No British Soaps but the wife does watch "Days of our Lives". I've noticed that you can skip years and still know what's going on with that show. What rubbish!

I remember something similar happening with the Cosby show - the story lines stayed the same, the only way you could distinguish between the series was the age of the child actors.

Yes, well, one friend studied there and one grew up there (both British) and they say it that way.

I knew there was something slightly fishy about him. And by fishy I mean wooden. And by wooden I mean waxy.

 

Still, it's amazing the preservative quality a lacquer of wax can afford the waxee isn't it? What must he be now - 96? And doesn't look a day beyond 80.

"The landscape is punctuated by distant birds, that allude to Georges Braque, arcing across a Malevich-like suprematist sun. The juxtaposition of the tiny copse on the horizon, reminiscent of Jean Arp, with the Dürer inspired towering dandelion emulates a cinematic dolly zoom effect. From icon painting to Photoshop, via botanical textbooks and cartoon cells, Androecium works as an uncanny mise en scène. "

I heard an American refer to Tunisia as "choo-nee-shah" the other day. It made me very angry.

If anyone's interested in going ons in Libya and Egypt as they happen Andy Carvin on Twitter is good to follow. Bare in mind he'll flood your feed and some of it is harrowing stuff but he's good.

What about those of us interested in the goings on, but in a literate and coherent form, preferably with some evidence of journalistic ability, instead of a bunch of uncontexted retweeted crud? :@

That's Twitter Peter. There's noise, there's bullshit and then there's truth and there's quite poignant stuff.

 

I suggest you go to your local newsagents and buy a newspaper.

Also, why is the UN so shit at all this stuff!?

As far as I can tell, everyone in the whole world thinks Garfield should piss off.

Why can't they park a handful of big battleships in the Med and tell him to do it?

I'll buy you a sketch book, some Pritt Stick and you can do it yourself.

Seriously though, the point of following an unfolding news story on Twitter for me is you've got 1,000s of sources coming from all directions, from all view points and you treat each one with your own journalistic scepticism. It's messy, and it's harder than reading a newspaper, but I think you get a better idea and a wider understanding of what's going on.

I don't think Libyan's "Rebels" (I fucking hate that word, they went from 'Protesters' to 'Rebels' at the point they started getting slaughtered) want foreigners coming in and actually intervening. I don't think they'd mind being helped but they don't want an Iraq situation.
