Boris, the lesson we should take from Avatar is that 3D works and its fab! Did you see the 3D adverts before the film? I saw ‘£’ signs!
As world leaders in media tech, are we going to see 3D global transmissions of the opening ceremony of the London Olympics? (Talk to Seb and BBC Sport/World!)
SB
(Oh and of course we might like to adopt some of the blue people’s attitude towards compassion, the universe, each other etc.)

( sleepy eyes ) So why the hell is the bloody EU funding a £2million Communist theme park in Bulgary right now? Is this Queen P’s idea? Or is it those hardcore socialists-in-the-EU’ idea? http://www.romaniantimes.at/?id=6000&print=1

@Mårten Engelberg: The great Canadian couldn’t do that alone. Ok the great Canadian and his Americans won.

hettie, you may have heard on SKY BREAkING NEWS about 15 minutes ago, President Obama making a statement that although he is proud of many things he has achieved since coming to office, he realises that a mistake he has made is failing to communicate his thinking adequately to the American populace. He has lost his link with the people.

Boris said he has given up a large part of his role with the Met because it is administrative. He will still have regular meetings with Sir Paul Stephens and counter-terrorism chief John Yates. He has carried through major decisions like dealing with Sir Ian Blair, installing a top team at the Yard, and revolutionarising budgets. He intends to communicate with Londoners as much as possible.Losing his bond with the people is a mistake Boris would never make.

[re Boris Johnson to stand down as chair of the Metropolitan Police Authority]

Jenny Jones, who also sits on the London assembly as a Green party member, accused the mayor of going back on his word.

“The mayor made a clear commitment to Londoners in his election manifesto to personally take charge of the police authority. He has now gone back on his word, realising that being both mayor and chair of the MPA is just too much for one person to do properly.

“It was an ill thought-out promise, and one that showed his lack of experience.

No, I too have no taste for gloom and am not enthused by the film. Unless dragged there by little hands I love I will remain in the dark so to speak.
