Oh dear. I'm wrecking my degree and my body clock by keeping up to date with the Ashes score, at 2.30am. No doubt I'll be up for another hour or two. Though God knows why...
The only positive I can think of, is that it's like being back at primary school again! The good old days...Australia 602-9 declared, England 118-5 at lunch. Sigh.

Adam is 20 today. Happy Birthday mate, have a good one!

Expect blogging from me to be a little slow for the next week or so - an essay on 10th century monastic reform to do. If you're good, I may post it here, so you can read it. You wish!

Apologies for the lack of posting this week, I have been run down with a cold most of this week, and away from t'internet for the rest.
Expect some deluded rantings about nonsense any time soon.

Norman Geras takes opposition with Ben Macintyre's article in the Times saying you shouldn't apologise for random acts committed in the past. For instance, the Pope shouldn't apologise for the Crusades, and Tony Blair should not apologise for the Irish potato famine.
Apologies are good. They can help keep disasters from history in the public eye; inform people who had not previously heard of, say, the Crusades or apartheid, and try and ensure these sorts of things don't ever happen again. Because if we forget history, so the saying goes, we end up repeating ourselves.

I am heading back to Birmingham tomorrow, so I don't know how blogging will go. Hopefully I will be back ASAP.

Comments are allowed again, but they have to be moderated by us first. Sorry about that, but that's the only way to avoid bastards posting 6000 spam comments again.
Oh, and I am called Cory, not Roy. Roy was a pseudonym, and I have tired of it. How do you know I'm telling the truth? Well, you don't. You'll just have to trust me...

Having spent the last week at my grandma's, I was free from blogs and blogging, and even began to think for a change.
I decided that we ought to spend more time at the irony of it all. How else does one deal with the news that certain Militant Muslims have responded to the Pope's remarks that Islam only spreads through violence by shooting a nun? Or that the runaway favourite to become Prime Minister at the general election has no two policies to rub together? Or that We are at present launching a "war on terror", which is in nature contradictorary. After all (as some Aussie comic once said) what does war cause? Terror...
Never mind, I'm sure I shall be back to my reactionary, unthinking self in a couple of days.
Roy.
Things are going to be very, very slow on this site. Adam is on holiday in Lombardy, and I've got a very hectic week and a half. I will post odds and ends, but please don't go away! Please...!

Apologies for my lack of blogging this week. I've hardly been in, as I've been celebrating my birthday with various groups of friends and family most nights this week.
Which means I've not blogged during the biggest controversy to hit cricket for quite some years.
I will be collating my thoughts and giving them to you when I've got them straightened out.
I'm sure you can't wait...
