5 Things I want

1. British government to privatise Royal Mail
2. Deregulate all postal service in UK
3. British press to stop boring me with all this "MPs Expenses" stories. It's not news, stop reporting it!
4. Journalists to get some ethics
5. New Zealand's All Whites to drop their silly name and start wearing a full-black playing strip

Chelsea v Barcelona

Chelsea, gracious in defeat.

Environmental Attitudes in the UK

Why are English planning and environmental authorities so obsessed with protecting grassland? Even from forestation. What is it with these people. Don’t they realise that forest beats grassland almost any day? Grassland is dull. Grassland gets over run by humans and their dogs. Grassland is only the next best thing for water quality and flood protection after concrete.
Give me forests I tell you, forests Gandalf!

N1H1, H1N1 - Media beatup wimpers to its death

So, it seems that the Pig-flu thing is pretty much done and dusted. Turns out it was no worse than the usual seasonal flu. So, what's the next 'catastrophe' for the media to jump on? Aliens?

Dear me at 16

OK, now I'm done with posting silly comments and garbled nonsense all ovber the web about this pig flu junket, it's time to move on to a new subject.

The Guardian's recent article on Stephen Fry's letter to his 16 year old self has quickly made the rounds in emails and link posts. Some of the best reaction has been from commenters on the guardian who have written their own letters to their 16 year old self. I thought I'd post some of the best ones, followed by a ltter of my own tot he 16 year old me (the me of 1996).

So to start, here's some of the goodies:

Dear Me at 16

2)Grow Your hair -it will make you look older
3) Dont drink from the wine bottle that is handed to you at the beach party - its piss
