h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes, Keith Allen...Lily Allens dad. He's been a major hell-raiser etc but it's great to see him showing a more serious and well-informed side to his nature.

I missed the whole programme first time round but as it's on Youtube I'll be watching it.

The clip also shows the (il)logical hoops these people have to jump through to justify what they are doing in terms of Jesus and god etc.

I also liked the bit when the kid said something like he expected those comments from someone who hadn't studied the Bible. People who really study the Bible either realise it's a pile of contradications and made up of previous myths...or go ostrich and ignore all the contradictions and play the faith card. Of course, most Christians I know haven;t fully read the Bible anyway and just Bible study the 'nice bits'.

The problem with them is they seem to miss out on the bits that say 'judge not that you be not judged' and 'speaking the truth in love'.

I didn't know this was going on just up the road from me!

Stem-cell surgery success.

Medical advances makes one's heart glad.

That 118118 live feed is the coolest and most surreal thing I've seen for a long time.

Thanks for posting it Christopher.

Again not video (not expressly anyway) but anyone who misses the sound of John Peel can find some of his shows, and much else besides, here
