Went to see THE ORPHANAGE last week at THE BARBICAN, the film was the best 'scary' I'd seen in a while, I also got shook for the first time, and another first was seeing a film at the Barbican cinema which is a real nice place with a good choice of films, and they got a alcohol licence which is always good.

A 21-year-old Harris County woman filed a $200,000 lawsuit against American Airlines alleging employees on a flight to Los Angeles from Dallas/Fort Worth Airport failed to protect her while she slept from another passenger who masturbated to her and ejaculated in her hair, according to a lawsuit she filed last week in Tarrant County.
The Harris County woman alleges employees knew of the risks associated with failing to “police the passengers to ensure that passengers do not hurt one another,” the suit states. Airline officials did not return calls seeking comment. In a statement to a Houston television station last year, a spokesman said the company regretted the incident, but the flight crew took appropriate action. The woman and her lawyer could not be reached for comment. The Star-Telegram does not identify victims of sexual crimes.
Destined for a Spring Break visit with family and friends March 19, the woman flew from Houston to DFW Airport and had settled into her seat for the last leg of flight 2074 to Los Angeles about 11 p.m., the suit states. The woman slept most of the flight, but awoke about 20 minutes before landing when the pilot announced the plane was on decent into Los Angeles. When the woman opened her eyes, she saw that an unknown man had moved into the seat next to her and was staring at her as he masturbated, the suit states. The woman turned toward the window in embarrassment and in an act of nervousness began to run her fingers through her hair where she noticed “a substantial amount of an extremely sticky substance in her hair,” the suit states. The woman began to cry and tried to get the attention of a flight attendant, but was unsuccessful, the suit states. Finally a passenger in the row in front of the woman comforted her and verified the semen in her hair, the suit states. When the plane landed, employee called airport police and the man was arrested.
The suit alleges that during the investigation, American Airlines employees told police they witnessed the man move from his assigned seat into the row where the woman was sleeping. The woman is seeking punitive damages and a jury trial.
12 years old, “it’s just a phase, won’t last long” I’d been told.
Seeing one of the older guys in my school cruising from the North wing to the south, by himself on his skateboard, I had always had a small interest after watching ‘Gleaming The Cube’ and ‘Back To The Future’ as a kid, and seeing it again flicked a switch in my head.
That day I bought R.A.D magazine from ‘Dods’, my local newsagent, this was the first glimpse into the massive world of skateboarding I was so unaware of. At this stage I had no one to share this new found interest with, and no board to ride! I used to stare at the shop adverts dreaming about owning an 'Acme' slick deck with Thunder trucks and spitfire wheels.
Cantaloes skate spot in Camden was the only local place designed for skating I new of at the time, and me and Glenn would go down on our own all the time, and watch little Stevie ollly the hip again and again. When it rained, we would skate to ‘Insane’ skateboards, a shop in Camden that would let us chill and watch videos while it rained, this was were I bought my first ‘Pencil’ deck for £1.50, It was mashed up, but I was so pleased just to have a deck that was shaped like the pro’s.
Me and Glenn started wearing Vans skate shoes at school, even though every day people would dis them, even my so called friends took the piss, "Ha! I could make them in Textiles class". This was one of my first lessons skating gave me, be yourself no matter what people say! You learn to get along with people who you otherwise thought were ‘different’ because of a shared passion for something, and you soon learn that your not that different at all!
Into my second pair of skate shoes, ‘Duffs’ to this day my favourite pair, blue suede with white and a toffee sole, I bump into a guy wearing a pair of Ellesse that were shaped like skate shoes, a chubby kid called Jasper, we asked each other if we skated, he said he was getting into it and that he had a board at home. Slowly, baggy trousers, hats, big chain wallets and crew neck jumpers spread through the school.
That was the beginning of my social life as a teenager, and come to think of it my adult life. When I started skating, it shaped my whole outlook on life, we would travel further than any other kids in our year, to find spots or skate parks, whilst they hung out around the local 7/11 on the Broadway. When we fell, we got up and tried again, an invaluable lesson that I apply to everyday life with my music.
The friends I have, my style, the life I lead, the music I make and listen too, is all thanks to a piece of wood and wheels.
I am forever indebted to skateboarding, and that guy skating from North wing to South at Fortismere School.
Here's some footage of a guy an old friend of mine used to skate with before he went to USA, some of you might have heard of him, Tom Penny.

I WAS A BIT WORRIED BY THE TASK OF BEATING MILAN AT HOME, BUT WE STOOD STRONG AND THE BOYS DONE GOOD! G.S.D ARSENAL THROUGH AND THROUGH! FULL-TIME AC Milan 0-2 Arsenal (agg 0-2) What a performance from Arsene Wenger's side. Having soaked up some early pressure from the hosts, they stamped their authority on the match - Cesc Fabregas the outstanding player. Goals from the Spaniard and Emmanuel Adebayor put Arsenal into the quarter-finals.
