MH 17

It's good to see most of the world condemning the shooting down of Malaysian airliner MH17, even better to see Obama doing it..... after making a brief somber 60 speech then followed it with 16 mins of joking some might not take it so seriously.  
Personally I think it's the pot calling the kettle if you know what I mean.  Lets not forget the US shot down an Iran air flight (655) on the 3rd of July 1988 with the lose of 290 lives, 66 of the children.  That plane was shot down by a sophisticated naval ship with the latest technology (in Iranian territorial waters) the US Vincennes, while the planes transponder clearly identified it as a civilian aircraft. The Vincennes crew mistook the airbus A300 for an F14 fighter.
At the moment it's unclear who is responsible for the shooting down of MH17, both sides are claiming it's the other, but it's worth remembering that it was shot down over what is effectively a war zone, where many other airlines had already stopped their aircraft from flying, although Malaysian were not the only company using that route. 

Doctor Who new series starts August (warning spoiler alert)

The new series of Doctor Who kicks off in August in about a months time. 
The first episode Deep Breath see the new Doctor Peter Capaldi dazed and confused recovering from regeneration. The episode also reunites some old friends, Clara the companion played By Jenna Louise Coleman, Vastra played by Neve Mcintosh, Strax played by Dan Starky, and Jenny played by Catrin Stewart. 
The episode also features some old enemies, the clockwork androids from a previous (David Tennant series) the girl in the fireplace, and a somewhat out of place T-Rex (well not an enemy really) set in Victorian London the series kicks off to an exciting start.
Whether Capaldi will work as the doctor remains to be seen, for me he's spoiled by having been in the series before as a different character, Caecillus in the fires of Pompeii, but I'll give it some time before making up my mind finally.

The Hundred (the 100) review

I watched the first episode of this so heres a brief review.
'The 100 (pronounced "The Hundred" as opposed to "The One Hundred") is an American post-apocalyptic drama television series that is airing on The CW during the 2013-14 American television season' wikipedia)
A hundred impossibly good looking young people, all criminals are sent back to a post-apocalyptic earth from an aging space station.  To add to the situation theres a power play on the space station (which doesn't have much air left) and various complications with the group who have landed, one being a suspected murderer... so another criminal then?  Anyway the locations so far have been forrest and lake.
In the first episode 2 die in the landing and another later (all the not so good looking ones...) and it seems they are not alone on earth.
It's an ok watch but my big worry is will there be a proper story with a beginning, middle and end. Sadly many US shows now just have the beginning, then they make it up as they go till the ratings drop from their endless boring programs, and then it just stops mid run (because they never had a proper ending in the first place)

Waynes rating 5/10 if theres a planned ending

First Cymru (first group) or best known as Farce Cymru

Yes the joking excuse for a bus company that we have here is getting silly.  Yesterday I got a letter of apology for a complaint of a bus failing to arrive a few days back (not my first complaint) then shortly after the same bus failed to arrive again .  I mean come on! was it in the lost property office?
This is supposed to be a bus service... note the word service there, yet about 50% of the time the buses are either not arriving or if they do arrive it's rarely on time, either way early or late.

First say 'First is the world's leading transport operator, moving more than 2.5 billion passengers every year. Our focus is customer service - transporting customers safely and efficently'

Of course they would have moved 5 billion if their bloody buses turned up properly, and as for safely and efficiently....... Don't get me started.


Edit.
First say they are 'the world's leading transport operator, moving more than 2.5 billion passengers every year'  Now frankly I find it hard to believe that out missing and half empty buses move more people than the Tokyo subway.  First must be moving getting on for 7 million people a day, that just doesn't sound right to me.  Thats twice the population of Wales every day or 18.000 people a day on each of it's 387 buses.  
So somebody really needs to phone the Guinness world records people!

So much for British people being obese!

According to the BBC (BBC = we say what the government tell us to say) British people are getting fatter and we're all more or less obese. 
Strangely though all the men must be half naked.  You see I tried to by a pair of trousers today, despite trying every shop in the area, including the charity shops the largest size waist I could find anywhere was a 38 inch, not exactly fat bastard size is it.  I mean come on, we're all the same size as the Hindenburg according to the beeb, yet 38 waist isn't that big, not for an aging population of 'fatties'. 
So somewhere somthing odd is going on, either the beeb is lying or three quarters of men over 35 are walking around without trousers.... yet couriously even in 'not right' town all the men are covered up..... So that means the beeb..........      Well hardly news is it.  (pun intended)

Whats super about bloody super glue?

Seriously! the stuff is almost useless. Over the years I've used it dozens of times, the only thing it's really stuck in that time is my fingers. Oh I did once manage to glue a flashgun to my office desk, sadly the bit I was gluing on the flashgun never stuck, although it was quite happy to stick the same plastic to the desk.
Now I know the stuff is great for gluing skin, indeed that was it's main use early on, it's 'super' for closing wounds, but now it's marketed as a fix all glue, and it's really not good at other stuff.
I wouldn't have tried to repair my glasses with it but I'd run out of evostick (miles better) anyway the arm isn't back on my glasses, but I'm very still attached to them....... in a gluey sort of way.
