Planet Boinng

This just in: we spent the last week on a cheapskate holiday in Great Yarmouth, with four nights in a holiday park caravan and two in a B&B, and had a bloody lovely time of it too. Members can peek at the pictures in http://www.boinng.com/gallery/yarmouth2009/. Facewhat?

It behooves me to welcome, on behalf of the citizens of this planet, a new addition to the collective - Mr Joshua Oluyemi Keshinro-Biles, the amazing child of D and Ibby, born on the 16th.

Joshua, when you find this post in the internet archive by 'Binging your own name on the wireless contact lenses of the future, may I be the first to say that whatever your dad tells you now, he never used to do his homework either. So just humour the old codger and enjoy yourself but, and I mean this, ALWAYS listen to your mother. She knows best.

Happy Birthday Joshua!

The collection of songs remastered by George Harrison (Let it Roll) not only illustrates the serious talent of the man himself but also shows what happens when genius is eclipsed by not one but two even greater geniuses. Playing straight man to one guy is kind of OK, but to two?

It is idle to peculate on what might have happened if Harrison had not met the other Beatles but had had a solo career because without the Beatles' influence, George Harrison (and thousands of others) would never have been inspired to (let alone paid to) make music.

Just weeks after the surprise news of a film in the offing, comes the equally surprising and sad news that Primeval won't be returning on ITV for a fourth series
