Getting some twitter annoyance off my chest...
Right now in the Britain there's an independent inquiry into the behaviour of the media/press. The inquiry was set up after telephone hacking was found to be endemic in the Murdochs' Sunday paper, The News of the World (since closed in lieu of the scandal).
The Leveson Inquiry is currently taking evidence from people who have been victims of ( Read more... ) -
Misfits and stuff...
My own Misfits superpower may be complete rubbish (who can rid me of this ability to unwittingly summon Gary Barlow onto my tv screen, magazine, radio, Twitter Timeline - who?!!) but the show itself just goes from strength to strength.
Forget the Dr Who episode 'Kill Hitler', this week's Misfits was the best ever. Kelly is my hero; kneeing Hitler ( Read more... ) -
For my own recall ...

Two of my ducks have waddled to the edge of my kitchen unit and fallen off to land behind my fridge. The ducks are sheep!ducks. I have no idea if this is a damning indictment of the brain power of sheep!ducks in particular or of all ducks in general. The jury is out on that one ( Read more... ) -

Soap box moment...
Usually I'm the first one - given my leftist leanings - to take the political point of view that social unrest must initially be a symptom of inadequate governmental policies. However, I don't know if it's a sign of age or something, but in the case of all these riots in London and the other UK cities, I have no time for the point of view of the ( Read more... ) -
