Why do we, human society, enjoy violent forms of entertainment?  We all have different limits, and I consider my own tolerance level to be quite low, but even so I have always enjoyed classic style murder mystery novels and TV shows. 

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I don’t watch a lot of films, so when I do go to look for a DVD to rent I’m always amazed at the high proportion of films where the main focus of the entertainment is violence.

I am aware that some of my friends ride bikes.  I am aware that in many lovely cities such as Cambridge and Amsterdam, many people ride bikes.  Some people ride bikes for legitimate reasons, although if you are not a courier or a postie, please explain.  But are you a person who happens to ride a bike sometimes, or are you one of those damn cyclists?

It’s true. I’m a 30-something female and I don’t cook.  I am aware this is unusual and very slightly lazy, but it’s certainly not something I feel the need to change about myself.
