As Old As What?
There's a 'comedy' line my Grandfather used to chuckle to himself about - "You're only as old as the woman you feel." Which is a cliché from a geenration gone by now, but one which I was thinking about yesterday. Let me explain why... Whilst out picking up my...

Hypnotically Influential Media Attitude Towards Iran?
So it would seem that our TV, newspapers and internet news feeds are all going mad for the situation going on over Iran’s election. It does look as though the results may possibly have been tampered with, that it was not allegedly a fair election… I think that I would...
