If you like to see gay sex you might like this programme. It's about 2 gay blokes wanting to adopt. Little'un insisted I watch it because she felt it was a good representation of social workers and the child protection processes and adoption in general. Well, I've been out of it for over 5 years now so things might have changed a bit. In general although I've only seen 1 episode, I'll give it the thumbs up. I do have a couple of quibbles though. I've seen this done before on Coronation Street I think. I think the writers do it because it's such a dramatic device, however, for anyone that's interested, there is absolutely no way on earth prospective adopters would be left alone to do a tick box exercise to exclude or include children from their match. The list itself is a prompt for the social worker to explore the adopters attitudes and values to the most important element of the whole fuckin process. It's not a shopping list. I hate that mistake they make. As fuckin if !. Otherwise, so far it's fairly accurate. I told little'un that as a worker I would never have outsourced my recommendation to my manager or the panel (as this worker has the habit of doing). I'd own it and take full responsibility for it. For what it's worth I would have knocked these two back almost immediately. I recommend watching it (not Scrot though).

That America had never Developed & Used the Atomic Bomb.

If they had of used Conventional Weapons only to deal with the Japs and kept that Weapon a Deep Dark Secret, they would not now be 3 Despotic Dictatorships armed with them which is Russia, China and North Korea which makes it not an 'if' Atomic Weapons being used. It is now a matter of Time to 'When' it will be used by one of those 3 Dictatorships.


3X3

Last night’s (The Legend of Ruby Sunday) was absolutely amazing from start to finish.

And the reveal of the villain…gasp! Could never have predicted

Sutekh from 1975’s “The Pyramids of Mars”

I am led to believe this is genuine.

If so…am I out of touch to suggest that the “latte” image is more appealing? Does this make me an out of touch treacherous leftie?

I might have to go in the canal.

The Hare
by Walter de la Mare

In the black furrow of a field
I saw an old witch-hare this night;
And she cocked a lissome ear,
And she eyed the moon so bright,
And she nibbled o' the green;
And I whispered“Whsst! witch-hare”,
Away like a ghostie o'er the field
She fled, and left the moonlight there
