Theo's Movie Review.. Charlie Wilson's War....
..Great film. I don't know how true to life it is but another great prefofmance from Tom Hanks. This is the guy from 'Bachelor Party and 'The Money Pit'. I think he will be remembered as one of the best actors of his generation. I cannot think of many of the present generation who can act and still manage a 'star' status. All the others seem to rely on the scandal sheets for their publicity.
Theo's Movie Review...John Rambo (Rambo 4)
Not bad. A lot better than Rambo 3. I am a fan of Stallone even if I have never seen a Rocky movie. I have seen a lot worse movies and I quite liked the final scene with him with a kit bag on a deserted highway which is where it all began with First Blood.
He should be 'committed'....
Speaking in London, Sen Obama said: " ... I have already committed an increase in American troops in Afghanistan ..."!
Isn't that the prerogative of the Commander-in-Chief?

Editors note: Theo is taking a break.
From tomorrow night I will be taking a three week break to concentrate on work and the harvest. I will try and post at the weekends but during the week my computers will be switched off. (Well thats the theory). Normal service will resume on the weekend of Aug 16th. I will be going through the 400 e-mails in my inbox tomorrow and will post as much of it as I can.
Happy Birthday Jeremy........
Jeremy Jacobs became eligible for his pension yesterday. Please pop by and give the old man some sympathy.

How long till Brown goes down? The knives are out for Gordon after poll disaster in Glasgow. Not long. The summer recess will only delay the inevitable.
Obama is greeted by a smiling Blair and Brown as he touches down in London. The Three Socialist Stooges.
I'm worth it: The town hall official who's paid more than the PM. No you are not darling.
Millions of profiles from DNA database passed to private firms. Nothing is safe with this government.
Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad bans newspaper reporting rift in leadership. Too much to hope that they get into a big fight and take each other down.
Barrister who defended terror suspects appointed director of public prosecutions. As if our judicial system is not f**ked up enough. Now we get this numpty whose loyalties are questionable.
Eighty-eight-year-old war hero takes on burglar. Good man.
War veterans banned from flying flag over fears they may hurt themselves. How effing pathetic.

Disaster for Brown as Labour suffers crushing by-election defeat. I don't think he will survive until Christmas.
Cost of living outstripping pay packets by biggest margin for 20 years. Labour cannot afford to lower taxes to help people. The economy may just fall apart.
What price morality? Judge champions Max Mosley's right to hold S&M orgies. Makes you wonder what the Judge gets up to in his spare time! I actually support tighter privacy laws (except for politicians) and this could curb the excesses of the gutter press. Mosley should still be booted out of the FIA because of what he did and will no doubt do again.
The 12-minute TV ad: Commercials get longer as watchdog relaxes rules. There are already too many ads.
Why Cruella de Vil's cigarette could put an 18 certificate on 101 Dalmatians. How effing pathetic!
Painter fined for smoking in van. It gets worse!
Treat Muslims better, Britain told by UN. F**k off, UN told by Englishman!
Britain's nuclear warheads will be upgraded, document suggests. Good. Just don't tell Obama.
Iranian chief 'stalls' nuclear talks by giving 'rambling' history lecture. More playing for time. Military action is about all that will stop Iran's nuke orogram.
A Workout Instead of Meeting U.S. Troops? Bad Move, Senator Obama. Commander in Chief, no chance.

Freedom.....
Photo Album: Take a Fresh Peek at Freedom. Another thing we won't be getting.
H/T DJ Elliott
A teacher in Lafayette, Tennessee asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Obama fans?
Not really knowing what an Obama fan is, but wanting to be liked by the teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny.
The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different...again.
Little Johnny said, "Because I'm not an Obama fan."
The teacher asked, "Why aren't you an Obama fan?"
Johnny said, "Because I'm a Republican."
The teacher asked him why he's a Republican.
Little Johnny answered, "Well, my Mom's a Republican and my Dad's a Republican, so I'm a Republican."
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, "If your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"
With a big smile, Little Johnny replied, "That would make me an Obama fan."
