OK, guilty as charged. I’m a big fan of US show ‘24′. Silly, over-the-top, but very addictive. It has just been reported that star of the show, Kiefer Sutherland, has been arrested on a drink-drive charge after failing a breath test…
As a ‘24′ fan, I was trying to think how he might start making a statement to the Police…

Given all this high profile and high volume traffic through the door, a small suggestion to No. 10 for future occasions…
Both ‘news’ stories can be found HERE for the Old Cat, and HERE for the Old Bat. Both stories via the Telegraph website.

With unstable markets in the US during recent weeks, the pinch is now starting to be felt over here. Although constant reassurances that customer’s money is ’safe’, it appears not everyone believes what they are told and are deciding with their feet, after Northern Rock takes out an emergency loan from the Bank of England…

As a bit of a movie buff, it’s always nice when little titbits of information on upcoming films get out into the general domain, and it appears that the new title for the next Indiana Jones film – ‘Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’ – was confirmed last night by cast members.
A brief mock up of a possible scene to expect given here…

Thanks to keeping up with all the latest goings on over at Beau Bo D’Or’s site and in particular, this post, it seems that the campaign for Boris to become mayor of London starts today. Having a look at his campaign banners, posters and downloadable campaign material, I couldn’t resist a cheap gag as follows…
