I hear Kova has acquired an extra mid name syllable - is this correct does anyone know?

not so much hated, but dreaded (my older brother's favourite) - used to turn me into a waterfall, still a trickle

another easy England win in prospect - makes a change

Absence of evidence is clearly not evidence of absence for metaphysicians of every persuasion.

You got one of these EB?!

I remember Brian Cox being slaughtered by UFO enthusiasts after musing that if there were intelligent life elsewhere in the universe it would have got in touch by now - think he revised then the empty zone as just our galaxy. The 'Fermi Paradox' apparently, sounds reasonable enough but probably...

we can afford them

It's incredibly sad for everybody concerned, primarily Smyth's victims of course.

lol, it feels like I've been around that long sometimes ;-) Agnostic seems to me to lose the advantages of its alternatives tbh but very fashionable in western academe currently. Just listened to The Antikythera Mechanism on the BBC4 In Our Time series - astronomical computers in second century...

The Repair Shop is a welcome refuge

I have met many inveterate atheists who I like very much, in fact I was a very self-satisfied one myself for many years as a younger man. 'Crouching below extinction's alp' in one's eighth decade does give pause to reflect on excluding the possibility of ultimate meaning and purpose in our...

I think that is the reason he didn't want to resign but the point at which he found out that Smyth had not been investigated and cleared by the police remains unclear. The resignation would indicate he 'had left undone those things that he ought to have done' perhaps. Even though a former...

These interventions by the Bishop of Newcastle seem rather odd, seems she was upset by a letter to her a few weeks ago which she has raised again now after being criticized for not letting the CoE's own disciplinary process conclude. She is in the running to succeed Welby but calls are now being...

This is a significant point from the Makin Report that does not seem to have widely reported: "In the statement, Mr Welby says he believed “wrongly” that an “appropriate resolution would follow” when he had first been informed of the abuse in 2013 and that police had been notified. "...

It did not go unnoticed on the match thread. The London based Northern Ireland born BBC strapliner could scarcely have done a worse job of concealing her affiliations.

this is presumably the Mail story from yesterday
