I did that 2.00 pm post just as I was at the mantecura stage of my risotto, and didn't have time to check it properly. I can't believe I kept saying that models explain. Bloody idiot, Shaw. Dammit.

Every time I type "he" for God I feel awkward. But to do anything different would look a little bit pretentious. I call God "he" for convenience only, to keep it short, and because everybody else does. I could reconstruct my sentences so that I can say "God" every time. I utterly refuse to type "He", however. Always "he". I know I don't know whether a God exists or not, but I won't accord him (oops...) that honour.

Damned fine risotto, by the way, even though I say so meself!
