This has happened again. Another of the mice is being euthanised today, for the same reason. 5pm.

Animal experimentation involves the incarceration of animals - which itself causes intense psychological distress - who are then poisoned, mutilated, given diseases and killed. It is arguably the most severe form of systematic violence in the ( Read more... )

YAY! I was just listening to The Music Week on BBC 6 Music, and they ended the show by saying they'll be joined by The Mighty Boosh next week! They also said they'll have to ask Howard Moon how he feels about the death of Humphrey Lyttleton (RIP, Chairman Humph). If they stick to that line of questioning, it'll be a very morbid show! Anyway, you ( Read more... )

I've just watched Million Dollar Hotel, which was incredibly beautiful and captivating. It is narrated by the main character, Tom, who is already dead (like in American Beauty, although it is in no way an imitation of that film). This is not a spoiler, by the way. Everything I am saying is made clear at the beginning. Anyway, the way he speaks ( Read more... )

So, come one, who felt the earthquake? I have never felt one that strong before. It was really, erm, shaky (for UK standards) here in Manchester. I thought someone had nuked Salford. At the time, Craig and I were in bed watching the fantastic Weeds series 2, smoking a joint and eating weed-laced chocolate popcorn. We were understandably rather ( Read more... )

Firstly, I'd like to state that Andrew Collins does not conduct vivisection in his spare time. I've just spent the last hour thinking carefully about my reply to this entry in his blog, so I thought I'd re-post it here.
