Stroke of Genius
Welcome back, kids. It’s been a while, really it has. I never expected my break from blogging to be quite so pronounced, but like most things, you never can tell, can you! Anyway, I’m back. I’ve fired up the C*R-h boiler, thrown on a few more pieces of coal for good measure, and things are [...]
To be continued…
Some people have said that he’s done a runner, others have bets on finding him dragged out of the bottom of the ocean. Still more imply that their money’s on robbery, GTA or some other crime, whilst others say they’ve had sightings of him in remote locations in all different parts of the world. Whatever [...]
有名！２: Fukuzawa Yukichi
Anybody who has visited Japan will have seen Fukuzawa Yukichi on nearly a daily basis, though they may not know it. His serious face and stalwart image is indeed involved in many everyday transactions. Even if you haven’t set foot even close to Japan yet, then the first few pages of a textbook on Japanese [...]

The C*R-h New Year Giveaway
Well hello again. It’s that time of year once more, and Caught*Red-handed (through a genuine dislike for the 25th day of December) is completely bypassing the subject and moving directly onto New Year! And with that, as advertised tirelessly on Twitter over the past month or so, Caught*Red-handed launches the first of (hopefully many) New [...]

As you all know, the build up to December 6th 2009 had been traumatic to say the least. When it [...]
Just Let Piety Triumph
The morning is quiet. A slight haze blurs the otherwise radiant sunshine of the beautiful, crisp morning. Cows chew the cud merrily in a field, a cat lazily licks its fur clean. The odd car can be heard trundling by in the distance. Everything is quiet. Everything is peaceful. Everything is serene.
Pleasant at first, it [...]
Deaf
Of course, we all know that deaf people live everywhere. There is no Deafland from which these people originally came, and there is no Deaflanguage that they universally use. That said, deaf people are unique in their society, their culture, and their languages, and their concerns and appraisal for the place in which they live [...]
RedBox..has arrived!
On the horizon a flickering light can be seen. At first it is but a small pinprick of light against a sky of deafening blackness. As you look, you notice that actually the light is not burning white as you first thought, in fact it’s green, that is bright, fluorescent green. The light is now [...]
有名！1: Hayao Miyazaki

It will document, [...]
