In the news.

So first off Burma, with reports of tear-gas, shooting and arrests against the Buddhist Monks. Damn straight too sure they may be unarmed and say they're non-violent, but I've seen the movies they're all kung-fu bad-asses; better to get them out of the way now.

Our illustrious leader Golden Brown laid down his sternness on the junta by demanding that they 'don't shoot too many of their unarmed civilians please, pretty please, we'll be your friends if you don't'. Shrub laid down his law insisting on more punishing sanctions against them and their backers, so that would be the Chinese - the ones who are holding a ton of your debt and could crash or at least seriously devalue the dollar. Expect a finger wagging.

Of course it's easy to go for Burma, we don't really get anything important from them otherwise we'd never have let them gain independence in 1948. The Chinese supply them with weapons, the Indians buy their gas. If the Western world (or at least its companies) had major holdings their it'll be 'Go Junta' rallies with reports of violence being 'greatly exaggerated by the media'.


UFOs, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and Madeline McCann; the connection - myriad sightings backed up by grainy photos.


Caught the Mark Ronson video featuring Amy Winehouse performing a cover of "Valerie" by the Zutons and was surprised at how well Amy had scrubbed up; one close-up revealed off course that it wasn't actually her in the video. Perhaps she should think about employing that young women as a stage double, she could do the hard bits like standing upright on stage while Amy can lounge backstage with the microphone and a bottle of vodka; just a thought.
