New series started in the UK last night. Guess it has been out in the 'States for a while. Anyhow, with all the recent controversy about Harry Potter etc. I was wondering what the reaction to Ms. Gellers ressurection by means of witchcraft and subsequent escape from live burial was?

I must admit I was a bit concerned myself about the very casual approach to such a potentialy controversial topic. I guess it just me getting old but there seemed to be something weird about the portayal of a teenage witch killing an animal (implied) to bring back her friend from the dead! I would have expected it at the cinema or in a late night horror - but mainstream TV? And without any discussion of the ethical implications???

Still enjoyed it though. Wonder if Giles will go back to advertising coffee now he has returned to England. Not that I watch it mind you... With teeneagers in the house what else could I do... I was forced!!! Honest!

Just to show this ain't too serious i was told a tale by a cricketing friend of mine last year. He reckoned he went to a match where a member of the opposite team took a spray can and graffitied the officials white coat with bright red paint. "Don't worry", said the opposing captian. "That's just one of our local characters, John Duff. We call him Duffy the umpire sprayer..."
