[DEUTSCHE COLI] German authorities are smarting from the latest discovery in the e. coli saga. Far from having been hatched in a Spanish farm during some lazy siesta, it turns out that the bacteria were unknowingly cultivated in a farm in Uelzen (south of Hamburg), Germany. The North-South...

A day spent in the grips of  La Grippe (the common cold) meant a workday lost and blog day lost. Incredibly there’s more news to comment on than ever before – the storm we predicted a while ago is here and thank heavens for that. Here’s the snippets that we love best on I.M....

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...
