Good Evenings

I'd like to tell you that Christmas has ended but clearly I've got another two to three days until my blood/alcohol mix has become more of an alcohol/blood mix. So while we're waiting for that to happen let's have a look at the days news.

  • Dutch Terror Plot. In the Netherlands the authorities have raided a number of internet cafe's and arrested a number of Somali men on Al Qeda related terror charges. The other day I went into a Somali owned internet cafe and did something with computers. As soon as the Dutch worked out exactly what I did it would be nice if they could tell me.
  • Pakistani Terror Blasts. Around 40 people have been killed in a suicide attack in Pakistan. I don't mean to be racist but wouldn't it be easier if the Pakistanis told us when they'd had a day without a terror bomb attack.
  • Indian Satellite Fail. An Indian rocket which was trying to launch a communications satellite into orbit exploded shortly after take off. No-one was killed.
  • Wombling Gone. The creator of British children's TV show"The Wombles", Elisa Beresford, died today in her Channel Island's home. She was 84 a fulfills a great British tradition of celebrities dying on Christmas day.
  • Dr Who Christmas Special. Somewhere between the references to the huge number of complaints the BBC received about Amy Pond's skirt and firefly this was mainly a campaign by the BBC's orchestras to maintain their funding. In short it was a bit rubbish.
  • Bristol Death. Police in Bristol, UK have discovered the body of a young woman. We will all now desperately await news of whether it is the body of Joanna Yeates who went missing in the Bristol area about a week ago.
