Here’s part three of our trawl through the monarchy from present to past. Today our shonky history bus drives past Dutch invasions and smallpox.
Something shitty happened to me last week and I thought I’d share it with you Sick Chirpsers, lying in your warm beds with your laptop, smoking that inevitable morning spliff and nursing last nights unfinished stubby of French supermarket lager.
You wouldn’t think anyone could get wound up by classical music enough to kick off. You’d be wrong. It turns out the classical crowd love a riot.
During WWII USA tried its best to hide all of the buildings it didn’t want to be exploded by bombs. It did an amazing job thanks to Hollywood, of all people.
What’s Kagu? Lots of things it turns out. This post plots an odd voyage from dancing to juggling, all thanks to a strange little bird.
A Russian expedition to find the yeti reports on a disturbing battle between yetis and grizzlies in Siberia. Terrifying but awesome.

If you’re a foreign national and want to live in the UK you have to take a citizenship exam. This week they’ve unveiled the latest version. Could you pass it?
Oz is currently reveling in a spate of weird weather action. Next up – a sea foam invasion. Anyway, funny video of cops nearly getting hit by a hidden car…
I can’t play the gamelan, I hadn’t even heard of it until today. These Balinese Lords, however, know exactly what to do with it and it sounds mental.
I know it sounds far fetched, but I’m pretty sure NASA is trying to win over, or hypnotize the stoned youth. Watch these videos and tell me I’m wrong.
