Pedants about the language (as I can be) will probably say that the first word in the title doesn't exist, and they'd be right, though care I do not, given the astounding depths to which the Lil'Elves and Peculiar Pundits' grasp of language...

The best TV series ever made, to my mind, was "The West Wing", the story of two terms of an American President and his team. Tight writing, a fast pace and a nod towards reality made it excellent viewing, and a boxed-set to return to when there's...

The leaders of various groupings within the European Parliament have been unable to reach consensus on approving the nomination of Dr Tonio Borg as a Commissioner. This is despite, and not because of, his handling of the "grilling" to which he was...
