We all know what the IRA are going to say today: that in light of recent events the bottom’s really fallen out of the Blowing People Up market, so they’re going straight. Can’t they just spit it out without the whole global news build-up?
And meanwhile, the truly important stories are going unreported apart from a tiny spot on the front of today’s Daily Express (see right).
Not content with indexing everything on the planet, Google now brings us Google Moon. Zoom right in for a breathtaking close-up of the surface.
The Today Programme had a slot this morning about Extras. They wheeled on the Independent TV critic who thought it was bold, funny, ground-breaking, yadda, yadda, yadda. And that was it. A counterpoint was suspiciously absent.
Note to our overseas readers: both Extras and the Today programme are produced by the BBC.
Let me be the first to say what we’re all thinking: Extras was crap. I hope it gets better from Episode 2.
Why settle for rhinestones when you could have diamonds? Why drink Tesco Bière de France when you could have Stella Artois? Why make do with a Thai ladyboy when you could have Kylie? etc.
Somebody was quick off the mark with their Photoshop fingers…

Finding a spunky young filly to join you on a jaunt around the globe ought to be such a straightforward and enjoyable endeavour, but somehow it always ends up getting over-complicated.
I’m just looking at the line-up for Live8 in Hyde’s Park: Elton John, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd, REM, Sting, U2, UB40 and of course Bob Geldof. Not a natural hip joint between them. In fact, half of them came out of retirement for the original Live Aid, 20 years ago. You’ve got to wonder about Geldof’s so-called morals, parading a group of OAPs in front of a baying crowd all day for his own entertainment. It’s sick. What’s wrong with using youngsters? Where are the Goldie Looking Chain when you need them? By all means Make Poverty History, but can’t we at the same time let the old grow old in dignity?
