Prince Charles talks to plants (none / 1)

Zep's Bobby gonged by PoW (as Variety might have captioned it)

I am sure I'll be torn apart for such incorrectness, but the picture in this article, not reproduced here for reasons of mysteriousness, is of two people who I admire, but never expected to see in the same frame.

'sblood, Plant and Pagey have gongs !!

The PoW looks suprisingly youthful in that picture while Plant looks like he's the picture in the loft. He'll be gurning next. Cripes.

Sadly, I think the PoW is a preposterous person, a bumptious fop, an intellectual ninny whose limitations have never been exposed by those whose careers depend on his good favour.

He's the worst candidate for Head of State I can imagine, apart from all the others.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

It would take some detail to explain, but basically I think he is a decent person and I fully support his very public warnings about climate change. I don't want to argue about this ;-)

So the rest of the world can't view the UK's Olympic handover ceremony at Beijing?

International FAIL.

I found some torrent versions in full broadcast HD, but at 1.4GB I'm guessing the enthusiasm for viewing this clip may not be there.

Which is a shame. I guess.

Also FAILs from Spain.

The peak-to-trough part of the business cycle is an outlier. Carnot would have died laughing.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
