past hypocrisy way
The only way you can ever accuse a Conservative of hypocrisy is if they walk past a homeless person without kicking him in the face.
ageing spencer tracy
I think ageing suits me because I was born old, like Spencer Tracy or Dolly the Sheep.
descendant might report school sir
My maternal grandmother had what might be described in a school report as a 'lively imagination.' She told us that she was a direct descendant of Sir Christopher Wren.
families family history interests
The thing that interests me most about family history is the gap between the things we think we know about our families and the realities.
gone love places taken
I love many places to which I have no connection, but identifying an ancestor, or someone I think is an ancestor, has taken me to places I'd never have gone to otherwise.

The image of my face I hold in my mind is always about 10 years out of date.
ancestry best connected connection connects criteria feeling fellow generally good people race
For me, ancestry is just one thing that connects us to people, and feeling connected to other people is generally a good thing, as long as one kind of connection does not have primacy over all the others. Heredity, race and nationhood are not the best criteria by which to judge our fellow humans.
personality lists needs
The need to compile lists is a personality disorder, as is the need to assert the superiority of some things over other things.
ideas practice theory
Capitalism is a great idea in theory, but in practice it just doesn't work.

If you just took everyone in the BNP and everyone who votes for them and shot them in the back of the head, there would be a brighter future for us all.
photograph britain northern-ireland
Northern Ireland is part of Ireland, not Britain, as can clearly be seen from aerial photographs.
cheer people lasts
Why don't people just accept that life is sad and cheer up? After all, it's not going to last for ever.
people done harm
Most harm is done by people who are awake.

My daughter wanted a new pair of trainers. I told her You're eleven, make your own!
