Exams have just finished here in Auckland, and I’m waiting for the pre-dawn so I can nip out and get some lovely shots of sunrise over the skyline. In the meantime I recall some fun facts I rediscovered during my exam revision. As a geologist I naturally get involved in all manner of unfashionable things, like [...]

Coal not Dole
Back at the University of Auckland for a week, and oooh, hasn’t it been exciting. O-week has passed (more on that later) and classes have resumed. This semester sees the appearance of an interesting module on mineral resources. Those who know me and my fondness for hydrocarbons are probably thinking “goodee”, or similar sentiments… Well, [...]

Filthy Greens
Feb 3rd. Field notes from a trip to civilisation… There lies, in the Golden Bay region of South Island, NZ, a gorgeous small town called Takaka. It is a quiet and unassuming place; I initially believed it to be a perfect location should I, as a put upon NZ MP or Cabinet minister, ever need [...]

Guest post: DemocracyFAIL
There follows a Guest post courtesy of Jed Bormann, Anti-Nasty things and Pro-Kitten Officer at the University of Fibchester Student Union. I apologise in advance for some of the more colourful language employed by Mr. Bormann. ******************************************************************************************************** Democracy? I mean, what the Fuck? The representatives on our student Union are a total herd of cuntweasels! Why? [...]

The Year of Stupid.
Fear not comrades – my grammatical standards have not yet degenerated to HYS standards. Indeed, I would have entitled this post “The Year of Stupidity“, but I wanted to make it a direct nod to that film what came out some time back. You know the one. Well anyway, I realise I’ve not posted much at [...]

Rehash, repost, recycle. (oil)
Back in the twilight days of my 1st year of University, and in the long summer that followed, I had my first proper blog. In a way it was a prototype for this current one. Except for the fact that (a) it was anonymous, (b) it was less proper with my language, and (c) no [...]

Just a thought…
So this Copehagen summit on climate change is about to kick off. I’ve been thinking… have the logistics of global summits and conferences really not changed in 200+ years, really? At the risk of sounding like one of those god-awful deniers I’ll say just this – could the whole discussion thing not be done via [...]

Natwest Protest
When I was first going to University Open days way back in the summer of ’06, one of the few things that really stood out for my was the sheer gorgeousness of the University of Birmingham’s Edgbaston campus. Now a 2nd year student here, I am still taken by the beauty of the redbrick buildings [...]

“If Antarctica is melting – we have just 3 days to eat all the penguins” – Thoughts on the Eco-Warriors
Dear old Comrade Guise has been saying for some time that he’d quite like it if more folk would write for this blog; and given my quite spectacular knack of insulting, offending, annoying, and generally filling up the BULS inbox, I thought I’d give it a bash. After long and careful (5 minutes) consideration as [...]
