No Sacred Cows

Scepticism served medium rare

Home

I have always liked awkward questions more than comfortable answers. No Sacred Cows is where I park the things that do not fit neatly anywhere else: memoir, travel notes between Europe and Thailand, political grumbling, environmental dread, coffee, small moments of lightness and the occasional attempt at humour.

Rather than making you scroll through my entire life in reverse order, the site is divided into a few broad strands:

  • Memoir – a life woven through Yorkshire, France, Thailand and a few wrong turns along the way.
  • Thailand – politics, culture, everyday absurdities and fun.
  • Politics, climate and collapse – attempts to look at the mess we are in without flinching.
  • Travel, coffee and wanderings – walks, cafés, trains, beaches and the small details that make being alive slightly less baffling.
  • Digital absurdities and satire – technology, real headlines that read like parody, and occasional commentary attached.
