  • Quiz Night

    Despite the fact that we've just received some shocking news in the family, the quiz tonight will go ahead as usual over on The Official Quick Quiz site at the usual time.

    Just thought I'd let you all know, in case I don't appear as upbeat and chipper as usual tonight.

  • Misplaced Values

    I was sickened last night by the news media, and sickened again this morning.

    How much airtime was given over by the BBC to that freakshow of a memorial to a faded pop star (and alleged paedophile) compared with the airtime given to the unveiling of the memorial to the 52 innocent victims of the 7/7 London bombings?

    How many column inches did said freakshow take up this morning compared similarly with the 7/7 memorial?

    For the sake of whoever's in charge around here, people! Someone has shown a shed-load of bad taste with the timing there. If MJ died at the end end of August, would they hold such a mawkish and macabre ceremony on September 11?

    We need to keep things in perspective here, please!
