They are both praying for the state of the world I hope......


Because it's in a mess. Actually I have seen the man and his dog at the walkway between the monorail station by the MBK centre in Bangkok.

Let's start. The News of the world is as of now, closed. That's no big deal because it was a horrible sleazy newspaper reporting on not very interesting things. But hacking into peoples phone is really not on. One can't have a good old rant to a friend without being constantly on the lookout for strange noises coming down the line, not counting the heavy breathers, of course...

Then we have the splendid visit of the new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Canada and California. That was a grueling schedule, always being trotted about like 2 specimens, having to smile all the time, but they pulled it off with a lot of charm and good manners. And showed a lot of class as well. I am sure Granny Queen is delighted, she can leave the monarchy in good hands. Catherine showed that to look good one doesn't have to wear skirts up to the panty line and a cleavage of hysterical proportions. She's at the start of her term of royal hoopla-ness and will, no doubt, grow into it very well. The way she interacted with little Diamond who has cancer, was perfect and not put on. That child, even if she dies, poor little one, will have something so precious to cherish. I liked the stylish dress the Duchess wore in Los Angeles for the BAFTA do, covered up and looking gorgeous. What on earth has Nicole Kidman done to herself? I didn't recognize her! And her hair was wrong for that dress. JLO looked ........... as did most of the others, except for Jennifer Garner. Oh dear, why, oh why, with all their money, stylists et al, do they get it wrong?

Then we have, what? Nearly everything going wrong! I often wonder what the world has come to. It seems impossible to have good news, it's all bad.

Having said that, here are a couple of headlines which tickled my fancy. That's not happened for a long time and you may think what you like!

Looking for love in all the wrong places: Bear sedated for the 6th time for looking for a mate. Poor bear. As no. 6131, he was found up a tree in East Brunswick. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I think he has a problem in knowing where to look. The last I knew, black bears are not playing hard to get up a tree! He's spending so much time on the road he's losing weight. Being quite a bit smaller than the other males, he's not doing so well in the fighting stakes.  someone please give him boxing lessons...I feel so sorry for him. I hope love will come soon...

Halle Berry is probably going to play queen of soul Aretha Franklin in new TV bio!  Please no! She of the gorgeous figure which women would die for, having to become the blob! I love Aretha's voice, but not her looks! Anyway, I am sure Halle wouldn't have to sing, as she couldn't for a moment have the voice for it, but am left wondering which part of Aretha's life will she be playing? surely not the end bit? Aretha must have weighed 130 kilos, if not more! Ye gods and little fishes, what would the lovely Halle look like! I dread to think. The saga continues...

Good, isn't it....................
