Conservatives want to get tough on extremists

Conservatives want to get tough on extremists, or so they say, the latest silly idea is to ban them, yes seriously!  They will also stop them from public speaking, yeah right!   Of course what they haven't done (as usual) is actually think it through.  First as long as we're in the EU they can't interfere with their human rights, and I'm pretty sure public speaking is one of them, secondly banning them isn't going to work either, Personally I very much doubt a person who is willing to blow them self up is going to worry too much about a banning order.  No wonder the rats are leaving the sinking ship........

Doctor Who is really bad now

I've tried, honestly I have to like Peter Capaldi, but it's not working, he's easily the worst doctor who ever!
To be fair to Peter the stories and scripts have been pretty grim, the first episode had the doctor as a confused moron, and even now 6 weeks in he's still playing it stupid.  I mean the cleverest man in the universe, who defeats all the alien enemies has a line like  " You have two jackets? why is one of them defective?" it's bloody dire.
The stories haven't been much better, the first episode had the doctor take a back seat role largely to Vastra and Drax. 
This weeks episode seemed to be an excuse for Danny Pink (bloody silly name for Gods sake) to meet the doctor, and is turning into a sort of confused soap with Clara and Danny and what appears to be an elderly confused uncle sort of doctor (dementia maybe?) 
I have nothing against his age really, but he's just not right for the part.  Far from being a man who saves the world each week he's more like a man who couldn't change a light bulb.
I believe the phrase is physician heal thyself!

Helvetia Rhossilli old and new

The pics of the Helvetia at Rhossilli got me thinking about my older pics of the ship, here one from about 25 years ago (Top) and the one from September 2014 (Bottom)  Theres a fair difference in the roughly 25 years.

Helvetia Rhossilli bay

The Helvetia is one of the best known shipwrecks in the Gower, I haven't been to it for years so decided to check it out again.
The Norwegian ship had a cargo of 500 tons of timber, and sank on October 31 1887, luckly there was no loss of life.

Don't blink 2014 (review)

The story starts off like most slasher movies, a group of young people arrive at a country retreat and find it abandoned, of course they are all out of petrol and are stranded there.   That's where the story starts to vary from the usual slasher type movies, instead of gory murders we have people just vanishing.  It's only at the very end that you sort of find out whats happening (can't give too much away) 
Personally I found the film tedious, there was a lot of talking and arguing, and very very few supprises, even the ending I'd seen coming from way back.
Still it's different from the normal gore on the floor horror films so you have to give it credit for that.

Waynes rating 5/10 if your a horror fan and fancy something different, but don't expect to be scared.

And some world news

An 88 year old woman who fell outside a doctors surgery and was knocked unconscious was refused help by Doctor Christopher Uwagbow, incredibly he claimed he wasn't first aid trained so couldn't help as he'd been sued before.
Personally I think a doctor who won't help an elderly lady should be struck off, and secondly if he's so bad at first aid why would anyone want him as a doctor? My advice avoid Knebworth and Marymead medical centre in Stevnage if you need first aid!

Facebook are planning on flying plane size drones over our heads as part of a plan to connect us all to facebook....  I wonder if Ebay sells anti aircraft guns....

Tescos pork sausages may contain pork.. Tesco admit their pork sausages contain other things including chicken, their venison burgers (yes venison burgers!) may contain as much as 30% lamb, this worry comes after the recent issue with Tescos bolognese mince that was 100% horse meat scandal, and the more recent 250 million profit error.
I have cut down on my Tesco shopping for two reasons, one the price and two the fact that my local Tescos is more like a community centre for the mentally handicapped, and if I'm going to pay top prices I want top quality goods, not what I'm getting in Tescos sadly.

A couple and their autistic 15 month old daughter were forced to leave a bus after a Muslim passenger complained about them singing the pippa pig theme song and making pig noises to their daughter, the passenger complained they were racist. 
Be warned before long a bacon buttie will be a hanging offence in this country...or more lightly a beheading offence......

We've had the bendy bus now the bendy phone has arrived. the new Iphone 6 has a minor issues it seems, if your not careful it can get bent.  Apparently due to the lightweight construction and it's thinness it's easier to bend in your pocket.
To be fair you might be surprised how much force you an put on something in a pocket, especially tight jeans or if you lean on something, and the bigger phone has a bigger area to apply pressure. Something to keep in mind though if you have a new Iphone....   And I don't so all donations to honest Wayne, home for the criminally deranged etc etc etc

Space atation 76 (review)

The 2014 movie is set in a 1970's version of the future  "  IMDb  A 1970s version of the future, where personalities and asteroids collide."
Staring Patrick Wilson and Liv Tyler the movie is an odd mix of sc-fi and comedy, it seems to be trying to be a spoof but sadly it's not clear what it's spoofing.
I understand the cast came up with a lot of the dialogue at the rehearsal stage by improvisation, and frankly it shows.  The film is a miss match and neither fish nor fowl as they say.
By about half way through I'd given up trying to make sense of it, and I was glad to see the credits.

Waynes rating  2/10  only watch if you want to relive the 1970 si-fi era, otherwise buy a drink instead !
