Best News Day Ever! Aw, man, I just watched the Channel 4 News, and I'll be damned if it wasn't the most entertaining news day for months. Very light on distressing personal tragedy and death, but heavy on big political stories and Heat-style gossip, I dug June 7th the mostest. Here are the highlights...

.1. High-speed powerboat battles! James Bond-style Hollywood action comes to the G8, as the German military take on a maverick buncha Greenpeace anarchists and -dig this- actually RAM the peacenik's vessels to a halt in the water!

.2. Romance! Bush 'n' Blair cosy up for one last fling at the G8 Summit, where the two ol' buddys make like a Neo-Conservative Brokeback Mountain! Now watch this drive!

.3. Sleazy Tabloidism! Peaches Geldolf kicked out of Big Brother for bullying Jade Goody! Or Something! Paris Hilton released from jail with leg-clamp thing! Heat Magazine proclaims Leg-Clamp Things 'Hot'!

.4. International Political Intrigue! BEA Systems, The British Government, One Billion £££'s and a Saudi Prince! The only thing missing from this story's is a good speedboat battle! Infact, Speedboat Battles are the thing missing from MOST stories; I mean, I liked A Doll's House, but every so often you're like, 'where're the Speedboats at'?!

Now that's entertainment!

Also: how insanely cool is John Snow?
