It might be already too late for some of us.

My latest blog story:

Read my latest blog post to find out why:
https://wwcorrigan.blogspot.com/2024/07/shunning-la-seleccion-colombia.html

Colombia's media and many of its citizens are often insufferable when it comes to supporting their national football team.

'Migración Colombia seems to put a curse on those who use its services. It did, after all, come into being on Halloween 2011.'

Well I've been told. I must pay closer attention to their movements. And maybe I should ask them for some advice on the *lo******ng* front 🤔

Little good comes from the practice of buying rounds of alcoholic drinks. Why do some people insist on doing so?

'The Moon is moving away from Earth at us at 3.82 centimetres a year. That means that, eventually, it’ll result in Earth days lasting 25 hours in 200 million years time.'

Ah great, an extra hour in bed to look forward to.

The Moon is a constant in the night sky, but all is not actually as it seems. It turns out that scientists have discovered the Moon is drifting away from Earth, and it’s changing everything we thought we knew about our planet’s relationship with its only natural satellite. It’s also having a v...

'Having been pulled into it, I can see its voracious vanity. Yes, it occasionally feeds me. But at what price?'

'Rather than being doctrinaire against the use of the Oxford comma, those of us brought up to obediently omit it should be open to its vital value.'
