At 7.30 a.m. this morning, playing in the background of the BBC Breakfast News report on Ms.Spears divorce: “Oops, I did it again”.

OK, I was listening to Radio 5 (over the internet) to catch the Champions League draw. I also had open the above page (may move as the BBC are prone to do).
Thing is, I happened to refresh the page after hearing the first two teams drawn and was surprised to see the first 5 games already listed? Wow, psychic news reading or delayed radio?

(OK, second attempt to post this, first one disappeared into the ether)
Most of my news, as regular readers will know, comes from the behemoth that is the BBC News website. The only reason I mention this is to confirm that I visit it a lot. OK, agreed?
So you’ll understand that the following item was gathered from there as I happened across it, I wasn’t looking for information of this sort at all… and to be honest I kinda wished I hadn’t read it now..
WARNING! If you have just eaten I would let your stomach settle before reading on…
Invasion of the Bodysnatchers: “His patience was rewarded when a brown worm-like creature emerged from his right nostril and looked around.
‘I swear it had two beady eyes on it. And it came out two or three inches, looked around and then retracted. I thought it was a dream, a vision of some sort.’ “

When sport marches into history: What is it about sport that drives us to such emotional extremes?
An interesting little piece from BBC News which includes the George Orwell quote describing sport as “war minus the shooting”.
Some would argue, after last night’s display, that that was exactly what some of the Scottish players need!

Yet again I missed the bloggable news by not catching the Baghad Blogger on Newsnight. Thankfully, the BBC allow you to watch the program again.
I’ve followed his blog and writings since he rose to ‘fame’ and it was interesting putting a face and voice to the man and his family.

I’m a fan of the BBC News website. Only trouble is they keep finding such prime blog material that it’s hard to keep up. Here’s a few for the meantime:
Male sex hormone easily triggered – another one of those things “found by scientists” that everyone knew.
Firework ‘louts’ face ban – why not ban them altogether and only allow professional displays. Ohh and why will this only become law “before Christmas”… a month too late!
Reclaim your brain – reminds me of something I wrote 3 years ago.
Of course the main news yesterday was the death of a schoolboy, Luke Walmsley, stabbed by another pupil. Tragic indeed, and I can only echo Peter’s sentiments not to turn this into a media circus, and the killer into a star. Sometimes this society of ours makes me sick.

On a lighter note, if you want to have, in my opinion, an excellent description of what went on in the first two Matrix movies, I suggest you check out the previous posts comments. Ohh and congrats to Hans for the longest comment posts ever. Now, why don’t you have a blog? 😉
