So tonight I watch "Midnight in Paris", the Woody Allen movie. I brought it because I'm a big fan of Owen Wilson (and Tom Hiddleston and Adrien Brody even though they aren't in it much and Hiddleston wasn't even on the box) so the movie stood out for me.

Fairy Tail Anime Reviews
I am in the process of writing up my Fairy Tail reviews from the last couple episodes of Fairy Tail. I'll probably write them all tonight then schedule them to publish themselves over the next few days. I believe this week will be the last episode so wanted them up to date before then (or else last week was the last episode and this will not matter at all....)
Neverwhere : The Angel Islington
Last episode Richard, Door and Hunter were told how to reach the Angel Islington by the Earl. Marquis looks like he has betrayed his group to Croup and Vandermar, and there is some sort of curse that stops Hunter from leaving London Below.
Richard and Door are in the British Museum looking for a picture of an angel so that they can locate the angel Islington. Unfortunately they walk into a room full of pictures of angels. Do they find the one they need?

It gets worse.

Clarification on my opinion of the RBR Team Orders
So with people trying to make out anyone who had a problem with Seb's attitude on Sunday is a hypocrite I want to clarify my stance.
I don't give a toss about team orders. I think it is a team sport and if you can help your team mate you should. AT THE SAME TIME I don't think team orders should be there at the beginning of the season when BOTH drivers are able to win the title. The emphesis should always be on getting both drivers to the championship UNLESS it is written in their contract.
Of course I have the utmost respect for any driver who disobeys team orders, I have no respect for a driver who takes a team order then moans about it post-race and gets their team into trouble*cough*Massa*cough*...
Now my problem with Vettel wasn't that he disobeyed a team order (which would be hypocritical I fully admit) and it isn't about team orders in general either. It is all about respect.
I will give Vettel the benefit of the doubt that he could have misheard, he might not have understood or whatever.
In my view he got a call that he knew would mean Webber was on the back foot and then after not being able to get past Webber when they were on equal footing ("He's much slower than me" strop) he took that opportunity to overtake Webber when he had the upper ground.
That isn't just disobeying a team order, that is showing a total lack of respect to Webber who has in the past helped Vettel in the race when he's been out of the championship picture.
People say that is the ruthlessness that a 3x World Champion needs. Maybe so. But I'd rather have a straight team order (Mercedes even though it pissed me off the way they spoke to Nico) then one driver taking advantage of a team order but ignoring them when they go against them in a disrespectful manner.
So to conclude...
Disobey team orders all you like, but at least do it when it is needed. Don't be an ass and when you know the team has put your team mate at a disadvantage use that as a reason to overtake them. THAT isn't racing, it isn't even in my opinion disobeying a team order the way we mean it to be its being a jackass for no reason. And I'd feel the same if it was any other driver.
(Example Alonso is the biggest jackass on the grid most races and he's my favorite driver)

Neverwhere : Earls Court
Last episode Richard, Door, the Marquis and Hunter set out on their way to find the Angel Islington. In the streets of London Below Richard Mayhew was on the journey of his life not quite sure what to believe and probably confused out of his mind after being introduced to the weird and wonderfully magical world of the people around him.
What will happen next to the group and do they find Islington?

50th Anniversary Expectations (Moffat will never win)
So filming for the 50th anniversary hasn't started yet. But that hasn't stopped expectations (and speculation) on the episode to go into overdrive. Some people have already made their perfect episode in their head and decided that if that isn't the mold that the episode actually fits then they'll go as far as complain to the BBC.
Yes I really mean that, someone said if they don't have the 11 Doctors they will complain to the BBC.

Ignorant people disease
In this day and age you'd hope people would just start to accept other people.
At the moment we have a guy called Kai living with us. He is transgender, going through the operations and everything to become a man, he has his papers and birth certificate all changed and legally is a man.
But for some reason he is being bullied by some ignorant teenage girl and now her mother!
In my opinion the mother should be forced to go and spend time with transgender people. Really I believe that she should be arrested and her child, the disgusting piece of filth that she is, should... Well I don't know, maybe put in a room were everyone can tear into her and her life! How would she like it to live under a microscope and be abused for things she probably hasn't done.
Thing is Kai doesn't really look like a female or a male, he's in between at the moment. So how they even KNOW he's transgender is beyond me, but even if you have a problem why would you follow someone around and make their lives a living hell?!
Disgusting people.
This is about the 4th time we've had to phone the police on these people, something needs to be done.

Team Order debate..... Again
I haven't seen the race yet but as I've read the news I thought I'd write a piece on this.
So apparently today Webber and Vettel were allowed to race each other until after the last pit stops. Mark and Sebastian were then told to turn their engines down, a command that Mark obeyed but Vettel.... Might have? I don't know did he turn his engine down? The point is after that which was a clear order to keep their positions Vettel then over took Mark Webber.
Not only that but apparently (though I haven't read about this one) Lewis Hamilton got a podium at the expense of Nico Rosberg who was given a team order (possibly more on this in the race review blog.)
Now I have no problem with team orders to win a championship, I have no problems with team orders at all. In my opinion it is up to the driver to do it or not, if you don't want to give up your place then fucking man up and take it like a man.
What I don't like is when someone will be on one side of a team order, or will happily let their team mate "help" them in a race but won't do it the other way round.
Now I don't know if Vettel really made a mistake or whether he knew or not that Webber had also been told to slow down but if he DID then I don't blame people for being pissed! Webber might not like it and might not take it sitting down very often but he has been a good team mate when it has counted. To be honest I don't see Vettel as a good team mate and not just because he's "arrogant" or anything like that (else I wouldn't be a Alonso fan) but he just seems to want to make Webber out to be terrible and I don't think Webber should have to deal with it.
At the end of the day though Webber has the right to be angry, this isn't the last time I'm sure I've heard RBR to tell Webber to turn his engine down and Vettel has overtaken him. One way or the other to Mark this will probably be a team order in Vettels favor.
I'm not making my mind up till I watch it but everyone needs to calm down about it.

The British Uprising
So I was asked today about my view on the "take over" by British stars.
In other words Benendict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith and at times James McAvoy... Amongst a few others.
To be honest in my view it is very easy.
They are normal, down to earth, friendly, handsome, well spoken men. Add to that when they do get massive they are actually really shocked to think that they'd have fans as devoted and in love with them as we all are.
PLUS possibly the biggest plus is that they are all BRILLIANT actors. And I say that as someone who has only ever seen one thing with David Tennant in that I liked!
What isn't there to like?
Personally. Well I don't like Tennant much myself and am indifferent to McAvoy, I'd also exclude Matt because even though I like him his boom in America is purely for Doctor Who and even though I've seen a few bits here in the UK (on the BBC) that he has been in I don't know whether he'll "burst" into this scene like the others have.
So Benedict and Tom...
***DISCLAIMER : That is the major part of the blog all done and dusted up there ^__^ what happens down here V--V is basically me telling you why I personally think Benedict and Tom are wonderful making it worldwide. There isn't much more from what I said about all of them but I'm a huge fan of both Benedict and Tom***
