Fuel for the fire

Yesterday we saw extremist Muslims break the 2 minute silence in Central London, with banners holding "British Soldiers Burn In Hell" and the burning of a large symbolic poppy. I'm not trying to stir things but despite this distasteful event it IS a free country and British forces fight to protect that freedom. The spiteful protest got them the publicity they obviously wanted, with news papers and TV stations reporting on it. There were status updates popping up all over facebook stating:

"Today saw Muslims break the 2 minute silence in Central London, with banners holding "British Soldiers Burn In Hell" & the burning of a poppy... If you don't like us English people paying respect for our brave fighters, then you know where the airport is. Disgusting, disrespectful b******s! Copy and paste this if you're British and... proud. R.I.P our brave fighters!"

These type of hard-liners are just like the IRA years ago, they can only achieve their aim by people giving them the publicity they crave. The majority of Muslims in this country are dragged down by the minority of others, like these extremists, which is a shame. I'm sure most indigenous Muslims will be mortified by the actions of a few so lets not tar everyone with the same brush or we risk the same thing happening back. And by that I mean being classed as extreme intolerant right wingers.

Remembrance day is a time of reflection and reverence, if a few who disprove choose to use venom and aggression, dont encourage it. As many of us pay our respects keep in mind the many who are fallen, injured and still serving this country in our armed forces today. Its not about war but sacrifice. Think about the peace they work so hard to protect.

Britians Got Talent

I don't usually watch vote in/reality/audition shows cause I don't like how they show all the OTT bad ones and take the mickey out of them. A prime example is DJ Talent - why did they buzz him of but put him through?? Idiots! - but once the show gets going and the good ones are through I enjoy it cause I like variety entertainment and especially dance groups like Flawless and Diveristy both groups were sharp but the latter had better moves and were funny too!) : )

I was watching clips and saw one about Hollie Steel, I love the style of her voice and also helps the song is from my favourite musical, My Fair Lady. I think it is a bit cheeky how they told a white lie but it was a pleasent surprise and I think she is wonderful : )

"Do Rei Me"

My Daddy sent this link and I really enjoyed it, I hope you do too : )



More than 200 dancers it is great. My favourite bit is when a coach load of kids come rushing in and dance down the stairs : D

Apparently after the T-Mobile "Life is for sharing" phone advert in Liverpool street station a few months back, lots of places have hold ups with large groups replicating dance scenes and clogging up the stations!

Lookit lookit!

All together now: "Its cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere...." Well this was a pleasant surprise, I had not heard about this intill today even though it has been on the cards for over a year now. I'm not sure about you guys but I know I am looking forward to see if it is good.



Can they really make the frequently dysfunctional group of individuals know as the surviving crew of Red Dwarf as funny as the first brilliant shows nearly 20 years ago? After 8 series -the last ending 10 years ago- will it be as funny? What with the now hardened actors and without the poor cgi and graphics? We shall have to wait for April 10th to see! I am really looking forward to finding out and and looking forward to Easter weekend when we catch up with the smegging gang : )

PS did you know Ronnie Barker auditioned for Red Dwarf?? I bloody well didn't! I'm glad Chris Barrie got the job instead, he is a brilliant actor and what holds the whole show together in my book, although its rather a close call with Danny John Joules who is just genius! I love that little shuffle dance the cat does "Woow!" He is just too cool for school : D
