Whisky RIP

The sense of loss is palpable...

Talented Family

I hear that the British Labour Party has selected Edward Miliband to be its new leader. He beat out his brother, David, to the post. That's quite a talented family, especially when you also remember their musically gifted father, Steve, who had all those hits in the 70's.

Widescreen People

I got myself a nice new widescreen TV a while back and while it's great, you do have to make a call on which setting to use when viewing older non-widescreen shows.

I usually opt to stretch the picture so that it takes up the whole screen but it does mean people look shorter and fatter.

Surprisingly, this is less disconcerting than you might imagine. Possibly it's because I'm finding that when I walk around outside, I also see widescreen people. Everywhere. They waddle amongst us.
