Today is hotter than yesterday and we expect rain, that is the preview of the weather office. The snow is going.

 

Does the BBC work for or against Britain. All I see is criticism but they do make good television documents.

 

Morning all. Its dark, wet cold and miserable here in cambridge. As a result most of the county has come to a standstill because people refuse to get wet! TGIF!!!

 

oh dear...they don't sound very bright!

 

Morning all. Very wet here, and i need to get to Vicarage Road. I just don't know if i can be bothered with the traffic! It's rubbish at the best of times. Hmm. Meanwhile, i'm packing. We're off to Leeds this weekend to visit Mr H's twin and sis-in-law. Usually a fairly dull affair, but i'm really only there a day and a half as i'm heading back early sunday for work. My brother in law isn't too impressed at my diet specifications, though he doesn't seem to understand we're coming to see them, not to eat! lol

I was sorely tempted to get a ticket for Middlesbrough, being as we're going to be so close, but i think i'd have been shot if i'd even mentioned it, especially as we're on the telly, so i'm keeping my mouth shut. The sacrifices we make for family!

 

Your fantastic H , I love the way your always thinking of the club , dont make a special trip to the vic on my behalf sweetie still plenty of time for that If you have to go to Leeds You could always watch the footy with Yorkie !

Cheers for the Coffee Ak

 

Thanks for the Coffee Ak, enjoyed the drink yesterday.

 

start polemic/ The Beeb tries to, and should, maintain an independent view point. It has often come into conflict with government agencies, notably security services. I think this is a good thing. A national broadcaster which is the lapdog of a government is more than half way to a totalitarian regime.
Self criticism and analysis is the only way to improve and move forward. / end polemic

What goes on in Iceland AK? Is the telly any good?

 

Aw thanks Norway. I might give them a ring instead, but i was trying not to incur the booking fee, coz i think it's a liberty! lol...i might just give them a ring about the flask, and if they've found it, i'll kill two birds with one stone

 

Noggy Vision is terrible hence Sky!

 

okay, no sign of the flask, so i need to go and buy one ...grrr! A quick trip to Waitose should do that..so i'll either head to Watford for your ticket another day Norway, or i'll call...either way, i should be able to get the seat next to us

 

Dont want you trekking to watford just on my behest H ,especially if its a yucky day !

 

Excited here cos the next story in 'The Killing' starts soon. Danish. So Norway doesn't do decent stuff like that? Just endless reruns of Noggin the Nog. Smashing.

 

So, shall i call the box office today or go up there another day? lol

 

That my dear is totally up to you , phoning the office sounds easiest to me

 

Okies, i'll do it in a bit

 

AK - Yes, the BBC makes some of the best programmes anywhere in the world. My gripe with them is their middle of the road, liberal stance when it comes to current affiars and politics - they should take to task and question harder anyone who puts themselves up for interview, otherwise they are just promoting an opinion. For instance, during the recent Dale Farm episode, why did they not ask the obvious questions such as:-

- Why where there no traveller men to be seen?
- How do the protestors earn a living

Another example is they continually interview people have just completed a survey on some pet topic, that shows some "amazing" statistic or claims to show the cost to the country is gadzillions of £'s. Yet they are never questioned in any detail as to how the data was collected and analysed and what assumptions were made. I have come to the conclusion that they no longer employ journalists that are trained to dig in and ask questions, but rather they employ presenters - and of course to be totally PC, they have to follow their diversity targets as well....

 

Hey Norway, decided to take a drive up there instead. I've got your ticket, it's a bargain! £10 and it's next to mine

 

Excellent , thanks honey Looking forward to it already!

 

you're welcome. I expect you'll finally get to meet Dan too!
