Watching a great thing on Living TV, documenting the LA riots. If anyone wants to tell me that the USA is the greatest country in the world, I'll point them towards this complete failure of human decency on all parts, and ask them if they still think so.

Went for the modern option and bought a Sharp Aquos 26" LCD job. Inca-bloc, Choco-bloc-all -to -cock model. Nice set, brilliant picture. Unfortunately it's Chelsea-biased as MOTD just showed all their wonderful football and not much of ours. Can I complain to the manufacturers?

No, and you can't complain to the broadcaster either. However, if you can get the Daily Mail and 48,000 others on side, you'll be laughing. And you can get the same people to flog any old dead horse that might be related for the week or two after as well.

EDIT: Actually, you only need the Daily Mail on side. The 48,000 should follow without bothering about the frivolities of watching the offending article.

Shouldn't be hard, just tell them you bought it off a foreigner. And that he said he'd f*cked your grandaughter. Job should be a gud'un.

On something called Nuts TV that I found flicking through the channels. "Football Howlers" a classic collection of real catastrophic blunders. Hilarious.

Not as bad as the programme that caught my eye last night. Sky 2 - "Britain's Roughest Pubs 3". Yes,they'd made two before it. Expecting to see the Griffin on there, they actually showed a pub that's about a mile down the road from me. If ever you need to see what's wrong with Brtain, find this programme.

Did it have Danny Dyer involved somewhere per chance? Or was it even more low brow than that?

Watched the last episode of The Devil's Whore.

conclusion more than a bit rushed.

but an excellent series. Writing, acting, shooting, all up there.

Before that, on DVD, 'The Last Letter' - La Deniere Lettre - in French, sub-titled... A Jewish mother, in Russia, in the Second World War, in a town captured by the Nazis, imprisoned in the ghetto, writes her last letter to her son, 'safe' behind the lines, as the trenches are being dug for the mass grave that will hold them all. A 65 min, black and white monologue, brilliantly shot.

I wept for about ten minutes at the stunning, stunning ending... to the amazement of partner and daughter, weho hadn't watched with me...

This was brilliant... sometimes words, and great acting, and a single camera, a little lighting, can be more powerful than anything costing a hundred million bucks...

Saw a movie at the cornerhouse, in mancland, tonight. One of my fave cinemas in the region.

This one - 'Lemon Tree' - is a joint Israeli/Palestinian movie (to be celebrated in itself, i feel), with funding from half a dozen european bodies. In arabic and hebrew, with english subtitles...

premise - Israeli minister of defence takes a house overlooking a lemon grove owned by Palestinian widow, which has been in her family from time immemorial. It is her sole source of income. israeli security decide it has to be uprooted. Widow fights back all the way to the israeli supreme court.

I loved it (with a few minor niggles). and recommend. you may have a few days to catch. And i urge you to it. couldn't be easier from bolton. oxford rd station and twenty yards away...

There are murdering bastards aplenty. However they tend to be up front about it. For example Wee Bey will cough to anything for a bag of chips.

Bell has a sneaky way with his homicides which marks him out as not being a terribly nice chap.

On a seperate note, I didn't realise that Dominic West aka McNulty is English and rather posh. He was a couple of years behind David Cameron at Eton, apparently.
