Their pic shows Phil Glenister... now that would be interesting!

My Amazon order for Small Favours is down as despatching soon - which I'm hoping to mean they post it tomorrow, meaning I get on Wednesday, a day before it is due out here *is impatient*. I haven't been this anxious getting a delivery since LOM DVDs. I won't be around much the day or so it comes out =)

Enjoy it David.

$1bn. Or, if you are like me. £511 million. That is a lot of money tied up in subscriptions to MMOs.

Nice to see FFXI (even if they did report the name inaccurately) holding out at the third most popular.

Ok it sounds like all i do it watch tv. But seriously, it is not like that.

Trailer for the new series of Life on Mars (watch it, it is a good show). Soooooooooo 70s. And yes, I remember Camberwick Green.

Props to the BBC for inventiveness.

Yeah, we are at war in Afghanistan and in Iraq, but the question on our MP's lips - Is Jade Goody being racist towards Shilpa in the Big Brother house??

So this is what we pay our high rate of taxes for....

My spin on it? The nature of Big Brother is basically to keep adults as children (tasks for food, punishments when bad, rewards when good). Remember when you were at school, and the bully would attack the very good looking but aloof one? Exactly the situation we have here. Jade is the school bully, Jo and Danielle her cronies, and Shilpa caught in the crossfire. I don't think there is any racism intended - Jade has always struck me as too simplistic to be racist. I mean - 25th most influential (lol) person in the world?

Been watching the first season of the remake of Dr Who on DVD - it was good. I guess I didn't realise how teasingly Russell Davies has been adding hints about the end of the Time Lords etc when I watched it first time round. I mean, it took till this Christmas special for the Doctor to admit he was from Gallifrey. Have to admit though, David Tennant > Christopher Eccleston, though at the time CE was good, just David Tennant is for me the ultimate Doctor.

Damn Torchwood was fine. Adult, entertaining, great stories, and I don't care if he is gay, but John Barrowman sure is easy on the eye!

Also - Deo takes better pics than me!

Go out to lunch with a friend, come back, this is on the news. Nearly fall asleep at desk with the awful stench of new carpet, go downstairs to get a HUGE cup of tea, this is still on the news as the main story with live feed. Slow day over here...
