I love Gene Hunt.

Scary white clown is STILL FUCKING SCARY!

Is Alex an alcoholic? She's been off her face in both episodes so far.

That is all.

ETA: ( Cut for spoiler )

ETA 2: *sigh* Another mass shooting at a US university? What. The Fuck. World?

I have a new computer mouse and its a thing of glory. Wireless and sleek and comfortable and with 'back' and 'forward' buttons so I don't have to bother with all that pesky right-clicking to hit the back button. So anyway, as promised, that meme I need to reciprocate on:

Here's how the interview works:

If you want to be interviewed, this is what you do:

1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.

Questions will probably be fandom or interests based, as I lack inspiration at the moment to come up with good life or morality based ones.

Annnd the news is telling me that Council Tax is going to be going up by about 4%. Can I hate this government any more, seriously? Its not enough that gas and electricity bills went up by 17% a couple of weeks ago and the economy's going to shit and I HATE THIS DAMN FUCKING GOVERNMENT!!

Sooo want to live abroad. *sigh*

Holy crap. The Iranian president is giving a live interview on British TV right now.

Apparantly, Iran is a great and peaceful nation. And he is grinning and dodging the direct questions being asked about whether Iran plans to 'break the American's teeth.'

America is against the progress of Iran. It wants to do 'many things that it doesn't have the power to do.' And Iran 'knows how to defend itself.'

...and also railing on the journalist that's asking him the questions. He's not wanting to even let the dude ask him questions regarding Iraq.

Man, he certainly knows how to blather. And apparantly Iran and Iraq are 'great friends' and the interview was just finished....with him accusing the journalist of 'wanting to convey sentences, not answer questions.'

Wow. That was bizarre. And I had an open mind on Iran and its intentions up until now, but now I'm a bit more wary. Anyway. He's giving an interview to America tomorrow apparently so hopefully we'll get to see some coverage on that over here.

Odd. Very odd. Is this his idea of a charm offensive? Because he's achieved the opposite.

ETA: Oooh! He's given Channel 4 an interview as well. *watches*

...OK, the start of this is hilarious. Because the correspondent is sitting opposite the President in the gardens of his palace or wherever, and he's introducing the news, then going back to the studio so they can announce the rest of the headlines, then back to Tehran...and now a report on the political situation with Iran at the moment - and the whole time, the President of the country is just sitting there, looking quite bored and pissed off and being made to wait. BWAH!

( Cut for length and random musings (I quite like his beard, by the way) )

Well. He's quite blinkered and full of shit. And I still don't know what point he's trying to make with these interviews, apart from seeming to want some kind of worldwide group hug to occur. And not being very convincing about it either.

And in squee-inducing news, Led Zeppelin are reforming! AWESOME! Even if it is only for a one-off concert.
