As I have already noted here, on previous occasions, blogging has now become an important part of my life. Something that I shall never stop doing. I cannot predict a situation when I would ever need to. Regardless of what others may say, this blog will continue to grown and blossom. For some people, catching the blogging bug is easy enough. Losing it can be much more difficult, however I come to the conclusion that there are some bloggers, merely trying on the concept for size and finding it is very much not one size fits all phenomenon. So, yes, I have to report, that yet another blog bites the dust. This after only been added to my personal blog roll, three weeks ago. What a shame! JT was really on to something with his work based blog on the fast food chain, Burger King.

Did you watch the World Premiere of Band Aid 20? It would have been quite difficult to miss, BBC One, BBC Two, CBBC, ITV1, Channel 4, Five and Sky One, were all showing the video broadcast simultaneously at 5:50pm (GMT). Although one of my idols, Madonna introduced the remake, and the video is overall a polished poignant production, something is missing. Whenever you attempt to remake anything, be it movie, game or song. You run the risk of losing the magic of the original or trying to too hard to emulate the original. In this case the artists fall foul of attempting to drag a charity song from the 1980s into the 21st century. Not an easy task. Yet, it starts so well, and when you look at the lineup and lyrics on paper it looks like solid gold. Even the start, with Chris Martin, Dido and Robbie Williams opening the track. That is the only redeeming feature, believe me, it is down hill from there on in.

England game. Against Spain. Starring Looney Rooney and chants of the monkey. What a shame.
