I’ve been unplugged for a few days, so all has been quiet on the Western front.

There’ll be more stuff along shortly, including a new podcast hopefully in the next week or so, but for now relax to the awesome yet mellow sounds of Andy Mckee.

You’re welcome.

“Idol”

Inspired, horrifying, entrancing, brutal, wonderful, and sick in equal measure.

WORD.

Thank you, Marcus. Thank you for bothering to put into words exactly how I feel about everything concerning religion. I’m a busy man and I don’t have time to be as reasoned as eloquent as you.

Go on, watch it. All of it.

In the UK we’re immensely fortunate to have i) the BBC, ii) Sir David Attenborough (the second greatest living Englishman), and iii) some of the best wildlife documentary teams in the world. Some of the footage I have seen (and I’m sure we all have) over the years has been by turns heartwarming, awe-inspiring, downright creepy, occasionally bloodthirsty, but always always interesting.

See here, then, a recently captured piece of footage that is flying round the internet right now depicting a set-to between a pride of lions, a herd of buffalo, and a pair of opportunistic crocodiles. It does fall slightly into the bloodthirsty category, but then again, that is nature. What we have here is some South African safari guides showing some camcorder-toting American tourists around a safari park, and what you hear is their own commentary live as it happens.
