Do you like metric football?

An "honour" indeed that is unbelievable.
Winslet plays even comedy with an air of determined tragedy. She is the finest extractor fan for otherwise salvageable scripts in the business.Actress Kate Winslet says receiving a CBE from the Queen for services to drama was an 'unbelievable honour'. Speaking outside Buckingham Palace, Winslet revealed Elizabeth II congratulated her and asked her if she liked her job. Winslet told her she loved her job, but not as much as motherhood, to which the Queen told her 'motherhood is the only job'
I hate to think that she is mentoring kids.

The really strange thing is that (a) anyone sees beauty in a game that would bore the tits off an armadillo and (b) what it is about the British psyche that makes them have to pretend they enjoy it.
Are there no more exciting "heroes" to exult than Arsenal? Or more exciting milestones to read about than how Ronaldo (who is not even British) moved to a new club for $30 trillion?

Great report by Lord Leveson.
His headline summary presentation was exquisite. Lawyers at their best are great communicators.
But I see Cameron is already positioning for a way to do as little as possible with his recommendations. No doubt to please his press mates - two more of whom will shortly land up in jail. Which is exactly the type of capture the whole bloody enquiry was about.
Leveson will be a shattered man. He made it glaringly clear that self-regulation won't work without legislative under-pinning.
But who knows? Maybe, for once, Clegg will show some balls. There'd be votes in it (though they will not save him), since 80% of the population has been polled as saying something dramatic must be done.

It appears that Cameron's aggressive attack on Leveson has lost him the support of at least 70 of his own party. Plus the support of his coalition partner and, of course, the opposition.
The man is a strutting and , by all accounts, rutting fool. His idiotic intransigence over something he could have easily controlled with a piss-weak legislative sop to the British public may well lose him his job and plunge Britain back into social democracy.

This is a hoot. Cameron standing tall for the Press but shrinking like thirsty parsley from taking his own advice when it comes to passing supporting legislation.
But Cameron was never one to not make something out of nothing. Stridently in front of the cameras.David Cameron has told national newspaper editors they must implement the Leveson report recommendations in their entirety if the government is to hold off introducing a new press law. The prime minister gave them until Thursday to demonstrate they were making progress on agreeing a reformed structure of regulation.
