News Just In...
Caoimhe has walked out of the Big Brother house. What a muppet, like you couldn't wait the 3 days til Friday. We all know the only reason why she walked is cos she couldn't handle the boos she would get on Friday.

I saw this on Digital Spy and I couldn't help cracking up. Mohammed George (if you don't know who that is it's the guy who played Gus the street sweeper on Eastenders), just won libel damages over a tabloid report, that he was removed from the shows 25th Anniversary party.

Image via WikipediaSo what has Gus been in since his stint in Eastenders??? I had a lil looky poo on IMDB and came up with zilch. I guess that's what happens when you slag off a BBC show. I'm just saying...

In Telly News...
Image via WikipediaBeavis and Butthead are coming back... I repeat Beavis and Butt-Head are coming back.
Sources at MTV have confirmed that the 90's duo will return to our screens.
Though the new series will meet Beavis and Butt-Head for the first time in 13 years, they will still be in high-school, but it will be updated for the 21st century.

Sucker Punch
Sucker Punch by Roy Williams - at the Royal Court Theatre
If there is one play you watch at the theatre this month, this is the play you need to watch. One word...Amazing. Kudos to Miriam Buether the designer, because the stage was amazing; I actually felt as if I was attending a real boxing match.
The blend of high action music and lighting affect had both mine and I'm certain the rest of the audiences hearts beating along with the drama that was unfolding before us. I was totally encapsulated.
The choreography was superb, especially in the final fight scene.
I liked that Kaluuya narrated the boxing matches; allowing us to envision them for ourselves.
My overall verdict:
4 Stars baby
xxooxx
Starring:
Daniel Kaluuya as Leon
Gary Beadle as Ray
Jason Maza as Tommy
Sarah Ridgeway as Becky
Trevor Laird as Squid
Nigel Lindsey as Charlie
Anthony Welsh as Troy

Set in the 1980's, Sucker Punch explores the lives of main character Leon and his best mate Troy. It follows them from school yard friends to opposing boxers. The play not only explores boxing and friendship, but issues with race surface. Such as the racist comments from Charlie and Tommy, the interracial relationship between Leon and Becky, and the belief that Leon has sold out and in turn has become an Uncle Tom.

On A Serious Note
Last night I experienced the most scariest thing ever. On my train journey home from an event with two members of the motley crew, I witnessed a man have a fit/seizure right in front of my face. Now I know what a fit looks like because I've seen it happen on the television but that is nothing compared to seeing someone having one right there in the flesh. It was one of the most scariest experiences of my life. I seriously thought that he was going to die.
One of the most disturbing things was that when he crashed to the floor, no-one in the carriage knew what to do. Because nobody knew first aid! It was the courageous actions of a few, that settled the man and called the ambulance that probably saved his life. I believe that everyone should learn first aid and that it should be a made compulsory for children to learn whilst at school. I think that it is an extremely important life skill to know because it effectively helps in the process of saving someones life. I know that if it was just me and nobody else on that carriage last night that man may not have survived because I have no knowledge of first aid.
Since witnessing what I did, I have made the initiative to enroll on a British Red Flag first aid course. I will also be getting in touch with my local council to make first aid courses available to all, in the area that I live in.
