I am not a frequent tea drinker, but when I do drink it, I definitely prefer Earl Grey. However, I'd never heard of the Lady Grey variety, and am now curious to try it. Would be interesting to have a cup of each, side by side, for the sake of ...

The Spectre at the Feast: reflections on the Peterhouse Ghost
There is a choice when facing odd phenomena. Do we begin with our theory and simply exclude or explain away phenomena that don't fit into it; or do we begin with the phenomena and adapt the theory to fit them? The former is the path taken by ...

How to Write a Horror Story
I would read Stephen King if he or his editors bothered checking his mechanics better. He has gotten so sloppy that those mistakes became great distractions. Eye sores. I know a lot of his fans ...

The Spectre at the Feast: reflections on the Peterhouse Ghost
I love Cambridge, for as you know I go down at times. There is so much stone, which gives it a lovely character, but it is such a wonderful place to go.I am looking forward to going in November. I just love the place.

The Spectre at the Feast: reflections on the Peterhouse Ghost
A very strong theory which explains some cases, but I do not think that it is a full explanation. As I have said there are types of ghost: interactive and non-interactive. What we have seen here is a non-interactive kind

My apologies.

Coins of the Royal Mint
Interesting about the left facing and right facing profiles of the monarchs. That's something few non collectors would ever know, so I learned something here!

Tropical Bird Christmas Ornaments
Interesting thought about the flocking. We don't put snow simulating substances on ours. But we do use sea colored plastic icicles. Never gave that a thought!
