Battle for LA is a sc-fi film where an alien invasion of earth takes place. The action takes place is LA where a squad of soldiers have to go up against an unknown enemy to rescue some civilians trapped by the aliens.
Some things we learned from watching this.
US marines have to shout at each other all the time.
Most of LA seems to be shrouded in think smoke (actually a possibility).
Aliens never win when they attack the Americans, ( maybe they need to shout at each other?).
A small squad of soldiers carries an unlimited amount of ammo.
Waynes rating, the shouting got on my nerves, as did the "gung-ho" soldiers, to be honest by the end I wanted the aliens to win.

Jamie's dream school.
I watched this yesterday, nearly pissed myself laughing, the saddest part is Jamie Oliver takes it seriously.
To be honest I don't know why he doesn't stick to what he does well... cooking!
Ok I know it has to be drowned in olive oil, but a lot of the stuff he cooks actually looks and no doubt tastes good. Trouble is he's trying to get a sainthood or knighthood or whatever, unfortunately all he's really doing is driving children away from cooking.
Schools are now struggling to pay the dinner ladies due to the lack of children eating school dinners after his stupid dinner campaign, in my sons school none of one class now eat dinners in school. Trouble is the children who used to get free school dinners now go hungry rather than eat whats served up, not helped by the fact the school buys the cheapest rubbish they can get.
Now his latest (and daftest) idea is a super school to help troubled pupils, so what have we learned by watching it?? Well we learned that without discipline unruly pupils do as they please, that some of the famous people they have as teachers end up loosing it and shouting at the pupils, we learned that half the pupils they choose don't deserve to be educated and obviously couldn't care less.
But the biggest thing we learned is it's a total waste of time, you see as good as the original idea was (and I'm sure he means well) it's never going to work in the real world, where are all the schools going to get famous people to teach their troubled pupils, there isn't an endless supply, especially after all the others see how much hassle it is. And more importantly where do the schools get the money to pay these super stars with, it's ok for Jamie to call in a few favors but thats not going to work for long, these people will want to get paid in the real world.
Jamie, please, pretty please give up all the school nonsence and get back to cooking, some people are beginning to wonder why you like hanging around schools so much... lets face it it's not for the dinners.. not now anyway.

Libya no fly zone.
I see on the news today the the USA and UK governments are calling on the UN to impose a no fly zone on Libya.
Col Gaddafi's forces have been bombing rebel held areas and the US/UK want it stopped... Which is a bit odd considering.
A. The UN states that countries shouldn't interfere in the internal workings of another country.
B. How fond the US and UK are of bombing rebels in other peoples countries, like Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Vietnam, Yemen, Somaila, Pakistan, Yugoslavia, Sudan, etc etc.
Talk about double standard.

Whats wrong with people in Port talbot???
I was in Port Talbot today, whats wrong with some of the people there?, they drive like morons, they walk like I'm invisible and would walk into me if I did avoid them, half the idiots are walking around backwards for heavens sake. The words interbreading come to mind.
Margam and sunsets
Here are a couple of recent pics, all taken in the margam area, the one with 5 of me (yes your worst nightmare I know) was done using 4 seperate images and layer masks, the extra 5 version of me was done with the clone tool.
Police pay
It seems Mr Plod is going to suffer a pay cut, the BBC were saying that if they work a bank holiday they get double time and a day in lieu, unlike the rest of us who get a day in lieu usually.
The police get pretty good pay and conditions, ok they do have a tough job to do sometimes but a lot of what they do is easy really (hence being able to let PCSO's do it) After all manning a speed camera or nicking motorists isn't particulary difficult or dangerious, certainly not anything like as dodgy as being on foot patrol in Helmand province, yet they get more pay than a normal squaddie whos putting his life on the line every day on active service.

Prince Andrew
HRH Prince Andrew has made the news today for all the wrong reasons, it seems he managed to pay £3 million over the asking price for a house
Makes you wonder if somebody this bright is a good person to send around the world as a trade envoy, after all trade is all about business, and business need to make money, if the bloke representing them is dull enough to pay £3m too much for his own house God help the firms he's there to help.
