Does Anyone Have Perfect Friends? by Bruce Sallan
Posted on 3:50pm Tuesday 31st August 2010
Friends. We chose them, unlike our relatives. But, do we have unrealistic expectations of our friends? And, how about our teens and their relations with friends!? Not an easy topic.

Posted on 3:10pm Tuesday 31st August 2010
A drunken Wendy Lewis urinates on a Blackpool war memorial. This blatant act of disrespect earns her a suspended jail sentence and a Guard of Dishonour from a group of old soldiers. A bronze plaque commemorating the names of the fallen, is stolen from a second memorial and so it goes on..........

Toy Story 3
Posted on 9:14pm Thursday 19th August 2010
Pixar are arguably the best film makers of this generation. They are pioneers for the future of cinema whilst they embodying the story telling techniques of classical film. This is a film where all the wiz bang technology on display, the flawless CGI and now standard digital 3D, goes relatively unnoticed due to the masterful narrative and characterisation on display. It is this year’s first masterpiece, the best of the Toy Story trilogy, and the best computer animated film ever made.

The Expendables
Posted on 2:11am Thursday 19th August 2010
As most of the Expendables cast made films in a time before email and blogs, I thought I’d start with an old fashioned letter: Dear Mr Stallone, may I extend some serious respect your way for managing to work miracles and make a good, convincing Rocky movie a few years ago. Against all odds, you showed cinema goers there was life in the old ‘underdog’ yet. When you were in that ring, I was in there with you. As you may be aware, there has been a 80s revival in this new millennium, and I am pleased to say you are the only person to bring an old Action icon back with dignity. Indiana Jones showed signs of old age as in his last film as he was clearly convinced he could still cut it. John McClain needs to go into retirement, despite fighting a jet and winning, his latest film died hard.

STUDENT CRISIS By Hugh O’Neill This is crisis week in many young people’s lives. This week they will know whether they have a university place or not. Expressed very simply (and very carefully) the problem appears to be that the nation can not afford to provide the university places that young people believe that they need.

It Really IS ALL About Food
Posted on 4:58pm Monday 16th August 2010
I never intended to write a series of obesity-related-blogs – but blogging about the Safari Park or even Christopher Hitchens, seems rather mundane in comparison. And now we’ve started ...

It Really IS ALL About Giving
Posted on 4:28pm Tuesday 10th August 2010
The old adage that giving gives the giver more is so true. This is a great story about some girls in Ghana and how my family got to know them and help them, in a small way. So can you!
