Monmouthshire: the foodie’s paradise (via monmouthshirecc)

A bit of a reblog. But it’s about food and where a live. Two things I love. So there.

In anticipation of this weekend’s Abergavenny Food Festival and to celebrate some of the local businesses that make Monmouthshire so great for food and drink, here’s a video celebrating Monmouthshire’s food heroes. Local food blogger Bill King writes the blog ‘Local and Great’ and interviews some of the Monmouthshire food stars who were kind enough to let us visit and film them.

Review: Mirage Men: A Journey into Disinformation, Paranoia and UFOs: The Weird Truth Behind UFOs

Mirage Men: A Journey into Disinformation, Paranoia and UFOs: The Weird Truth Behind UFOs by Mark Pilkington
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Slightly disjointed in style, this book can’t quite decide if it wants to be gonzo journalism told first hand or a hard-nosed investigation into American alphabet agency UFO disinformation shenanigans. Still, has some intriguing insights into the murky world of the disinfo agents – the “Mirage Men” of the title – and the mindsets of the ufologists they manipulate. Injects some much needed pyrrhonism into the field. You don’t know what pyrrhonism is? Nor did I until I read the last chapter of this book.
