When I encountered this video a few days ago, I thought it was a joke.However, I've now opened several bananas in this way over the last few days, and it really is much easier!It's just annoying that the wee dark thorn-shaped thing remains stuck in the end (or rather, top) of the banana.

When the current Danish government got into power in 2002, one of their first actions was to introduce the so-called 24-year rule, which means you can't bring your lawfully wedded husband or wife to Denmark from outside the EU if you're younger than 24.Although theoretically introduced to reduce the number of forced marriages, it has had lots of negative consequences...

I normally write blog postings by finding a nice Creative Commons-licensed photo on Flickr and using the Blog this button above it.However, the consequence is that it appears on my blog immediately, without giving me the chance to proof-read it or anything.It would be much better if the blog postings could end up in the Draft folder at first.I was...

I just read in The Times that the Church of England is now introducing a wedding-cum-baptism ritual.In Denmark that is entirely commonplace, and I mentioned my surprise to Phyllis that this should be anything new.According to her, it is entirely...

Today is a great day: It's 40 years since man first set foot on the Moon, and I finally passed my driving test!It was my third attempt: The first time I overlooked an unmarked junction, and the second time I...
