Social Security – US style
I have a message for Mr. Bush – Shrub variety. (My apologies for shouting but I feel the need.) SOCIAL SECURITY IS NOT BROKEN. IT DOES NOT NEED FIXING. There seem to be many who don’t realise social security is … Continue reading

UK election results are mainly in
For an indepth review of the results check out this page at the Beeb. My home seat is a safe labour seat so not much to report on that front. The labour candidate got 50% of the vote which was … Continue reading

Sahara
Trash. Feels like an amalgam of several other movies cobbled together in the faint hope we won’t notice the joins. They even rip off Thunderheart, one of my all time favourites. Arghhhhhh!!!! Matthew McConaughey has zero screen chemistry with Penelope … Continue reading

The UK votes tomorrow!
One of the things I love about British elections is how fast they go. (One of the advantages of not working with fixed terms.) It only seems like yesterday when I heard my first party election broadcast on Five Live. … Continue reading

When my techie flunky upgraded WeatherGirl’s Station something broke and comments appear to be no more. Lead suspect is the theme I’m using. Said flunky is currently drowning under a staggering weight of work so I can’t really bug him … Continue reading

The Odyssey
I’ve been getting a huge Homer fix recently. The Junior High production of The Odyssey was quite an achievment. The cast really worked hard to bring this story to life and some of the kids are already showing much talent … Continue reading

Hitch
LOL fun! A fun couple of hours during which I laughed out loud many times. Will Smith has great charisma and is always worth watching. The plot is pretty formulaic but worth a couple of hours in a darkened cinema. … Continue reading
