November gives us not one but two days of remembrance. Today, the first, is the 5th of November – associated with Guido Fawkes and the failed gunpowder plot against James I of the United Kingdom. In six days time the second day of remembrance – emblazoned with the words “Lest...

We’re back from a five day stint in La Serenissima. Two days of sun and three days of windy drizzle turned out to be a relaxing (and eventful) holiday. More about the eventful part later. There’s loads of bloggable news to be seen to after the break  but we thoroughly enjoyed...

Last Saturday we tripped off to the military town across the border. Well it is military no more and ever since the Franco-German hostilites over Alsace-Lorraine cooled down the city of Metz has been trying to reinvent itself. The Centre Pompidou inaugurated this year goes a long way in...

In his latest installation on J’accuse, late night commentator David Borg tells us that “There are many serious ethical issues regarding in vitro fertilization which you conveniently failed to mention such as the freezing and destruction of human embryos. Besides there are studies...

What with all the Mayan calendars and other superstitious nonsense about the end of the world in 12.12.12 (jeez… thank god for Gregory and his tiny adjustments), the last thing we need is another freak announcement about the end of the world being nigh and all. Don’t fret. We...

This one is mainly for the transfrontaliers living outremer. The quest for a “cheap flight” connection to Malta is becoming like a game of “hot & cold”. As Flyunfair and Flimsyjet CEO’s throw darts across the European map selecting airport links to Malta au...

We’re hooked (thanks David). This guy is interesting if not anything else. While we are busy booking his tomes from play.com we will continue our vlogging trend with a 50 minute clip with Slavoj Zizek from a Dutch programme called backlight. Find a 50 minute break (lunch?) sit back,...

So here it is. Flagged originally by DF on facebook I couldn’t resist posting this short lecture by Slavoj Zizek. His scatological examination of different ideologies is already impressive in its absurd simplicity but just wait for the pubic hair analysis to be absolutely convinced....

The reactionary movement to the restrictions on the freedom of expression has taken different forms and attracted its own limited amount (if we really want to navel gaze) of controversial moments. J’accuse came under-fire when we took the opportunity to highlight the relative futility of...

They’re drilling for oil close to home. It’s BP so it must be safe. They’re spinning thoughts in the divorce debate and lines are being crossed. It’s a PO (Pullicino Orlando) so it must be topical. They’re still wondering whether our mouths have been gagged or...

It’s on next 25th and 26th July at Saint James’ Cavalier Theatre at 9pm. Both the producer (Simon Bartolo) and the actress (Antonella Axisa) are ex-Luxembourg residents (so it must be good). Scoot over to the Cavalier and make sure you don’t miss out on Aleateia’s...

Till we meet again in Malta here’s another of those vids that are serving as an excuse to fill the blogging vacuum (and which I find extremely funny). Here’s how the Stitching problem could best be solved. (as seen on facebook) spread the word:TweetEmailPrintMoreLike this:Like...
