Not referring to the necessity of me, of course...

The article below, by Blake Morrisson, appeared in the Guardian Review last Saturday:

Apologies for a moment of self indulgence. I wrote this story recently and was, of course delighted that it was cherried. It was a departure fro me, writing in a different voice, trying to create a character completetly separate from myself and making them feel real.

I don't know if I achieved that realness, if he was a credible narrator. I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on it.

Thanks

Mmmm, donuts.

I can highly recommend this very funny novel. It tells the story of some 'brain scientists' in (primarily) German from the late 1800s to the 1930s. It is great satire and very amusing. The final joke may be on the reader because by poking fun at stupid science from a previous era, the reader may well wind up laughing at himself without knowing it. Government funding of stupid science did not end in 1945. It continues to this day all over the world.

Will anybody please give me feedback on my stories? Football Daze is my first one!

Really hammered home how difficult it can be to be precieved as a muslim in certain parts of the UK. There is no doubt that recent events have polarised Muslims even more and can only lead to further stress and internal divisions.
Strange that when it was the IRA everyone didn't blame Christianity and let's face it Bush's Christianity has killed many, many, times more civilians than Islam's terrorists... So, life is important, but it's value seems to diminish with the square of distance from where we live and what caused the death?

Do you like our latest feature? I'm just gobsmacked at the number of guests online at any one time. Is it accurate? I don't know - still stuck on the sofa at home.

Very clever, Ben! poking fun at the little prince! I surely see him as a prophet: The important is invisible to the eyes, his message.
Taming someone else always carries a risk. And you should not have tackled the elephant. He was ok in his box. What genes?
