The rise of antisemitism has led to me feeling very uncomfortable indeed. With hatred and fingers being turned to Israel the arguments that turn antisemitism into anti-Israel rage could/should/would be silenced now.
Here is the ending.
Let's see how much hatred spews at Israel now that their democratically elected ministers have office.
We recently moved house, a nightmare with its own 7 levels of hell, which is then plagued even further by the standard phrase 'do we really need this? Why do we still have this?'
We found wedding presents still in their original wrapping. We were married in 2006....
We found puzzles we'd slaved over, glued together and then left untouched for over a decade.
If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is a children's book by Laura Numeroff. Quite simply, if you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk. When you give him the milk, he'll probably ask you for a straw, and so on and so forth.
It's a slippery slope and one that we all go down now and then. The main trick to break this downward spiral is to stop, think and wonder 'why is this process the one we use?'
Think about it, is the way we do things the best way, the easiest way or just the way we've always done it?
The 2001 Victim Compensation Find is running out of money again. 18 years later Congress has still not found a long term solution to help 9/11 first responders suffering from health issues resulting from the toxic conditions at ground zero.
It took first responders all of 5 seconds to officially start helping. Why is it taking almost 20 years to help these heroes with the same no-nonsense attitude?
When an international TV star, and a guy who has presented many times to the US Congress nearly breaks down, twice, then you know that this is serious. Watch the whole thing. It's not that long and he's really good.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times". Not an exact quote, but it's the essence of the TV show Killjoys.
It's the distant future, bounty hunters are out there and, like the Strontium Dog in 2000AD or Bruce Willis' character in The Fifth Element, crazy adventures ensue.
Spotify has not only made music much more accessible, it has made it infinitely easier to find new music that you are going to like.
In the past I've raved about OKGO and Pomplamoose, and now there is a new queen of my musical heart - Elle King.
I think it's the mix of bluegrass banjo(?) int he background that really gets the toes a-tapping!
And yes, I'm not the first to like this video that was posted in August 2016. Nor am I one of the first 7,000,000 to watch it, but you know what? It's good music and I like it.
The subject matter is such a classic and yet also controversial figure that this film will really need to walk on a tightrope to get the audience behind it.
Whats not to love? Freddie Mercury's life story. A great man, a great singer and a great band. But that is just it, he means so much to so many people that just portraying him will cause many die-hard fans to have a conniption!
The Tour de France is an iconic bike race. Usually won by Lance Armstrong, the race winds up and down France on main roads and side roads, over bridges, under bridges to their destination.
Officially the total race, running from Saturday July 7th to Sunday July 29th 2018, the 105th Tour de France will be made up of 21 stages and will cover a total distance of 3,351 kilometres.
That's one heck of a sporting achievement - to be the first one through the finish line, at the end of all that!
Lance Armstrong is renowned as being a drug cheating scumbucket for this event, so I was surprised to see that he was in a mockumentary about the race.
Tour de Pharmacy, as the name suggests, is about a group of competitors in the Tour de France in the 1980's and their challenges through the different pitfalls of being a rider.
I was surprised i hadn't heard of it because it has some HUGE names appearing in it;
Andy Samberg Orlando Bloom John Cena Danny Glover Mike Tyson Jeff Goldblum Lance Armstrong Dolph Lundgren Kevin Bacon J.J. Abrams Edgar Wright
