My views, not my employer's. Also, being a coward, I didn't tick "yes" to request a reply.

(Body Fantastic episode, broadcast 20:30)

My complaint is about the G-force and diving sections of the programme. I didn't stay to watch the rest.

The science was poor and the presentation patronising. The presenter said "this is called G-force" in the tone of voice that suggested this was some fancy-schmantzy new science jargon, and as the programme went on I got the distinct impression he didn't really understand what G-force meant. (Roughly speaking, it is a measure of acceleration, measured in multiples of the Earth's gravitational force, so one G is the same force as the Earth's gravity. This wasn't made clear. Pretty sure gravity was never mentioned.)

Then he came out with some rubbish about evolutionary theory that floored me. read more...

Bust. Story. Ever.

Shower-singing reality TV show for India

Grrrrrr.

The petition says: "We the Christian population of this great country England would like the proposed plan to build a Mega Mosque in East London scrapped. This will only cause terrible violence and suffering and more money should go into the NHS."

Makes me rather ill, actually. (Or maybe that's the exhaustion, stress and lack of sleep.) These twonks don't speak for my Christian colleagues and of course they don't speak for me, one of the atheist population. "This great country England" is darkly reminiscent of the emotion-stirring language that's always being used to bypass the brains of the American population (and perhaps others, to be fair; I've never seen any N Korean media).

As for the NHS sentence at the end... so blatant. If you are in favour of mosques (being built using private donations) you are against saving lives!!!

Ah well; I signed the opposing petitions. There are even one or two non-Islamic-sounding names among the signatories...

Gotta list this one or I'll be omg suppressing free discussion. ;) Even though I don't personally care about the Queen, I do get very angry when people edit things in misleading ways.
