His howling (IMO) was so over the top.

Genuine grief or a hammy performance?

I know which one I go for.

The Pistorius wailing reminded me that we are never too far away from our basic instincts. When I heard the wailing I hoped someone would come along and put a stop to it.

I´ve been watching this trial with interest and I really can´t make up my mind. The wailing really unnerved me and I thought that it was real. However, if OP is in denial then he would be doing that, wouldn´t he?

Prosecutor Nel, the ´Pit Bull´is doing a good job though, if you like that sort of thing. I shall be tuning in on Monday to see how it progresses.

The Royals down under.
On balance I support the concept of the UK monarchy...just.
However, not impressed with Prince William. His efforts at public speaking make me cringe -even worse when he attempts to crack a joke. Very wooden and weak.
Stupid, pointless and irrelevant comments - trying to convince the masses how in touch they are.

Glad I've got that off my chest.
Still got GP's and Hillsborough to go though!

Good news is that Euan Blair will soon be selected for a safe Labour seat. (Bootle) Nice to see that Our Dear Leader is learning from North Korea. Party leadership[ SHOULD be hereditary !

... and an 11% share of it to Mike Ashley

So I imagine it will be turned into an upmarket Chinese Bazaar with a sideline in tacky sports clothes and trainers.

It seems his wife sent a text message stating that after finally getting it on with hubby, he was no great shakes in the sack, or at least not as good as her other boyfriends.

Three interesting trials, Dewani, Pistorious and now Abu Hamza.

Although unlike the other 2 emotional defendants,hamza has decided to defend himself.

Lets hope he does a good job. (not)

25 schools in Birmingham are being investigated, pupils were seen being segregated, and the preachers have stated that it is a Jihad, and all methods are valid, the ultimate goal is strict islamic education. Skynews.

Instead of trying to change the system in the UK, why don´t the parents move on to a country where the education of their children is more in keeping with strict islam .
