Life without Sky

It looks like the week is off to an interesting start already. I've been online all day today to check on my accounts; the status of which has been really alarming 'cos the hackers have been busy. Ah, they did leave me one e-mail: some islamic woman wants money. Not from me you don't; I aint got any. Well I should have loads by now but that's another story. Haven't had time to follow my normal schedule because apparently a leak has sprung-up in the living-room ceiling in my house. I normally programme my mother's Sky set-top box TV planner to view the programmes I like, which would normally be deleted each time I set a programme! So coincidentally, a leak appeared in the ceiling and my mother has dismantled the system. The place looks like we just moved in. Someone saying he was from British Gas was here this morning, apparently to check on the boiler, again!. It's perhaps the fifth time that the boiler has been inspected in the last 9 months. I wish I could get a-look-in! A hug won't go amiss. Then one of my mother's friends came over in the late evening and was helping her with moving stuff around. The living-room looks a state. The house is beginning to resemble as if we just moved in.

I'm gonna miss Journal, Projekt Zufunft, Fox and Friends, NHKWorld, Fit und Gesund, etc., Let's just hope it's not permanent!

Geezers for Jeezers

In the early 1980s, Peter Cushing was all over the TV screen. He was either: Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Who, or tormenting Count Dracula with a crucifix or holy water. These days, it's Hollywood not Hammer House of Horror, and crucifixes and holy water have been replaced by weapons that are more up to date, like UV light and re-tractor blades! This crackdown on wearing religious symbols is a bit daft! When people like Nadia Eweida ( http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6052608.stm ) have to resort to taking legal action against an employer, it makes you question what is doing on. Maybe it's time that the humble crucifix had a comeback! We're used to seeing sportsmen kissing the crucifix after a victory, or just before an event for good luck, but it's a symbol that means a lot to the religious and irreligious alike. In a world where labels mean everything and people identify you based on what you wear or don't wear; being seen in the right threads can save you...

Courage

This week, I read an article in the Telegraph about courage. I can remember Comodus (Joaquin Phoenix's character) in the film Gladiator saying that there are different forms of courage; apparently it true. There physical courage: the type you need to get out of bed in the mornings; risk-taking courage: the type you need to ask that girl out who is way out of your league; Interperonal courage: the type you need to tell all your friends/girlfriends, that they're dumped; and there's Moral courage: that one that remind you that telling lies, is not good for you.
