I have to say i have no intrest in BB or the people that are in it, But any form of Racism is sick and Channel 4 by showing this is also sick, Good on the Car phone warehouse distancing themselves from the show, Now the TV watchdogs should remove the show from the Air and take action against Channel 4.
The other thing that concerns me is the racism allegations have caused hype that has increased the shows viewing figures, Previous to this it seems the show was losing viewers, I wonder if clever editing is involved to make more of the controversy.
I think its time BB went and people like Jade Goody go back to being the nobodys they are.

why they pay so much for such an ugly person?

he was a good player century ago when i was a child .

Simple answer is they paid so much for him because his name is hugely marketable, They will be able to sell shirts, Calenders, Toys you name it with his name on,And his name is known globally so thats plenty of people to sell to, The first time he plays will probably be to a sellout crowd with all the hype that comes with him.
The press will follow him or his Wife everywhere so they will get publicity that way too, Its all a marketing exersise really, Lets be honest Football(Soccer) is not too popular in America and Beckham could be the thing to increase its popularity.
Yes its silly money but i probably will bring back silly money and lets be honest if you are nearing the end of your career like Beckham is and somebody comes up with a deal like this you ain’t going to turn it down.

I did wonder if Ollie was just trying to make a lighthearted joke about the Camera not realising it that it possibly holds photo’s taken by Steve or Al, I am not sure that Ollie would have known Steve or Al or of their sad passing or connected it with this camera, So maybe its wrong to judge him.
What troubles me more is if Ollie does not have the Camera who does? I pray it turns up and can be produced as soon as possible.

Not that strange, I guess he has realised how difficult it is to find a public toilet these days, So he thought if he stole one he would never need spend so much desperate time searching:D .

Someone passed this to me the other day, saying it was a good one for my new ipod, I don’t think so, totally incomprehensible lyrics:-

Manfred Mann – Blinded By the Light Lyrics

Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Madman drummers bummers,
Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin’ kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin’, sneezin’ and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was…
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said “I’ll turn you on sonny to something strong,
play the song with the funky break”
And go-cart Mozart was checkin’ out the weather chart to see if it was safe outside
And little Early-Pearly came by in his curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
Asked me if I needed a ride
But she was…
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
She got down but she never got tired
She’s gonna make it through the night
She’s gonna make it through the night
But mama, that’s where the fun is
But mama, that’s where the fun is
Mama always told me not to look into the eye’s of the sun
But mama, that’s where the fun is
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
Says, “Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in it’s funny bone,
that’s where they expect it least”
And some new-mown chaperone was standin’ in the corner,
watching the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin’ with his frozen zone, reminding him of romance
The calliope crashed to the ground
But she was…
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light,
revved up like a deuce,
another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Madman drummers bummers, Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin’ kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin’, sneezin’ and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground
Now Scott with a slingshot finially found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand
And some bloodshot forget-me-not said daddy’s within earshot save the buckshot, turn up the band
Some silicone sister with a manager mister told me I go what it takes
She said “I’ll turn you on sonny to something strong”

Oh and I disagree about post Water’s lyrics for Pink Floyd.

Blinded by the Light was written by Bruce Springsteen and was on his first album “Greetings from Asbury park” it makes no sense at all but the Manfreds version sounds better in my view.

Apart from Thomson who have released a press statement on their website, This information is correct from looking at the website.

The other airlines may or may not follow.
However its clear to see from 2 incidents and one near incident that something needs to be done. Especially when pilots have to hold for runway checks, or have expressed concerns to their respective company’s about safety. This should not be compromised.
I’m no expert, but to me, a larger Jet a/c skidding down the runway could be alot worse than a slower, smaller ATR!

I think its sensible that so many companies have decided to divert their flights from Bristol until the problems with Runway has been solved.
Safety must come first no matter what, Besides a accident however minor would bring huge bad press to a Airline, Something not worth risking.
