It's Back
http://www.channel4.com/bigbrother/
I have been out of the country the last couple of years and suffering withdrawal symptoms from this show. I can see that I will be annoying the missus greatly as I sit up until 3am every day watching the housemates arguing about bugger all. My mother thinks that it is a show for moron's and my friends are of the opinion that only sad people and voyeurs can possibly be interested in this rubbish. I guess that this must sum me up then!
It's all started great with Makosi being given the task of getting the most nominations from her housemates in tomorrows rounds. She has been doing a great job of irritating them but I fear that her stunning looks may cost her some votes. Let's hope not as it would be a travesty if she had to leave. In the past the stupid British public have voted out the most interesting characters too early. Keep the girls in I say and get rid of that pompous Italian twat who is constantly looking at the camera and speaking directly into the microphone. I never trust anyone who excercises in the morning.
BB is the original and the best. Other TV companies have attempted reality shows but not come close - especially the ones with C list celebrities who are up their own arses even though nobodies ever heard of them. Happy days for the next 11 weeks apart from the trouble and strife giving me GBH of the earole!

Indian woman chops off husbands penis

Thus explodes the myth of demure little Asian brides. I suppose her husband was taking the piss a bit by actually bringing a prostitute home for tea!

At least the Maltese seem to have analysed the problem. The Eurovision song contest, yet again, was nothing to do with singing but more to do with cliques of countries voting for eachother (Balkans, Nordics etc) despite how horrendous the song was. This left the four countries that have a better musical reputation and who actually fund the whole competition huddled together at the bottom of the pile. That is the UK, France, Spain and Germany. To be fair the French song was very dissapointing this year. They normally do better. The other three were as good if not better than the rest.
Since the former Soviet States have joined the merry throng there has been a worrying trend to include folk music themes. If Europe is to be a serious threat to US popular music we really must try to be inventive. Not churn out beefed up old folk songs. Maybe we should enter Steeleye Span as our competitor next year?

It's a donkey's life!
http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/05/11/udonkey.xml Donkeys on Blackpool Beach that give children rides for a living have been offered a new set of conditions. They can only work a maximum of a 48 hour week, must have at least an hour for lunch, get one full day off and they get free medical care including a dental checkup. Who could begrudge these affable creatures their rights - but wouldn't it be nice if humans were treated as well.
Welcome back
Over recent years the sparrow population of London diminished to almost zero. Some of the best brains in the country and a campaign by The Independent newspaper sought the reason why but to no avail. Was it some unknown disease or an increase in predators? These noisy but lovable little birds are spread throughout the world and rub shoulders with other exotic species in the tropics as well as the arctic regions.
This year I have noticed a family of at least eight sparrows feeding in my garden alongside the blue tits, robins, blackbirds, starlings and wood pigeons. There is also a pair nesting in the eaves over the front of my house. Although not in the numbers they used to be it's a sign that they may be making a long awaited comeback.

First Blog
Hi. This is my first post. Decided to try out this system as it is a constant update and not a site that appears out of date if left alone for more than a couple of weeks. To see that theory in practise you can check out my iffy website at http://www.geocities.com/geoffhenson
