http://transitionculture.org/2008/07/03/the-art-of-wishful-thinking-or-why-the-world-cup-finals-wont-get-us-out-of-this/Yesterday morning, while chivvying my kids along to eat their breakfast and clean their teeth (not simultaneously), I had one ear on a piece on Radio 4’s Today programme about the economy and recession, prompted by Marks and Spencer’s dismal drop in share price, and its CEO talking of “stormy times ahead” for the UK economy. …

Sex and The City by Rod Hopkins
http://noguarantees.blogspot.com/2008/07/sex-and-city-by-rod...an article by one of my heros... I had a rare visit to the cinema the other night, not with anything in particular to watch but just to see what we might fancy.

Three Types of Doomers and Fantasy Collapse
http://www.peakoilblues.com/blog/?p=194Politically savvy Carolyn Baker* insists: “Don’t call me a Doomer!” Chris Martenson, who brilliantly explains in video clips how we got to where we are, prefers the phrase “serious survivalist.” Zachary Nowak is also uncomfortable with the label, but nonetheless believes that it is prudent to err on the side of being overly grim, than being overly optimistic.
