What has everyone made of Clippers’ owner Donald Sterling's ban for life from the NBA ?

The Night of the Bayonet

The night was filled with dark and cold, When Sergeant Talbert, the story’s told, Pulled on his poncho and headed out, To check the lines dressed like a Kraut.

Upon a trooper, our hero came, Fast asleep, he called his name, Smith! Oh, Smith! Get up! It’s time To take your place out on the line.

[And Private] Smith, so very weary, Cracked an eye all read and bleary, [Then] grabbed his gun [rifle], he did not tarry, Hearing Floyd but seeing Jerry.

DON’T! cried Tab, IT’S ME!, and yet, Smith charged, tout suite, with bayonet. He lunged, he thrust, both high and low, And skewered the boy from Kokomo.

And as they carried him [Floyd] away, Our punctured hero was heard to say, When in this war you venture out, Best never do it dressed as a Kraut!

My morning news program reported that today is National Superhero Day. If you were a superhero, what would your super power be?

The British government is to change the way cigarettes packets are designed in an effort to stop people smoking. Instead of the current packaging, in future, there will be a picture of some organs or whatever, which have been damaged by smoking, and it will also feature the brand in small writing, I think. I believe this is what they do in Australia, maybe some other countries too.

That's fair enough, but the government aren't changing the laws on the way alcohol is packaged, which causes more problems and deaths than smoking. Surely there should be similar photos on beer cans, of damaged livers, or maybe the wrecked car of a drunk driver?

Cigarettes are displayed behind counters, and tobacco companies are not allowed to advertise, or sponsor events. Yet alcohol is displayed on shop floors, advertised on tv, in newspapers etc..., and manufacturers can sponsor events.

I think this is absurd, and unfair. Anyone else have an opinion?

Justice for the 96.

R.I.P.

On a summer evening,
There's really nothing better
Than to chuck yer work aside
And all your office fetters

And head down to a place you know
Will always be your friend.
A place of warm humanity,
Jovial to the end,
THE PUB - that institution
That supports us when we're down
To be found in every English place
In hamlet, village, town.

And even in the City,
Amongst that brutal flow,
The pub stands like an island,
A place where you can go.

To contemplate the weary day
It's drudgery and hates
But what's even better
Is to go with yer mates.

So head down to the pub with us,
For crisps and chips and cheer.
Come and meet us at Green Park or Embankment for a beer.

If we're not supposed to judge a book by it's cover, why do publishers bother with illustrations or photos, etc.... on the covers of books?
