		<title>Food Friday!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In lieu of legal lollygagging, and inspired somewhat by Tasty Infidelicacies, a recipe, for a dish I call
Tasca di Pollo con Anacardi
&#8230; or, chicken in a pocket with cashews.
Now I&#8217;m not so good at precise measurements and tend to go for things in handfuls and pinches rather than kilos and grams, or even pounds and [...]]]></description>

		<title>On television</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From a comment on Gates of Vienna.
A person, especially one not trained to consider what one sees with at least a bit of dispassionate skepticism, can simply absorb ideas passively by watching films or television.
More true than you even realise. When I was doing my undergrad, part of the course on media analysis included information [...]]]></description>

		<title>Random Blog Love</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Got me a project to work on and writing the spec right now (which makes a change from some of the other projects I&#8217;ve worked on. Spec? What&#8217;s that? But that&#8217;s another story) so, busy busy busy and all that.
I need to update the blogroll, hopelessly out of date so it is. Until I get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lisbon is so far away&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That treaty. That damn treaty. Constitution in all but name. I&#8217;ve avoided EU issues for quite some time (as there are people better covering it than I) but it inevitably intrudes in every aspect of life.
It&#8217;s a done deal. A fait acomplis. No way out of it In the process of this constitution treaty becoming [...]]]></description>

		<title>Norman and Saxon &#8211; Rudyard Kipling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“My son,” said the Norman Baron, “I am dying, and you will be heir
To all the broad acres in England that William gave me for share
When he conquered the Saxon at Hastings, and a nice little handful it is.
But before you go over to rule it I want you to understand this:–
“The Saxon is not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dufftown actually exists?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grand event this is. The first whisky tasting in my new apartment &#8211; I&#8217;ll make a post about that later &#8211; and something I&#8217;d never seen before. Of course there are so many single malts out there these days it&#8217;s hard to keep up with them, especially when you&#8217;re but an amateur like me.
A little [...]]]></description>

		<title>The deepest loss is one you forget</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A little melancholy going on at the moment. This year marks the 20th year since the suicide of my cousin Tracy, who was one of the closest people to me in my youth after my parents.
I was nine when it happened. I&#8217;d known Tracy as a loving young woman who was always ready to play [...]]]></description>

		<title>So anyway, whisky&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Politics being what it is you can only take so much before resorting to a drink or two. Or ten. Fortunately I have a well-stocked cask to tide me over.
I was just looking through the backs of cupboards when I found a tube that claimed to be an Aberlour. It isn&#8217;t. Inside there&#8217;s a bottle, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The romans were nazis?!?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Wales, Carmarthen to be precise, there is a museum of various oddities and bits charting the history of Carmarthenshire, from the roman period to the present (which apparently stops when the Commodore 64 was invented). Amongst the roman artefacts on display were numerous coins &#8211; there are always coins &#8211; showing elements that later [...]]]></description>
