Weston–super–fire

Writing about web page http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/7528165.stm

I don’t like Weston-Super-Mare, by which I mean I really don’t like Weston-Super-Mare.

This – http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/somerset/7528165.stm – is sad news though.

There's hope for America yet!

Mika Brzezinski is added to the list of modern heroines – giving the Paris Hilton story the kicking it deserved. Maybe there is hope for American journalism yet.

Now, if only someone could have a word with the Express about Princess Diana or the other tabloids about Big Brother. Ugh.

RIP Ronnie Barker

BBC has just announced that Ronnie Barker has died.

Personally I think Barker was involved in two great comedy moments – the 'class' sketch with John Cleese and Ronnie Corbett, one of those great pieces of 60s social satire, and the Porridge series.

And whilst many might dismiss most of the two ronnies stuff, they certainly made christmas a bit more bearable, and produced a few fine moments. Fork Handles and the ordering drinks sketches spring to mind.

Well, it's goodnight from him.
