Welcome to the US, please be paranoid
We have just come back from staying in Las Vegas for a week. My main gripe is that horrendous Green Card we all have to fill in before landing in the US. Are they really paranoid or what?

Britain is loosing its Britishness
There is a distinct lack of patriotism in this country (some may say with good reason). You can't even compare with how fiercely patriotic American, Australians, South Africans and Scandinavian countries are.

In search of a more spiritual community
I'm very interested in belonging to a caring, more spiritual community. And by spiritual, I don't mean one wracked by traditional dogma. I don't wear dreadlocks and I don't conform to stereo-typical images of such communities.

Why are English people so cold?
During the time I spent living in the UK I was always treated as a foreigner and found it difficult to form friendships with English people. Why are English people so cold and unfriendly to foreigners?

Celebrities that endorse charities
OK so if I mention this word I'm sure it's going to be controversial, but I'm going to say it anyway. CHARITY! Well my gripe is NOT with charities as such but rather with celebrities that endorse charities.

More scientific evidence needed
Be prepared to face up to the astonishing truth that nearly everything you see and hear is entirely without scientific evidence to prove that it is true. Scientific evidence allows us to be alive.

My Scottish money not good enough
I've just returned from a short holiday in Scotland and I have brought back my Scottish currency. If you've ever tried to spend Scottish money in England you will probably be in a good position to understand my gripe.

Rudeness and foreign language
We’ve got quite a melting pot of different ethnic groups here in the UK. However, our primary language as spoken by the vast majority of people is still English as far as I am aware.

Once a long time ago there were plenty of fish in the sea but more than 40 years of overfishing has taken its tole on fish stocks.
