I wouldn't worry too much, my opinion on the McCann disappearance was dismissed because i had a picture of Noel Gallagher as my avatar at the time

Granted and i agree with that, there are plenty of actual quotes they could have actually used.

The thing is some people seem to think all doctors and nurses are angels and that criticising them is so form of crime, i'm proud of the NHS but then i've never been on the negative side of them, my wife, a former NHS worker, has a rather reserved view of them due to personal circumstances, and has an extremely negative view of the MaCmillan nurses, who she doesn't regard as the saints the general population like to make them out as, after hearing what happened to her mother it does make me weary.
Not liking the NHS is a fact for quite a few people.

The article in hand though is generally drawn on the legally acceptable limit of the racist line, the lazy journalism aside, it's a needless hate filled piece of crap, but we live in a land of free speech and it's better to air it and debate than ban and punish.

Getting back to the ceremony, If you watch it on the bbc iplayer the section between 11 and 25 minutes about the industrial revolution is absolutely superb. I especially loved the music. Think its called And i will kiss by Underworld.

Yes, it's very wrong.


If she looks like anyone, surely it's Odo (?) from Star Trek DS9?

Any 'news' story that is basically consists of "you have Twitter. So here's something you probably read yesterday" / "You don't have Twitter. Here's something you could have read if you did" deserves no space in a newspaper or online, imnvho. Journalism ≠ +C and +V, with the odd loaded adjective ("vile"icon_wink.gif thrown in.

I am not particularly interested in the whole Olympic circus, but couldn't help but notice the 'talent' of Zara Dampney, one of the GB Beach Volleyball players!

Not just eye candy...apparently she aspires to be a lawyer but has put her studies on hold to do the Beach Volleyball circuit for a few years.

I don't imagine she will have too much trouble finding a law firm to take her on.

Legal briefs, stand up in court, in her chambers etc...etc....

Likening beach volleyball players as "wet otters".

I thought he was an educated bloke, surely he knows the difference between an otter and a beaver
