Why Trump?s ?Gold Standard? Executive Order is Essential to Restoring Truth in Science Fri Jun 20, 2025 11:00 | Tilak Doshi
Trump's executive order on 'Restoring Gold Standard Science' is overdue, says Dr Tilak Doshi. For too long in climate, medicine and other areas, captured regulators have put vested interests above the public interest.

The problems with universities run deeper than free speech, says Professor James Alexander. They have become a conspiracy against the public: privileged, degraded, pandering institutions heading towards heat death.

ever spying on the newly-weds...[Shrimp Husband, from the 'Spicy Side Dishes' menu
section of the A La Carte evening]
shh... Mind your business if yer daughter marries a shrimp
These were the stories I actually told, on prompting by the audience:
First part:
Starters:
Meet the Molbos
The shaman and the Bolsheviks
Main Course:
Trolls-in-law
Spicy side dishes:
Shrimp husband
Fish soup
Dessert:
The bumblebee
Second part:
Starters:
Mushroom soup
Sux races
Main course:
Mr Silver and Miss Crozier
Dessert:
Sindbad's first and second voyages
(The way I told this merged the two voyages into one. I'd like to disentangle them and continue with the remaining voyages some other time.)
I was particularly pleased to be asked to resurrect Miss Crozier for the occasion. Some stories simply refuse to lie down and die!
Please do contact me if you are interested in attending a storytelling workshop and/or participating as a performer in the club.
Also, if anybody knows of a possible venue that has just as much inherited atmosphere but about twice as much seating space, I'd love to know about it.
Best,
Coilín.

The stories were all very good.
I'd like to hear more stories about the Molbos but the fun is not knowing what a story will be like.
I found the back stories or history of how you came across stories to be very interesting.
I think the story telling could be twice a month or once a month and a once a month workshop.
The price was great value.
The venue was a nice size but limiting to the possible number of people that can attend, I have no recommendations though.
