Is it that time again?  Is it truly Halloween?  Which means it’s less than a week till none stop mini Beruit in the majority of people’s back gardens (weather permitting of course) - sigh!  Guy Fawkes has a lot to answer for!! Wonder what this country would be like had he succeeded in blowing up parliament; goodness knows it needs blowing up these days the state this country has gotten into but then that’s just my opinion.  At least I live in a nation where I can freely share my opinion without fear of reprisals (stops a moment, looks around with paranoid eyes) - yeah…..(gulp)…

Meh!  It’s all gravy.

I have heard it all now, the guys behind Tora Bora once responsible as a refuge to the terrorism of Al Qaeda wants to move away from Terrorism and towards Tourism; I ask - What’s the difference??

Sorry about the post drought for the past few days, I have been struck down by MAN FLU!!! for the past week or so, and it’s grew to it’s climax around Monday(ish)…

…Lucky I am feeling lots better today, and I am even wearing PINK in honour of Breast Cancer Research - “Wear it Pink” Day!

..OK…ok……

I “know” I was very critical when Doctor Who was brought back to our screens (I can’t trackback since it lies in a different blog that is a bit broken right now) - but tonight I watched the first couple of episodes of “TORCHWOOD” an adult spin-off of Doctor Who

First impressions?  Why couldn’t Doctor Who be more like this?! I really enjoyed it, there were some class one liners in there and if this is the shape of things to come, it is promising; I still feel it needs to mature a little -  but then so did Friends and Star Trek Next Generation and look at the cult status of those now! 

I am certainly willing to give this some more time (sorry about the pun) - Mr Russell Davies get’s a tentative thumbs up from me on this one
