    New developments in the Middle East

    I notice after the UN's overwhelming vote to recognise Palestine's state status,Israel has now threatened to build another "3,000 housing units" in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. I hope the PLO will now use their state status to take this matter before the International Criminal Court(ICC)...

    Sainsbury's Store at RH

    Could this be the cause of the hold-up? http://planning.southend.gov.uk/PublicAccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_detailview.aspx?caseno=M3QY91PA06T00 Looks like Sainsbury are applying for a slightly bigger store, change of use for a couple of the commercial units and some extra parking...

    Well, I live in melbourne Australia and I'm sure it was only last year I had a beer with Willie. As far as I know he still helps his daughter run holiday units or a caravan park in Newcastle just up from Sydney. Should be just about due down here soon..... After leaving the shrimpers played a...
  10. A bit of perspective?

    First things first: Saturday's game was not the worst game of football I've ever seen. It wasn't enjoyable to watch as a Southend fan, but then who does enjoy watching their team lose? The answer: most Southend fans? Gives us something to moan about doesn't it? Realistically anyone who thought...

    Generation Kill

    Well, a bit late to the party but just finished watching all 7 hours and must say I thought that was a colossal piece of work. Brilliantly acted, stunningly filmed, really funny / sad / gripping / interesting. It probably won't get raved about as much as The Wire or various other HBO shows but...

    It's more than a year since Israel launched its immoral attack on Gaza and Palestinians are still living on the verge of a humanitarian disaster. So what has Tony Blair done to further peace in the region? Virtually nothing, argues the historian Avi Shlaim Comments (98) Buzz up! Digg it Avi...

    When does drinking alcohol become excessive?

    Is isn't just about me, but I thought I'd start a little dicussion about how much drink is too much? Persaonally I'm not sure. I will go out binge drinking as it is know (something like more than 4 units in one session?) at least once a weekend. I hardly go out in the week, maybe on a monday...

    Alcohol problems - is price the answer?

    Listening to Radio5 today, the debate was whether alcohol is a) too cheap and b) too easy to get. One suggestion was to make drink prices relate to the units of alcohol in them (a unit is measured by alcohol percentage multiplied by volume in litres e.g. half-litre of Stella would be...

    BBC (& Sky) Gaza DEC Appeal Veto

    My view is that there is a very real humanitarian crisis going on in Gaza and that urgent medicine, food and shelter is great need. I've been reading CAFOD's blog from Palestine which has been a real eye opener and very personal account of exactly what has been going on. I know there must be...

    This week, Tom (A Century United) from all the way up the top of Scotland answers the questions. Below is a picture of him amongst the starting 11 for the League 2 Playoff Final. The woman in white sitting on the number 1 forgot her boots that day, thus why Duncan Jupp got the nod. 1) How...
