E. Heath RIP
Oh.
Ted Heath is dead.
One of the very few Tories that I've ever had any respect for.

no playing TV on your computer monitor - NO!
The next round of DRM is to extend to premium pay-for-view TV content.
Gaaaah! We really need to tell the whole entertainment industry to just f**k off with their stupidity.
The music industry survived the era of the compact cassette and home taping quite successfully.
The broadcasting industry survived the era of the video cassette without folding.
Cinema has survived the era of television, home videos, and dvds.
But now...
I mean if these sort of people where around a few decades ago we'd still be listening to pianolas and wouldn't even have home TV sets or even radio, we'd still be having to buy sheet music if we wanted the latest pop hit...
Retards.

As ye sow...
Why are human beings still chucking extremely dangerous and toxic waste out to sea and thinking that there's an end to it?
This sounds like karma to me.
Except of course it isn't the polluters who are directly suffering as a result of this.

uh uh - British Bombers
So it turns out the London bombers were British heh?
Oh shit - does this mean Prez Bush is going to send US troops in to invade Leeds?
You know - with his 'war on terror' policies and all that?

Hawk eye - Hawk pit
I made a comment on this photo in Whipflash's photostream: a quite innocent "shaved armpits?"
It got deleted. What's that about? Have I commited some sort of a cardinal sin in merely noticing that this model has no armpit hair?
Weird.

23-6-801 solved
the answer to this little conundrum was finally posted on the offical Doctor Who website.
It was simply a mistake they made on the Psalms board (there is no 801th psalm) in episode 8 (Father's Day) and they turned it into an in-joke on the sneak preview 'making of' diary WhoSpy - photoshopping it into a few of the pictures. Just to tease us obsessives into a frenzy.
Cool huh?
Well I think so.

Wonderfalls
The first episode was on Sky one tonight. I was looking forward to it because it was by the writer of 'Dead Like Me' -Bryan Fuller. Here's an interview I found with him.
I didn't know he was openly gay either. How cool is that?
PS. How many people working on Dr Who were gay? Watching the 'Confidentials' on BBC three certainly had my gaydar running burning hot...

comments spam
I'm wondering just why it is on-line casinos are the worst offenders when it comes to comments spam?
You can tell I've just had another -albeit fairly feeble and harmless attack can't you.

Tories would repeal 'illiberal' ID cards law, says Davis.
Sure they would. I bet the Tories are rubbing their hands in glee that it's the Labour party who are going to get the flack from all this rather than them. Not when the Tories where touting the idea of them the last time they were in power.

Billy West
What? You don't know who he is? What? Have you been living under a rock for the past 10 years?
He's the voice of Ren & Stimpy, and Fry out of Futurama.
