Can anyone explain why Spain still has territories in Africa like Ceuta? Due to the Muslims or Spanish imperialism? Come to think of it, why is Gibraltar (just across the water from Ceuta) still British? What a weird web colonialism weaves.

Fifteen minutes before Lughnasa...everyone ready?

The nice people at Psychopharmacology provided a link to our review: 'The mystic trip: how psychedelic research fell for mysticism'. It's view only but that's ok for starters? Link: rdcu.be/fub8q Time to get over the MEQ?

Just had a piece critiquing mysticism in psychedelic research published in Psychopharmacology - time to move on from that old trope. trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/...

In the supermarket on Skye today I asked for directions to the specialist section of Norwegian food. Quick as a flash she replied, 'it's the whole shop'! #Norway #England #FIFAworldcup

Morgan McSweeney confirms that Mandelson and George Osborne were the two choices for ambassador to the US, suggesting that everyone in No10 must have been smoking crack.

I had no idea that retail Japanese whisky was more expensive than Scottish - what have we done to allow this cultural outrage?

I'm amazed that Donald J Trump managed to bring about Artemis 2 whilst stopping 100 wars in his first year in the office he secured through lies.

The Cuillin and incubus

In contemporary psychiatry they don't bother too much about diagnoses in a moment of crisis. The question asked is: ARE THEY A DANGER TO SELF OR OTHERS. So don't worry about the detail, just gets on with detention and the 25th amendment.

Sprung on Skye

While the President of the USA is busy insulting NATO (again), can anyone tell me what happened to the Board of Peace, why aren't they opening the Strait of Hormuz? (serious question).
