Fox on the run.

Amazingly, Fox News have traced every single instance of the Clinton interview on YouTube, and demanded that they are removed citing copyright infringement. Technically correct, but what income were they being denied by it's viewing on the internet? Why have they not had every other interview or clip removed? Because this was the one that showed them for the weaselly liars that they are.

Fox News getting the slapping they so richly deserve.

This is a clip from Fox News of Bill Clinton giving an interviewer a real going-over about whether or not he was to blame for all the ils of the world as they constantly infer. It's also worth remembering the statistics that show that although 50% of the American still think that Al Quaida was involved in the 9-11 attack, that rises to over 90% amongst people whose primary source of news was Fox. It is a channel created for brainwashing and rightwing propaganda.

Pointing out the wrong side of the tracks.

I've just spent a hideous day trying not to yell at Freddie every time he starts a sentence "Ohhh, why can't I have chocolate/icecream/a new car/everything I want? God, it drives me mad, anyway thankfully there is a light on the horizon, Flickr maps. I've just spent a happy half an hour trying to find exactly where to put my photos in Hong Kong, Bali, Lisbon and Madrid. You can see them here.

Freddie goes to school.

It was Freddies first day at school on Wednesday, and he was very pleased with himself in his new uniform. His teacher seems nice, and although they do use reading scheme books, they also have a fair selection of proper books to read too. He only goes in the mornings until half-term, but as Katherine is also going to pre-school on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, there are two and a half hours of utter peace and quiet in the house. Fantastic.
Katherine loves going to pre-school, right up until the point where she actually lets go of our hands and goes into the room, then she screams like a banshee while we turn tail and run. When we pick her up though, she is having a great time.
Only 16 more years of waking them up in time for school to go, and we can have a lie-in again.

A Moment of History

There was a glorious moment for the Pullman family last week, as both sons turned out to play for Bournmouth Symphony Orchestra Cricket Club. Less glorious was the fact that I got out first ball, Tom didn't bat or bowl, and my only over had 3 wides in it. Never mind, there's always next year I suppose.
