Being ginger adds spice to life
News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 04/06/2023
» I have been reprimanded by a reader of ginger persuasion for failing to mention two significant days in the calendar for those of us who have grown up saddled with nicknames like "Ginger Nut", "Ginger Bonce", "Tomato Head", "Carrot Top", not to mention "Freckle Face". I plead guilty to allowing the recent "Cuddle a Ginger Day" and "World Redhead Day" slip by without a single bleat in support of gingers.

News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 27/12/2020
» What a dreadful year. We found ourselves having to tackle a whole new vocabulary and most of the words were enough to make even the most optimistic among us depressed. It all began in March with "self-isolation", a horrible expression inferring you have become a hermit, hidden away, exiled, incommunicado, which in fact is exactly what we were.

Possibly the worst job in the world?
News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 01/11/2020
» On the day Americans went to the polls four years ago the Miami Herald ran what must have been its shortest-ever editorial which simply read: "Her, Not Him, Enough Said". In light of what ensued, it must have been tempting to blame the proof-readers and come out the next day with: "Correction: Him Not Her."

At least the Lady Plods put on a happy face
News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 16/09/2018
» There have been understandable mumblings following the announcement that the Royal Police Cadet Academy would no longer be recruiting females, scrapping the normal 280 places available for the ladies. The explanation, in which we were assured the move would not affect the number of women in the police force, was something of a head-scratcher and had a definite "Catch-22" feel about it, which is probably exactly what was intended.

Is everybody happy? You bet they are
News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 25/02/2018
» It was nearly four years ago the powers that be announced the "Return Happiness to the Public" campaign and since then we have all been insanely happy, like it or not. So last week's news that Thailand has been named the "least miserable country in the world" for the fourth successive year by the Bloomberg Misery Index, hardly raised an eyebrow. However, there was some debate if there is any subtle difference between "most happy" and "least miserable".

Thailand has its own 'darling buds of May'
News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 05/06/2016
» It is no secret that Thailand has not received positive international press of late, for reasons familiar to everyone. (Just don't mention tigers.) However, there is one area where the kingdom can hold its head up high and for that we turn to Thai womanhood. And no, it's not the latest result of some obscure beauty pageant like Miss Grasshopper or Miss Pork Balls.

Confessions of a wrinkly couch potato
News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 16/08/2015
» I admit to watching too much news and sport on television, but do not make a habit of viewing many “drama” series, especially anything to do with zombies. I catch occasional episodes of A Game of Thrones, but haven’t the foggiest idea what's going on. However, the pet dragons are quite cute.

Grim White House in-tray
News, Roger Crutchley, Published on 04/11/2012
» When Barack Obama won the US presidential election four years ago, the BBC commented that when he took over from George W Bush _ a few months later he would be inheriting ''the in-tray from Hell''.
