The latest indignity as part of the fallout from Cameron’s Folly. That lovely blue oval with golden stars surrounding the proud letters GB wil have to go before I can drive across the Emerald Isle once more. The number plate, with its Euroean band and a little version of GB must also be replaced. Halfords will be chuckling all the way to the bank. Good job my passport is now a deep shade of blue.
ATM: What Movie Did I Watch Last Night?
I don’t know, see. Because the satellite movie channel here broadcasts movies with the title and the credits lopped off.

I missed the first few minutes, but the story involved a couple of young nogoodniks in LA, who were both trying to get jobs while pulling off violent gang heists in LA. Didn’t recognise the actors, to my shame, but one looked like a more finely-chiselled Vinnie Jones, sort of. Close-trimmed nut. His buddy, smaller, had a bit of a greasy quiff going for him.

Where do I start, are there two or three ‘must haves’ or am I better off getting one of the compilations? Advice please good people.
The BBC…end of the road.
Those daring young men at the BBC are planning some lovely Poverty Porn for us.
They will find “Britain’s Hardest Grafter” in a Hunger Games style show that pits low paid workers against each other, specifically targeting young graduates who haven’t found a job yet.
