Oi! British sitcoms and the eclectic, raving, down right funny, and clever British TV that now only exists in repeats.

Unofficial title: There's something funny and 'awful' (awful meaning funnier) in British drama/sitcom.
Features on this Page include: Nick Berry as a harbour master in Harbour Lights (drama), it just makes me laugh because he was a policeman in Heartbeat. He was hot property and in Berrynian circles I believe still is. I'm not saying that he does not have the ability to train and be a harbour master in real life, and of course if you met him as a harbour master and didn't know the actor you'd not think anything different.

Pete was here... in a twist of Sitcom-related ubiquitousness, Mr Egan plays Latymer... strains of Don't Wait Up! me thinks.

Human Rights, Global Post: Opinion 26/02/10

Get behind Sarkozy & France - ban the burqa. This important subject has been making current affairs headlines for so long now, and I personally am totally against the burqua/religious symbolism and anything which diminishes the female population (to put it mildly). I will try to get a more comprehensive, French-based article (when I find one) on this subject where, in my opinion, France has the strongest voice and potential to make a real difference.

30/04/2010 Update: Thank You Belgium. Belgian Lawmakers have voted in favour of a law banning the wearing of repressive religious garment, the burqa et al.

17/07/2010 Update: Thank you France. French MPs Vote to Ban Islamic Full Veil I hope they don't just ban the "full veil" but all types of headress, as well as this, I hope they fight against the clandestine repression which could be operating within small non-French communities in relation to this 'garment'.
