Here's a brand new podcast coming at you. I'm slipping behind slightly from my planned 1 a month schedule and this does go quite a bit off-topic, but, hey! Who cares. I shall post some pictures of my bike up soon as it is very pretty. Enjoy:

I'm thinking of uploading everything to youtube - if anyone can suggest an easy to use film program in which I can attach the audio to some static picture showing the title of the episode, please let me know.
Enjoy,

Re-upping of Podcast #4
For some reason the podcast went down a lot earlier than previously so here it is again if you missed it:

Oh, and here's an article that you can file under 'How The Monarchy Undermines Democracy':
In Canada, if you want to suspend the parliament (perhaps you want to avoid a vote of no-confidence, for instance) the Prime Minister has to get the permission of the Queen, which, in this case she granted:

"Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper won a rare suspension of Parliament on Thursday, managing to avoid being ousted by opposition parties angry over the minority Conservative government's economic plans and an attempt to cut off party financing.

Governor General Michaelle Jean -- the representative of Queen Elizabeth, Canada's head of state -- agreed to Harper's request to shut down Parliament until Jan 26. Parliament was reconvened just weeks ago after the October 14 election."
And here's some of the minimal news coverage from the, obviously minor, collapse of a European government a few weeks ago:

Because I'm Haagcore
Hello, one and all and sundry, welcome to my blog.
After being in Den Haag for a week I thought I would keep you all up to date using the 'internet' (you may have heard of it). The following posts will, I hope, act like digital postcards; although if you really want the effect of a postcard in digital form I suggest you only read them a week after I have arrived back in the country.
But ,I am fickle when it comes to technology so as well as this blog you will also be able to find links to my podcasts, such as the one below, which are a bit like having a conversation with me, except I do all the talking.

P.S. and, please, forgive the pun! (I am pretty hardcore, though).
