This morning on the way to drop the kids at school Elgar’s Enigma Variations came on, specifically the ‘variation’ played on the radio was ‘Nimrod’ . The conductor this time was Colin Davies and a commendable job was done by all concerned. What struck me though was that part of the way through I realised … More Variations on Enigma.
The subject line sounds like the start of a kids essay, but I’m running out of ‘original’ titles. Maybe someone ought to write some ‘Random subject creator’ software? Anyway, what did we do? Nothing much really… just another one of those sit around bored stiff type periods. It all started much as usual. I was … More My weekend.
Wouldn’t it be nice to be recognised as the next singing sensation? I could be you know… I’m half way there already. When people hear me sing I create a sensation… well they scream a lot anyway. And women have always fallen at my feet… ok they faint at the sight of me but that’s … More The singing sensation!
Reports are emerging about a film to made chronicling the Japanese atrocities at Nanking. The film Purple Mountain will present the ‘incident’ as seen through the eyes of a mother and daughter. This I’m sorry to say is one war crime that should *not* be made into a ‘popular’ film. The atrocities carried out on … More Rape of Nanking to be a film

There is … More Pottermania revisited
If that makes no sense to you you’ve probably not seen the new Simpson’s movie. For anyone who loves the Simpson’s cartoons… this is a must. For anyone else? It’s still a load of fun but you might miss a few of the ‘in-jokes’ 🙂 If you *do* decide to go see it, I’d suggest … More Spider pig, spider pig…
Wrote most of this on the 19th July… then edited it in light of the new book. This was my entry to the competition… 100% wrong… so no prize for the Dog!! ======================= Molly Weasley is the one going to die. The wedding between Bill and Fleur takes place at the Burrow. During the proceedings … More Potter – my entry to The Times Online Comp.
Sorry… I’m nowhere near finished talking about Harry Potter yet. For a start there’re all the spoilers to go through that I couldn’t read before the book was released in case they were right! For example this site had a long list of spoilers on it that attracted a lot of publicity… but nearly all … More More Potter
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Anyone who hasn’t followed the series must be heartily sick of it by now. The other hundred million or so of us who *have* followed the story will have just read the final chapter… for now. Even so, loads of people haven’t read it yet, I’m not giving spoilers … More Well… I'm back!
