday in Berlin simply. Posted by Rob Boddice. November 09, 2011. In the world of easy ‘likes’, Twitter armies, and the blogosphere, I rather feel that there is a surfeit of charisma kicking about the internet. There are enough scary nouns in Clark’s little charismatic reduction to make us most wary of it. The concatenation, Joe Public is a monster. Posted by Rob Boddice. November 08, 2011.
