Trav Le Bleu

It's good enough for t-shirts and shorts now, unless you're a pussy.

Had to scrape ice off the car windscreen this morning.

It is, cos there's no way he's going outside if it's cold.

"My name is RoboFox and I am a Football Manager addict." Got clean of MMORPGs about 9 years ago.(City of Heroes/Villains, Guild Wars, Star Wars: the Old Republic.) Total time sink, never going back. How did I ever think that power-levelling and grinding was entertainment?

Not bad. If anything Babatunde was the weak link.

Yeah, I'm more inclined to think she did than she didn't, but... and here's the rub... I'm less inclined now. I tend to poo poo conspiracy theories because they're not reasonable. In this case though, to my mind this is plausible, if unlikely. It's the old Sherlock Holmes motto, "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." There's a lot of improbability that hasn't been eliminated in this one.

She didn't have a defence counsel. As I said earlier, rather like the Post Office trials, there was a lot of, "got you bang to rights, there's no point wasting time and money" talk. One thing that I found very strange was the expert for the prosecution volunteered himself. Usually the counsel would select someone of their own choosing, but this guy was there ready and waiting. The statistics used were also skewed. They showed that certain babies died when she was on duty, but no statistics were provided of when other nurses were on duty, to provide a comparison (sadly, babies died in hospital all the time without the help from murderers). I don't get people saying she was found guilty, she must be guilty, when they have little knowledge about a case (I'm talking in general here) when new light is cast on it. Time and again we've seen miscarriages of justice and it's the principal reason we don't have the death penalty in this country.

To be fair, it has featured a lot in the news recently and it does look likely to be reopened.

Paula Vennells is a top lady.

Increasingly the US presidential debates remind me of the History Today debates.

This is just like that nasty conspiracy theory that the Post Office knowingly prosecuted hundreds of post masters rather than admit to some ridiculously implausible "software fault". This has been decided in law and so absolutely must be true! N.B. I'm not saying she didn't do it, but from what I've heard and seen in the news, there are staggeringly glaring holes in the prosecution and also a parallel with the Post Office case in as much as the accused being told, "you've got no chance, so you might as well not bother trying to defend yourself." If it turns out the "I am evil" note is as suggested, part of therapy, then I think it gets very interesting. At the very least, the evidence should be reexamined.

No there isn't. In some relationships there's two people who try to get the other one to do the drying up.

You see, to the occasional cereal spotter that might well look like a herd of Weetabix, but it is in fact a herd of shreddies.

He wanted to know how to. I was joking. And I'd let Mr Huth take a free kick any time he likes.

Are you inferring that scammers are always young people or black, or worse, young black people? Shame on you!

I can do better than that... Proper weird anthem.

Birmingham

No, that's the capital of Burkina Faso.

The song where the person to the left faces right and the person to the right turns to the left and they have to make a punching movement, as hard as possible, about head height.

Might I add that It's looking a bit dark over Bill's mother's.

Where did that come from, Cotton-eye Joe?

Christmas has a lot to answer for.

That starts BDI.

It's a kind of poor man's Waterboys, but weirdly more successful than anything they ever did.
