Jab We Met
Film review: You have to go see this film. No matter that you haven't ever seen an Indian film, or even a Hindi film. For a little over two and half hours ( with it has to be said a ten minute interval "Hallelujah a toilet break")you will be transported literally on a journey that entices,amuses,and entertains you.
It is out this week and I beg you to go see it before the distributors pull it on Thursday.
That old chestnut of a film called Brief Encounter looks staid and positively flat in comparison to this film.
There is such counterpoint and interplay that I even want to go and see it again.
No other film save Return of the Jedi has had a repeat viewing in the cinema from me in the recent past.

My head hurts...
I shall blog after Monday.. right now I have a headache. There is so much that is flying around with the full moon just gone and other stuff that comes with this time of this particular month including the clocks going back on Sunday morning (if you didn't remember then this is your chance to get an extra hour of time for sleeping and the rest...)
For me personally it means that there are now five months of dark evenings but I don't care.. I have a lightbox so summer is always present if I need it.
Apologies to regular readers.. there are some... but Henry is catching up with some decent quality time and trying to catch up with friends, listen to music and generally heal so there isn't going to be some sharp witty comment here for a bit because well Sunday signals the herald of it getting dark before you go home in the evening from work.
I try to think of it as governmental induced jetlag twice a year to put it into a different perspective so I guess this does have a political slant in some respects.
Anyway there is always Musings my other blog for you to read and digest if you feel the need to probe further...

Following Devils Kitchen
Surprise surprise and there I was commenting on his assassination on Devils Kitchen as well...
Coincidence?
Ministry of Love
Aka the Ministry of Justice. I had this thought when I was watching the breakfast news this morning. A rather apt description I think.

Blogging on a Saturday night
Oh dear its got to this has it? Everyone else in the universe is watching the rugby on tv ( I assume they are) but I'm firmly square eyed on the laptop.
Lots of political intrigue and machinations this week , the Eu treaty in Lisbon, than you very much Gordon ....Not.., 2 suicide bombers in Pakistan almost getting rid of Benazir Bhutto who survived even though she was just two feet away and Dumbledore has been outed by JK Rowling.
What a week.

England in the Rubgy World Cup Final again!
Score last night 14-9 to England.
The final is going to be one hell of a fight I should imagine.

Ramadan in Space
The first Muslim Astronaut who is due in space during Ramadan has been given special dispensation.
Interesting because I was having a discussion with Mark Wadsworth about how you could keep Ramadan in the Arctic or the Antarctic.

Enemybook
Remember Arsebook? well now there is a Facebook user that has created an application called Enemybook.
God knows why but its there. Main page link here
Edit and Update:

Edit and Update:
Enemybook is an antisocial utility that disconnects you
to the so-called friends around you.
Enemybook is a Facebook app that allows you to manage your enemies as well as your friends. With Enemybook you can add people as facebook enemies, specify why they are your enemies, notify your enemies, see who lists you as an enemy, and even become friends with the enemies of your enemies. Ever wanted to "enemy" somebody instead of friend them? Finally you can. This app remedies the one-sided perspective of Facebook.
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer...

The Slaughter of the Lambs
One quarter of a million lambs to be exact. Link here
Why can't they be delivered to the shops? Why do they have to be made in to biodiesel?
This concerns me.
There is a lack of cheap meat out there and they are just wasting this food. Indeed it is pure and total waste, bit like the government eh?
Lamb is a nutritious meat, why can't the public have some?
One is highly racked off....geddit?

Fast Friends on the M1 Motorway
Yesterday the M1 was closed between junctions 25 and 26 in both directions. Link here
I was caught up going south about a mile before the actual accident, and we all dutifully stopped on the motorway and were stationary. I switched off my car and got out and took my camera with me because I happened to have it in the car and I took a few photos. Then the persons in the two cars in front of me started to have a chat the first one saying to the person immediately in front of me that it was her 45th birthday.
So I went over wished her a happy birthday we both sang Happy Birthday to her and we introduced our selves and we started to chat as if we had met each other after a long time. I then got birthday girl to take a photo of me standing in the fast lane by the Subsidence sign.
The traffic then started to move. So we said our goodbyes and went on our merry ways.
Amazing! I will add the photo to this post when I get it back from the developers....( yes I used my film camera yesterday!)
It was a totally good experience.

New Zealand wants its Maori's back
This is a follow up story to yesterday's post. Link Here
15 percent of Maoris live outside of New Zealand their ancestral home.
I hate to say it but if you up sticks and leave your ancestral home there has to be a reason. 15% is a heavy percentage.
It brings me back to New Zealand's laws and ways of life. If you ain't sheeple there you give your self problems. That is truly sad is it not?
Plus you have to pay to see your GP about $40 NZ a pop, Welfare ( ie benefits) are only about $140 a week so you can see why healthcare in the primary sector is rubbish unless you are not poor. The poor are generally Maori.
