@radiobrendan It’s been expressed here before that I generally go along with the ‘communicate rather than exterminate’ stance when it comes to dealing with human enemies. This line is practically sacrosanct when the other side is showing a willingness to compromise....
@radiobrendan Colombia’s Minister for Health and Social Protection, Alejandro Gaviria, created a mini-stir recently by claiming that alcohol consumption was more harmful than smoking marijuana. His remarks come amidst moves in Congress here to legalise the use of the drug for...
@radiobrendan Well it may have seemed like a good idea at the time. In fact considering the pretty poor level of English in Colombia in general, most people probably have no issue with it, insofar as the meaning is lost on them. Plus, what it represents is something largely...
@radiobrendan Phew! They’ve pulled through, and with a little bit more to spare than it looked immediately beforehand. A huge section of Colombian society can breathe easy once more. The ‘right’ decision has been made. Scotland is staying in the UK. You see had our Tartan...
@radiobrendan It is said that all good things come to those who wait. So after a political union with its fellow British neighbours to the south, England and Wales, since 1707, Scotland may be about to once again go it alone. Well that is ‘go it alone’ insofar as any...

@radiobrendan I’ve written before about what could be seen as the absurdity of the ‘free world’ concept. There are many areas where it just doesn’t hold, but the one I previously focused on was in the global movement of people. Basically, anyone who has travelled to...
@wwaycorrigan As we all know, in this life there are the haves and the have nots, something that has been well documented in various ways on this blog.* In what could be seen as a microcosm of that on some levels, there are those who have a smartphone and those who do not. At the […]
@radiobrendan It will come as no surprise to most of you to hear that Colombia is a land of many treasures. The majority of these are natural, although it has even got a man-made Indiana Jones style ‘Lost City’; well it’s very much found now but it was lost, or...
@radiobrendan Right, I knew there existed in Colombia a tiny segment of support for, to say the least, a less than glorious period of German history and the accompanying beliefs associated with it. However, I wasn’t aware that love of the ‘Fatherland’ here is...
