I am not a Jedi

Someone pushed a leaflet into my hand this weekend, about religion and the census. I'm generally happy to accept religious pamphlets from any nutjob with an axe to grind, because I'm interested in what other people think. This time, however, I found that I strongly agreed.

Apparently the Census of 2001 recorded an unusually large number of religious people in the UK populace. Much more than would be suggested from the results of other surveys where the question is asked in a non-leading manner. And, the leaflet continues, the figure that 72% of UK citizens are Christians was used to justify government policies such as state funding of faith schools.
A young man of my acquaintance has three nearby schools to choose from. But, a little detective work shows that two of these are faith schools, and so I consider them an unsuitable place to send an impressionable child. As you can imagine, I object to my council tax being spent on schools that would rather teach funny stories than science

Wikipedia tells me that in 2001 there were 390000 people who gave their religion as Jedi. But this hasn't resulted in a single, state-funded Jedi Academy.

Dan Lepard's mocha fig muffins

I've recently been baking cookies to my own special recipe, but I've run out of ground flax seeds and Wm Morrison didn't have any. So I thought I'd have a go at the fig muffins from the Guardian magazine this weekend link They turned out pretty well. I like figs - rich in calcium I think - and these muffins complement a glass of whisky very nicely From the frankly awful picture of the muffins you will notice that I'm still using the Nokia X3-02. It has another feature which makes it difficult to browse through the photos using the windows picture viewer
