Earlier in the year I mentioned Fox News correspondent John Gibson and his My Word segments that presented an astonishing view of the whole Andrew Gilligan and David Kelly affair. Well he’s on about it again. Earlier this week Ofcom reported their findings on his reports and they say that he had breached broadcast guidelines.… Continue reading John Gibson is an Idiot

Ulysses
To celebrate the 100th annivesary of Bloomsday, the BBC publishes an abridged version of Ulysses. I bought all of James Joyce’s books after my first trip to Dublin in 1992. I’ve still only read Dubliners tho’.

There’s a foramt that looks like a CD and will probably play in most CD players, but it had a sticker on it saying that… Continue reading Faithless
