Hello everyone, I am currently in Al Khafji on the Gulf for a few days and this video shows the beach just outside my hotel room. It’s a beachside paradise without people. Lovely view and gorgeous weather.

Cookery Programme Slop
I was desperate so I watched the Local Hero Cookery programme on BBC Lifestyle this morning and here are some of the things they said.
someone was passionate ... they said this about 8 million times
look at that ... eg look at that [piece of meat] ... when one looked there was nothing unusual to see, in my opinion
wow! ... said by the interviewer when a cook taking part in a cookery programme in which locally sourced ingredients was vital said that he was using local ingredients in his restaurant
a dish had 'Lavender going through it' What? WHAT?
Someone who said that even though he's a television chef (I'd never seen him before so I took his word for that) 'It's not just about cooking ...' We know!!
'He's so on my wavelength'
amazing is slipping down the list as it was mentioned only about one million times
Finally, not the best or the worst but the last one I noticed: reshtaurant!
I will renew my offer to the BBC to teach its presenters how to COMMUNICATE.

Cheat, cheat, cheat ...
It's Saturday, it's Chelsea, it's a penalty ... the Chelsea centre forward ran into the penalty area along with a defender, slight contact possibly but then we see the arched back and the collapsing in a heap. It's bad enough that Chelsea were awarded an unfair penalty but the defender was sent off. Not good that.
In the same way, Kenwyne Jones was sent off in the Sunderland match as a result of an opposing player collapsing in a heap after a push by Jones. However, the opposing player collapsed while holding his face as if he had been punched by Jones. The replay shows nothing of the kind: Jones did NOT punch anyone. Not good that.

Burnley 2 v Hull City 0
While Burnley were winning the game against Hull City at Turf Moor the BBC web site was persistently showing that the match was being drawn 1 : 1. Even when they put up the full time score it still said 1 : 1 draw. Just checked their videprinter and it shows a 2 : 0 win for the Clarets. Get in!
Then again, as Fulham were winning 3 : 1 over Liverpool, the BBC site was showing a 2 : 1 lead for Liverpool.
