Bees are important – without their pollinating efforts, we would have even greater problems in growing enough food to feed everyone. Bee numbers are unfortunately declining, for various reasons. This means some bad juju for everyone on the planet, really.
But wait – help is at hand. A drive to educate people on how important the [...]

When you were 5, what did you know? Probably not all that much. What did you want to be? Something like ‘dinosaur’, ‘astronaut’ or ’super awesome ninja man’ used to be the usual answer. Nowadays, kids aged 5 and up should be expected to be planning for their futures, have a grasp of current affairs [...]

It seems a woman in Washington, UK wasn’t the only one being violated as her neighbours had to complain to the council about groaning noises and the bed banging against the wall during sex, just days after she had been given an ASBO for the same thing (Anti-Social Behaviour Order for those of you not [...]

Burglars are not usually renowned for their lateral thinking abilities and superior intelligence, especially those who get caught in the act.

I hate councils. They seem to be mostly staffed by utter idiots who would find it difficult to tie their own shoelaces together, and find excuses whenever possible to charge more each year for offering less actual services to you as an unfortunate resident of their area.
Which is why this story in the news recently [...]

Birmingham, England. Its a rubbish place, really. Sure, it has its nice bits, but by and large it is just… boring. Featureless. Aside from that, it also has a city council who seem to not know their own city. Oh, and they enjoy a game of ’shoot yourself in the foot’ every now and then.
