		<title>I blame the government</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If they&#8217;d provided us with an education system worthy of the name in the first place we would not have this sort of story about banning Latin phrases in otherwise English communication:
A Campaign spokesman said the ban might stop people confusing the Latin abbreviation e.g. with the word &#8220;egg&#8221;.

If we had a literate society able [...]]]></description>

		<title>What the Olympics really mean?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With the population content to cheer and line the streets, but when it really matters? 
And what other sport has to deal with the attitude we get as cyclists on the road? I certainly haven&#8217;t noticed any sudden courtesy to cyclists in the wake of us being the most successful British team in the Olympics. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Money and Sport</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I was recently asked to complete, using my own skill and judgement, in more-or-less 30 words, the following phrase: &#34;The problem with all this money in football is &#8230;&#34;

&#8230; that it gives [the] sport an over-inflated view of its own importance with the money-making becoming the end in itself, rather than the means to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rufus, RIP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first saw him as Rufus, the righteous envoy from Bill and Ted&#8217;s excellent future, who knew what an iconoclast and prophet for reasonableness that George Carlin was. 
As Beau Bo d&#8217;Or puts it,
George Carlin, Resist in Peace
&#34;Gentlemen&#8230; we&#8217;re history.&#34;

		<title>Stick to your day job</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are some cool types from before the web took over the internet who are, or at least were, known purely by their TLAs. Y&#8217;know, like ESR or RMS. 
So for someone with a rather illustrious history, Mr JWZ is peculiarly myopic (a talent given he even has a law). 
In a recent post he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unfortunately, I was right (sort of)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So last week I predicted a total lack of interest on the behalf of the police in actually punishing genuine wrong-doing. And lo it came to pass that the inevitable happened and I was, quelle surprise, bang on.

		<title>Getting to be almost too many to count</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Methods of enumeration, or at least the introduction to enumeration, let me count the ways. So Elizabeth Barrett Browning tried it (and is probably the most oft imitated in the blogosphere). For those of us of a certain age, no-one expects us to be able to do it accurately the first time (and would that [...]]]></description>
