Death List 2008 – Jeremy Beadle

So Beadle’s no longer about.

A shame.

Many would say he was a cunt but I’m not one of those. I was impressed with his intelligence, sincerity and character which were apparent in a number of interviews. Here was a man whose personality was far removed from the public persona.

I’m also sorry, I didn’t [...]

Derek’s other son

Here’s dodgy Derek’s other son, Henry, the one that may get his father into even more trouble.

If you can get into more trouble, that is, than having to repay The House of Commons money, publicly apologising for forgetting to mention number one son’s job but not mentioning son number two, then being found [...]

Bad IT day

It’s been a bad day.

1. My bedroom PC chewed up another hard drive. That makes 4 and so eventually the penny has dropped – I could not be that unlucky to have bought so many defective drives. It has to be the PC. So it’s now in the bottom of the rubbish bin handily [...]

Kiss of death

The Select Committee on Standards and Privileges [...]

Bible porn

Proof that the Bible contains some pretty strong stuff – but donkey porn! And they make children read this????

Ezekiel 23 23:1 The word of the Lord came to me: 23:2 “Son of man, there were two women who were daughters of the same mother. 23:3 They engaged in prostitution in Egypt; in their youth [...]

Death List 2008 – Suharto

So Suharto has shuffled off this mortal coil – eventually, and the world is a better place for his passing. Not least because I gain my first Death List point of 2008.

Read the link and make up your own mind about this quiet chap who murdered between half and one million people, on seizing [...]

Gaelic TV

Great news – the BBC in Scotland is setting up a new digital service for the Gaelic speakers. It’s not cheap.

“Distribution costs

Meanwhile, the trust has concluded that the Gaelic Zone on BBC 2 will continue for the foreseeable future. The GDS service will cost £20.8m-per-year in total, of which GMS will contribute £10.1m [...]
