I want out!

I know it's time to go... So how am I going to escape? Can I live without the office? My partner already does. Can I make a 'just enough' living and spend more time working for good causes? Is my writing good enough to feature in a few magazines and bring in a few pennies? Will we ever set up our smallholding abroad and grow our own food? I have to. I'm going to spend a few weeks sitting on an isolated beach on an island cut off from everything - have even bought a notepad as I don't want to be... Sign in to see full entry.

"This is the first generation of kids who will die before their parents"

Jamie Oliver's 'Feed Me Better' campaign to set kids up for success by feeding them real food at school has unfortunately becoem a bit of a political football in the UK. It has however brought this fundamental issue to the forefront of election conversations along with topics such as finding a place for travellers to dwell and meddling with the NHS. There have been criticisms of labour in responding to the rising interest in the public about school dinners. To be honest, I think that if a... Sign in to see full entry.

Peter Kay to Release Comic Relief Single on Monday

After a terrific response to his 'Amarillo' Video last night on Comic Relief, Peter Kay will be releasing the song to raise further funds for the Red Nose Day pot. Peter mimed to the song in a superb short film shown last night on the BBC. The film included cameos from Keith Harris and Orville, Deidre and Ken from Coronation Street as well as an outake of Ronnie Corbett flying off a jogging machine backwards at high speed - worth a look if you haven't yet made your contribution....

Why are we feeding so much junk to our kids?

When you consider that our kids are the ones who will be calling all the shots when we're sitting in the Old folks homes...are we really setting them up for success? Tomorrow's kids will need to be more savvy than us about the survival of humans on a planet that will be overheated and unpredictable. Unfortunately dinnerladies give them curly fries, cookies and fizzy pop for lunch at school. When they get home we give them pizza and chips - maybe we give them a Fruit Shoot drink just to make sure... Sign in to see full entry.

Blair and Bush rocking your world?

Well whatever they are doing with it - they aren't securing the world for the future. They are securing American wealth and prowess over the safety and culture of the world's inhabitants. Today the Green Party set out it's manifesto for the General Election at it's headquarters in Chesterfield UK. It focussed on the growing problem of Europe's involvement in the random and aggressive foreign policies: Dr Lucas, vice-president of the European Parliament’s cross-party group on peace initiatives...
