The Quiz - ANSWERS
That's very good, HJ. Strictly speaking, you got 2 right, but another 2 would probably fit equally well. Will (the penguin) says that ping is still ahead, as he's heard she'll do anything for a sardine supper. I'll have words…

^Excellent, ping. You have got them ALL wrong, except one, but your answers are actually better than Alison and Will's (the penguins). Don't tell them I said that, though. HINT: Alison and Will (the penguins) know the lyrics to all the so…

^Mmm, thank you, LuDux. By the way, the opening sequence of the Glasto 2004 "Strict Machine" clip is possibly the sexiest thing I've ever seen. Even if Alison's voice is not in top nick.

Felt Mountain - the inspirations
I thought it's about Solaris. O was that Human? Or was Human inspired by Blade Runner? Yes, questions... Solaris was the inspiration for Sartorius, wasn't it? I'm sure there's a sequence of little i-tune clips in which Alison e…

Even today, Norman Tebbit says he, Thatcher and their hideous crew were right to call Nelson Mandela a "terrorist". As odiously mean-spirited, closed-minded and self-important as ever.

^^Those Romanians are right, Jeronimooo. Barn Owls are good luck (unless you're a mouse). When I'm recovered, I'd be glad of your recommendations for where to go in Romania for wildlife. It's top of my list to visit before it all…

Now you're getting the idea! I will post the official answers, plus some pointers to how to think like a penguin, in a day or two. I'll put up Part 1 of the quiz proper on the weekend. x

Thank yous. Good effort, people. Though these are the easy ones - and no-one has got them all right yet. Genius idea to put the answers in white highlight. That's the sort of creative thinking we're going to need when Alison and Will (the…

My daughter went to a nature reserve in South Africa this year with some friends. A honey badger wandered into their picnic and started sniffing at a guy's toes. Then it started nibbling them. The game warden said, "Don't do anything…

I would recommend Robert Axelrod's "The Evolution of Co-operation" as a short but convincing demonstration of how natural selection can lead to the development of cooperation and "pro-social" behaviours in organisms of all k…

Good news! As of noon today, the shambolic Government badger killing scheme has been abandoned, at least for now. After being forced to concede that they had made a total balls-up of their population estimates, then failing to come anywhere near th…

^much as I admire Prof Sagan, I find the "layered brain" concept seriously flawed. For a start, many birds (with so-called "reptilian" brains) have highly sophisticated social behaviours, including cooperation, parental care and …

Are you available for parties ? I'm fully booked until 2027, I'm afraid, Sartori Though I might be able to squeeze you in for a lunchtime after July 2015.

More good recommendations there, I think, pingo. The concept behind "The Act of Killing" is brilliant. My problem with the talkies is that I cant watch anything violent without having to leave the cinema; I can't watch anything sad o…

Mike Leigh's "Another Year". Not new, but well recieved at the time, and now being screened on Film 4. For me, all the worst bits of a Mike Leigh in a single carefully-crafted package. Lovies doing "acting"? Check! Lovies…
