With so many writers strikes and other factors limiting output, the quality of narrative writing has plummeted. The suspension of disbelief as a weapon of choice has been marketed as an alcohol free, low calorie, promo energy drink.

"If I suicide myself, I didn't. I was whackd." - Profanity warning

The world of technological innovation regularly throws up individuals who could be considered as maverick. Without exception, John McAffee represents possibly one of the most charismatic and independent examples of this phenomena. With a background in software engineering and clandestine work, McAffee produced one of the most effective anti-virus applications that was ever rolled out on the MIcrosoft Windows platform. His subsequent retirement and ventures into 'off the radar' commerce ultimately cost him his life. Unencumbered by any form of forelock tugging subservience, McAffee became a hero in the eyes of many other mavericks, software engineers, cocaine aficionados, pussyhounds and gun toting libertarians.

If you have a large enough AdWords budget, your chosen puppet can become as popular as you want them to be.

Whether you're a C2C fan, an Apollo de-bunker, plane spotter or just the average punter, the chances are that at some point you've given some thought to the realities of space travel. Most accept that the discrepancy between the public consciousness and the covert reality is quite substantial.

The greatest historical story never told

Delve into the theosophical works of the early 20th century and there are various references to 'root races'. Up to fifteen different types of sentient human beings are proposed to have coexisted in the earliest of times. As with much of the fringe anthropological theories, some of the abject xenophobia found in theosophy can be difficult to reconcile. However there still remains a very distinct reality that in the relatively recent past, the planet was certainly populated by quite radically different groups of hominins.

Children with epilepsy, terminal cancer patients, multiple sclerosis sufferers and numerous other victims of serious illnesses. What they all have in common is suitability for treatment with medicinal cannabis products. Unlike California and the majority of the U.S.A, Britain still lags behind when it comes to widespread adoption of contemporary attitudes. Big pharma is still given priority over the herbalist remedies used by our ancestors for tens of thousands of years (or longer).
