Hearing loss – it used to be something that was reserved for older people, but with our noisy lifestyle, younger people are finding it harder to hear – and much of that could have been prevented.

While watching the Queens’ speech, I found myself saying ‘boo’ and ‘nonsense’ etc, when suddenly I felt very guilty. Here was a lady, 83 years old, 57 years as our Queen, a lifetime of service to the country, one of the greatest Britons that ever lived, and I am sitting here heckling her.

Alex Massie at the Spectator writes about the fact very few election results have been "wrong" - they have been the wrong result for the public mood, I suppose would be a quick summary. Perhaps this is true - the campaign of 2001 was a terrible one for the Conservatives, although William Hague did do some great things as leader of the party - his campaign to save the £, for example...

Updated. Reuters and the New York Times read the speech that the Archbishop of Canterbury gave at the Vatican this week as both a defense of the Anglican Communion and a mild rebuke of the Roman Catholic approach to ecumenism. The Times of London wants him to be tougher. Bishop Alan Wilson says the speech signals another kind of unity.

Another great forwarded mail. It's really thought provoking.. A man feared his wife wasn’t hearing well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called his family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there is a simple, informal test; which he could perform and give them a better idea about her hearing loss. “Here’s...
