There was a headline on the BBC website earlier about Coventry being twinned with Volgograd but by the time I clicked on it it had totally disappeared. It's as if the media are under orders to say nothing but bad things about Russia.

It took me 62 years to track down my real dad, although I had a pretty rough idea who he was since the age of 12. He still hasn't publicly acknowledged me as his son although he has in private. He's 79 now so much time left if he intends to.

I was stone cold sober and still couldn't make any sense of it!

I don't either! No place to put one even if I did.

I stopped watching after the first season. Not that i didn't enjoy it but I could see where it was headed and Frank Darabont did too which is why he quit.

I don't have a working colour TV at the moment. I've got two broken ones and a B&W portable which isn't connected to anything at present. Also no working gas cooker although I do have an electric mini-oven/grill which is perfect for 90% of the things I usually eat.
