... is a long way away from anywhere, and if I were you, I shouldn't start from here. By the time you get to the outskirts of Cromer, any distinctions between science, beachcombing, social commentary, writing and animal husbandry have started to blur. When the process is complete, you know you've arrived at the End Of The Pier Show. So, welcome. Find somewhere to park your unicycle. Pull up agirrafechair. Make yourself comfortable.-

Shurely Shome Mishtake….?
This photo was sent to me by Mr A. K. of Barkingside. The contractors in the picture below have been setting steel pillars in concrete to prevent motorists parking outside a bar. They have now finished and are clearing up … Continue reading

One of the perks of being an editor with your favourite weekly professional science magazine beginning with N is that I get to go to two or three international conferences a year, as well as visiting labs and generally hanging … Continue reading
It Has Not Escaped Our Notice #22

Confessions of an English iPad Addict
The other night me and Mrs Crox were watching a stand-up comedienne on some nocturnal emission. “I’m trapped in a love triangle,” she said: “me, my husband, and my husband’s iPhone”. This occasioned a degree of uxorial mirth, for it’s … Continue reading
It Has Not Escaped Our Notice #57
Some very sharp camera work reveals the truth behind recycling, for which snappy image Dr R. W. of Toronto will be inducted into the Grand Order of the Unicycling Girrafe.
