John Humphrys

I’ve been thinking this for a while, but is the most annoying, antagonistic, interviewer going… ever time I hear him interview people he just seems to force confrontation, has an air of superiority, becomes belittling, sarcastic, opinionated, and for me seems to be generally out of touch.

This morning he was interviewing Andy Duncan, the Chief Exec of Channel4, and to me Humphrys just came across as an out of touch pratt. It seems he doesn’t like most of what Channel4 shows, and thus it must be bad TV that lowers the tone of broadcasting.

I must make sure I turn off the radio whenever he’s on.

The Impossible Dream

The Impossible Dream

To dream the impossible dream,
to fight the unbeatable foe,
to bear with unbearable sorrow,
to run where the brave dare not go.

To right the unrightable wrong,
to love pure and chaste from afar,
to try when your arms are too weary,
to reach the unreachable star.

This is my quest,
to follow that star —
no matter how hopeless,
no matter how far.

To fight for the right
without question or pause,
to be willing to march into hell for a
heavenly cause.

And I know if I’ll only be true to this
glorious quest
that my heart will be peaceful and calm
when I’m laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this,
that one man scorned and covered with scars
still strove with his last ounce of courage.
To reach the unreachable stars.

How to choose wine

I was reading this old article by Evan Davis about “How to choose wine“. I thought it was an interesting article and decided to share.

The Dilbert Blog

The Dilbert BlogI’ve been reading Scott Adams ‘The Dilbert Blog‘ recently. He’s a great writer and observer. I’ve never been too keen on his Dilbert comic strips, but his writing on his blog is so entertaining… and often right on the money!

Ocean’s Eleven

I watched the original Ocean’s Eleven with , , et al, on Sunday. It was on the TV so I thought, why not?

What a terrible film it is! I really don’t like old films, even those that are classed as “classics”. I understand that film probably wouldn’t be where it is now without these old films, but on the whole the acting is terrible.

In this film, the acting is bad, the story is bad, the script is bad…
