On a lighter note:

I got two new DVDs out of the library yesterday:

GROW YOUR OWN (something tells me that this 'metaphor' is appropriate at this point in time - it is about ALLOTMENTS - ICKE had an article upon his site the other day all about getting on with it - or being without food in the near future - fine if you have a bit of earth to grow veg on - a luxury not afforded by those in flats with no window boxes)

Remember how RIMINGTON had created PROGRAMMING GROUNDS of so many allotments...in MANNINGTREE, HARWICH and CLACTON...the ill were obviously scared that they would lose control of their slaves if they started to 'grow their own' and avoid supermarket EU produce...

GODSEND (starring ROBERTO DE NIRO)...a DR WELLS who can create clones of children that have died...
