    News outlets were doing the same in Boston..."how are you, were you scared?" Get back to inaccurately reporting details and stop bothering the traumatized, for ****'s sake.

    Sandy Hook was the worst for that, with news outlets forcing interviews out of hysterical children.

    Agreed. That's what tragic events news stories appear to be these days. It isn't at all in the public interest, but if one news reporter doesn't do it, another will. It feeds the ghoulish mentality in everyone, though the older I get the more I want to look away, or not even become curious.

    They're feeding our rubberneck curiosity to witness injury and despair. It's not news.

    The FA have told Spennymoor who are in the Northern League, that they must complete their matches by May 6th to be able to get promoted. So in 19 days they will have 11 games. <laugh>

    That fertiliser plant explosion reminds me of Buncefield. Except this time it's not luckily on a Sunday morning.

    Buncefield? Yeah it opened all the cupboards in my house. We thought our boiler had exploded or something.

    Spennymoor have asked the FA if they can have 10 extra days, so far the FA have said no.

    I love that film. Totally preposterous plot but fabulous locations, and Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood are brilliant.

    It's funny how old films suddenly catch you in the right mood. I had a hankering to watch Horatio Hornblower RN with Gregory Peck from the 1950's and [OK, I'm reading the books] so I searched ebay for the DVD. It arrived the other week and I couldn't stop myself from watching it pronto.

    And it was great, I bloody loved it. Reasonably faithful to the books covered too.

    Yes, I like Where Eagles Dare too. :)
