@wwaycorrigan Very often the best, perhaps only, way to solve a problem is to go back to its roots, its origin. Arguably, one of the most challenging issues for man has been his never-ending battle with the opposite sex. You might call it a constant clash due, mostly, to...
@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...
@radiobrendan It’s now almost two years since Bogotá’s SITP (Sistema Integrado de Transporte Público, Integrated Public Transport System) buses started rolling out. Unlike Santiago de Chile, authorities here went for a gradual process of replacing the old private,...
@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 Wow! How the lot for some Colombians is improving considerably. For one, the country’s new hero, James Rodríguez, has ensured Real Madrid will have about 40 million new followers thanks to his big money move to the Spanish giants.

@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...
@radiobrendan So the World Cup party rolls on and, thankfully, Colombia is very much still in the mix. These heady times that the country is going through, something mentioned on this blog a few weeks back, are not only continuing but also appear to be increasing in magnitude. Of course, having got to the last […]
