William can do it...
I am glad to see William Hague is Foreign Secretary.

Heroes!

Just watched the last episode of Heroes (Series 4): Bring back the evil Sylar, no more mister nice guy! Sylar, you know you are not 'nice', it's just the remnants of Nathan Petrelli in your mind! Thank goodness Sylar took care of Doyle and not before time!

Comment: Ruination through Tourism Provisions, examples

Can't 'they' just leave it alone?!: Brecon Beacons Waterfall Trail Receives £20K Facelift.
Don't say "gone are the days" when we rambled through bramble and briar, but if the people do not stand up to these 'facelifts' they are in danger of being real, and the UK boring!
See 'Nature's Places' page for more (not just the Brecon story - updated as and when).

Egan Alert!

Peter Egan has been spotted as Sherlock Holmes!
Mon 22 - Sat 27 February (2 months ago, yes I know!) at the Windsor Theatre Royal, its run does end at the Arts Theatre, Cambridge on 24th April. The near-ubiquitous master-of-suave's co-star is Philip Franks (Dr Watson) who was excellent in the TV adaption of Dickens' Martin Chuzzlewit. Philip Franks Heartbeat link. [awaiting photo]
Comments -
Bedroom Farce (Jasper Britton link with Bedroom Farce, and The Last Cigarette on stage with Prevost) is on at Windsor also, so if you want to see (what looks like) Nicholas Le Prevost in pyjamas get on down. Better than watching Simon Callow have an ego-trip at Windsor in July.

Peter Egan in national press: Daily Mail c.01/08/2010 - the suave-smoothy catches the ol' critics eye once again, yes once again.

News to come -
Jeffery Holland has been spotted:

Oi! I'd do it!

In Classic style Professor Brian Cox turned in a great mind-warp moment, it is my pleasure to uncover the workings...

Scene 1 - Brian enters and walks through the cave system explaining:
"...Although this cave is a death-trap for us [humans]... look at these fish!"
Distracted by cave-dwelling fish in a 'death-trap', all the while the moments are ticking by and as long as Brian's still smiling we know he is not suffering the effects of...

Scene 2 - The noxious atmosphere:
"...the concentration of gas (hydrogen sulphide) was strong enough to set off my alarm".
He walked deeper into the cave with the alarm growing ever louder.

Scientist Prof. Brian Cox does not matabolise Hydrogen Sulphide but mere Oxygen like the rest of us scientists or not! The black-ish humour abounds, m'dears.

BBC Secrets of The Solar System presented by Prof. Brian Cox, sundays. Although the programme is more like Earth Science meets Astrophysics, hence the cave environment on Earth possibly having a planetary replicer on Io, which is a satalite (moon) of Jupiter.

Comment - BBC

'Over the Rainbow' is another digraceful, judgemental, Webber-engrandising TV programme full of harassement, which promotes self-loathing and the unhealthy approval-seeking of others. And if that wasn't enough for you here's a whole load more...
(If you do not know the show, please take a look at the 'Over the Rainbow' link because it will not be explained on this Blog, thank you.)

Marine Reserve Created - good news

Chagos Islands Marine Life get International Protection

Miliband does something right for once!

 UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband has actually, in all his time in Office, done something good to preserve the world's Environment, Ecosystem, and Biodiversity. I hope this 'ownership' of this Island which lies in the Indian Ocean Archipelago is really protected, I do not want to hear, 20 years down the line that a scandalous politician has decided that since it is so rich in minerals and fish that s/he sanctions fishing to start on it again, that would be a disaster. It has to be protected for INFINITY.

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'.
