F[bleep]ing Censors
My weekly Cineworld email just arrived, with the cinema times for the upcoming week. This entry caught my eye:
Ocean's Twelve (12A)
(contains one audible and some bleeped uses of strong language)
some bleeped uses of strong language? Pardon? Surely if the language is too strong for a 12A, the solution is to make it a 15? Apparently not, so we get the film ruined with inappropriate bleeps.
Update: many people have informed me that this is intentional bleeping for comedic effect in a single scene, so that's okay then.

Nepal
In five weeks time we're off to India and Nepal for a two week holiday, which promises to be an amazing experience. Well, that is assuming we can actually get into Nepal...
This morning the King sacked the government and declared a national emergency in the conflict against the Maoist rebels, who want to change from constitutional monarchy to a communist republic. There is no communications, no air travel, and in general it's not a great place to be (official government statement) at the moment.
Balls, balls, and thrice balls. Hopefully Nepal will stabilise with amazing speed, but I think it's time we check the insurance terms and conditions.
