    Review The Jam

    Lots of terrific hits, great albums too. Never followed Weller with his Style Council material, but his Jam songs still resonate with meaning in today's mess of a world.

    Fun Technical Philosophy -Philosophy and Numbers

    Do numbers exist? Physically no, in my view, numerals of course exist but numbers are abstract entities that are used to allow us to manage and illustrate talk about quantities. So according to this video I'm a nominalist.

    Review Outside Edge ( cricket comedy)

    This is a wonderful comedy with a tip top cast.
