All ages are good ages
So what’s been going on?
Had my birthday last week, harumph.
Had a couple of very nice meals out too. Thai at a place in Loughborough and an extremely nice steak somewhere north of Loughb. Thanks to Nicky for both of those tips.
Work’s been busy as usual.
Not really very exciting no.
News: Politicians fail to live up the high expectations we’ve always had of them (sarcasm assumed). Public whinge as if they’re surprised and they can’t believe it. People really do seem to innoculate themselves against reality don’t they?
Seen a couple of good progs on tellybox too.
The best one was some wotsit about the journey of the human species out of Africa and into the rest of the world. Am surprised that no-one has whinged publically that it’s all rubbish as the world is only 6000 years old and we were created as we are now anyway.
But there’s been some intriguing stuff. We left Africa via the Red Sea. It’s reckoned that this happened at a time when sea levels fell. Anyone else think there’s a possibility that the parting of the Red Sea myth from the Old Testament might be an ancient race memory thing?
And the Chinese – lawd bless em. They’re taught in school that they look different because they are special. The theory was that they grew from homo erectus. The evidence is scanty and the look of disappointment on the researcher’s face as he related discovering via genetics that this is baloney was priceless.
I do wonder why the need to specify a uniqueness. Isn’t their history and culture and land enough? Why do people need to be “better” than anyone else? I just can’t understand that drive.
Oh and just been watching “Yes Minister” again. It really is very good.
