Enjoyed Dark Skies, could do with a 2nd series. Also liked The Event shown last year, again a 2nd series should be done. Watched Alcatraz recently, not outstanding but it was OK. Unfortunately it got the chop before the end of the series so you were left hanging.

You would think that they'd give other Ministers notice that it was going to happen so that they didn't appear in the papers saying the opposite. Gives the impression of policy making on the fly.

On the same day that the Transport Secretary says that fuel duty will definitely rise in August to reduce the deficit , Osborne performs U-turn number 473 (actually about 33) and scraps it. Left hand not knowing what right hand is doing?

If you can get near the cat, give it a bloody good soaking with a hosepipe or a bucket of water. Cats hate water and they'll soon get the message.

A peregrine looks as if it's wearing trousers as it's plumage extends almost to it's feet. I've got a stuffed one in a glass case (inherited from an elderly relative).

30Mb download 3Mb upload. That nice Mr Branson is doubling it to 60Mb next month at no extra cost. In use I actually get about 25Mb.

Are you taking the p*ss?

Surrey batsman (son of Matthew) died after being hit by a tube train. Only 23 - tragic.

What a bunch of nancy boys! What's wrong with wire wool and sheep fat?

Is it a true story??

Imagine the half-time queues at St Marys.....

Chrome - faster than IE although I occasionally come across sites that will only properly work with IE.

Obviously admirers of the McCanns.

Brilliant place. We were there for 5 days - not nearly long enough. Loads to see and do, the natives are quite direct but very friendly. Went on a Virgin package and stayed on West 34th St near Macys and the Empire State. Not a place to go if you're on a diet as the portions are huge.

We've often used Geeves in Shirley. Always reliable and very reasonable. 02380783270

I believe that she did attend in 2007 but 1976 was the last time that she handed out the medals. Obviously she thought that after Saints everything else would be an anti-climax.

Now on The Echo site. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/9744892.Criticism_for_Saints_over_tickets_for_visually_impaired_fans/

On Radio Solent. Don't know if there are any concessions.

Announced this morning. Penny-pinching or hard-headed commercial sense??

Bring Out the Bodies by Hilary Mantell. The sequel to Wolf Hall continuing the story of Thomas Cromwell as chief advisor and fixer for Henry VIII. Henry has his eye on Jane Seymour and Cromwell has to come up with a way of removing his present wife, Anne Boleyn.

Not good news for Gary Barlow according to the Daily Mash: Gary Barlow trapped in Queen's arse SURGEONS are working to free Take That toady Gary Barlow after he became wedged inside the Queen. Barlow wore a special shiny suit to reduce friction. The singer and organiser of Buckingham Palace’s Diamond Jubilee Concert had been fawning over the monarch during a meeting about what colour trousers Madness should wear. When she fell asleep, he clambered into her backside. Unfortunately his passage into the Queen’s body was blocked by antipodean lickspittle Rolf Harris, who already resides in her colon where he has a permanent studio. Surgeons now have less the 24 hours to remove Barlow from Her Majesty’s lower intestine before jubilee celebrations begin. Doctor Stephen Malley said: “Barlow has somehow become wedged sideways in the Queen, I think because he was trying to punch and kick Rolf Harris. “We’re trying to get a rope around his torso so we can drag him out like a calf.” He added: “Ordinarily we would let Gary Barlow pass through the Queen’s body naturally or with the aid of mild laxatives, but given the impending celebrations we have to be more aggressive. “This weekend the world’s media will be focused on the Queen, and were she to give rectal birth to a middle-aged man in the midst of it all there would be an absolute furore. “Also of course Barlow would then technically be a prince, and the Queen would have to give him a county and a special soldier outfit, neither of which he deserves.”

So was Phil ****ging his sister-in-law or was the dad someone else??

Steve Baker, especially after the 2-0 home defeat against P*mpey at The Dell where he was at fault for both goals. To be fair, he always gave maximum effort and could probably had a good career a league or two below the top flight. Oddly enough, my nipper is now mates with his son.

I'd be careful if I were you........... http://newsthump.com/2012/05/28/sol-campbell-warns-england-fans-at-euro-2012-they-risk-seeing-team-play/
