In a sign of support for our military, McDonalds are teaming up with the RAF Regiment to give new Happy Meal toys

Very sad to hear of the death of Michael Angelis , a top class actor who i always thought added greatly to anything he appeared in .

Curtis ripping Grant is brilliant.

Great sound . Strong words . America seems to have many areas set aside for nature (and people) things can always be better , how you make them better with population growth i've no idea . UK looked into how the national parks / wilderness areas are operated in America to see if any ideas could be transferred over here . In some areas you can use offroad bikes/cars etc bit of a free for all . Areas that allow access in 4x4 s on man made track . Nothing was used over here as our areas of national parks are not large enough to allow these sorts of activities to take place .

Love this band, Shearwater. The lead singer is an ornithologist, hence the band name. His lyrics are superb. Most songs are about the relationship between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom. These are the lyrics to Wildlife in America and they are damning: Back before Back in our school days You were wild-eyed Before the damage was done We tasted that fear in our mouths on Sundays But you know You know it's not living When the wildfires Were burning out on the lawn You held your arms out Primed for the ready line With your crusader cross And your small-dose amphetamine Gunning for the hours when the sparks rain down But you can't remember Which was the last war Or who it is now When every shadow is a Saladin Look at me You must be dreaming We must be dreaming Now they've gone Scaled up and on the roads They roll their heavy ranks over With an ancient song "Stay away from old thoughts Old doubts and old feelings." But keeping it so far down isn't easy And you know it's too late Late for a last war And it's too late To back out of (your) real life Into firelight You must be dreaming We must be dreaming Billy's in position He's rolling into town Kicking in the door That er's never coming down He feels the slightest murmuration A shiver in the heat Skinny dogs and safety glass that's shattered in the street It looks like diamonds You've got your mother's eyes You've got your father's heart Look what it did to him, did to him, did to him, did to him....

In keeping with the political sub forum.....

Worst job I ever had .........
