I also hear that yet another re-make of "Robin Hood" is in the offing!
OK, let's milk (er, celebrate) this traditional English hero for all its (his) worth ... but how come we can't find (just once, perhaps) an English actor to play the part? Aren't there any left?
What about this guy (spotted recently on the street in Nottingham)?
A woman from West Ham was diagnosed as a suspected case of Swine Flu after squeaking to her GP. Apparently, she had broken out in a rasher. She was transferred to Chase Farm Hospital, but doctors there have confirmed there's snout wrong with her.
It appears the virus is being spread from country to country by a number of globe-trotters who are infecting those of us who are still in the pink. The doctors have been trying to cure them with oinkment but so far are only making a pig's ear of it. The politicians need to begin pulling their ears out and start earning their bacon. Or is it, as some cynics are suggesting, just a load of tripe?
Meanwhile, the Boffins are trying to establish just how the virus travelled to Cancun from the troughs at Westminster. Let's hope that it's not just pork barrel politics, as usual. If it is, then they probably deserve a good roasting!
Uh oh ... I hear that the US government is warning that the worldwide network of satellites that make up the Global Positioning System (GPS) could fail by next year.
Just when I had become used to just setting the Sat-Nav and then driving off on auto-pilot!
Maybe the schools could now employ Geography teachers and teach people how to read maps, 'that would be a novelty' Pity to all the reps getting lost on one-way systems in and out of strange towns!
If you think hiring professionals is expensive, try hiring amateurs!
Jeddah is still a mess, roadworks everywhere, underpasses, overpasses a sewage system that appears to be connected to nothing. No public transport unless you include the suicidal 2 Riyal 'Stinky' buses that dart in and out of traffic at will.
