I have never tasted turtle soup, my reading friend, and do not plan to. Ever. Such a sentence may seem like a strange introduction to this issue of our all encompassing blog / bulletin / thingee but there is method behind the madness. Speaking (typing?) of madness, you may wish to note that this article will deal before long with the greedy madness behind the monstrous evil known as the Atlantic slave trade, but we are not there yet. For a few decades now, sea turtles have been some of the most

How much do you know about 5 March 1953, my reading friend? The jury of the British Film Academy (BFA) selected the British motion picture The Sound Barrier as the best British film of 1952, as well as the best made film anywhere on planet Earth in that year, on 5 March 1953, you say (type?)? Very good. May yours truly add that the award for the best performance by a British actor of the male gender for 1952 went to Sir Ralph Richardson, a gentleman who played Sir John Ridgefield, one of the

Do you like science fiction (SF), my reading friend? And yes, yours truly very much realises that if one was to ask two SF fans for a definition of that genre, you would probably get three opinions, if not five. Personally, I rather like SF. I am especially fond of books that go over the history of the many aspects of that genre, from the magazines and books to the radio serials, television series and blockbuster movies. You will note that yours truly used the acronym SF as an abbreviation of

Yours truly will readily admit that I have had, have and will presumably continue to have a strong affinity toward the unusual, the strange, the odd looking, etc. To my great shame, in my teenage years, when I had hair (Sigh…), I was intrigued by the absurd / batty / outrageous / preposterous / ridiculous theories put forward from the 1960s onward by Swiss author Erich Anton Paul von Däniken.

Welcome yet again to the wonderful world of space, my reading friend. As we both know, the Space Age came of age during the Cold War, that dreadful period of the 20th century that our species seems quite intent on returning to. Indeed, yours truly would like to offer a life story lifted from the pages of history dating from the second half of the 1950s – and beyond. Let us begin without any further ado.

Wunderbar! Are you familiar with synthetic meat / meat substitute / meat analogue / meat alternative / imitation meat by any chance? Yes, yes, synthetic meat. The world needs such a product in a bad way. Do you not know that red meat is a significant contributor to climate change? Indeed, it is a major factor
