Dr Who ... revenge of the BBC !
by Simon in.
the latest episode of dr who really made me laugh - the bbc script writers made some quite subtle but pointed digs at the government wo had previously 'won' (unfairly) after appointing their own judge as to whether the bbc or the government lied about iraq.. the pm got killed.. downing street got destroyed because of aliens with .... weapons of mass destruction that could be launched in 45 minutes seconds (which in the end turned out not to exist).
brilliant.

Years ago, when my Pop was on one of his "serving where the need is great" missions, we finished up living in Yeovil, down in darkest Somerset.
The meetings were held in a 2 story rented hall. The Kingdom Hall was on the lower floor. Above was another, almost identical hall that was also rented. Strangely, the uppermost hall was rented by another religious group, and I was informed by our PO that this group were a breakaway sect of the JW's that he referred to as "The Evil Slave".
Even more confusingly, the upper hall held it's meetings at the same times as we held ours. Also, the toilets were shared between us and them. One could be stood at a urinal happily piddling away, then an "Evil slaver" would wander in, stand in the next urinal and try to make conversation. I always said hello which, I was later informed, was extremely verboten. Tut tut, bad Englishman.
Weirder still, when a witness wedding was held, the happy couple would marry in the local Registry office and then hold the wedding reception in the Evil Slave hall above the KH! The KH was not for the holding of receptions apparently.
Anyway, I'm digressing with all of this chatter. What I want to know is this: Are the Evil Slave class supposed to be an actual organised religion, similar to what existed above the Yeovil KH, or is the term "Evil slave" a broadly viewed reference to anyone who's just stopped being a JW?

My eldest and youngest sons came around to watch the match on Pay Per View TV. We donned our Pompey shirts, watched the match and then went down to the pub. Here we all are sat on the front wall:

Nope, sorry lads, even Man U v Man City doesn't hold a candle to this one.
BTW, we won! Stuffed 'em out of sight!

It's only 2 hours to go before the biggest rivals in football square up to each other. Portsmouth v Southampton. The twin cities have hated one another for over half a century. It all started when Portsmouth navy dockyard workers went on strike and the Southampton merchant dockers were bussed in to do their work, so reducing the strikes impact. Now, Southampton football club are bottom of the Premier league and travel to Portsmouth to face Pompey, who are only just outside the relegation zone themselves.
It promises to be a red blooded affair.
