Incidentally, whilst browsing the Hindustan Times (as one does), I stumbled on what is possibly the most ridiculous news headline I’ve seen in a while. I’m sure it needs rephrasing, or at least some punctuation.

Celebrity watchers (this site gets plenty of them visiting, I’ll have you know) will be interested to learn that grayblog’s favourite Bollywood actress, Aishwarya Rai, has been offered the chance to be the next Bond girl. My sources tell me that the big stumbling block concerns on-screen kissing of Pierce Brosnan, something that most girls wouldn’t have a problem with.
All this comes as the lovely Ms Rai ("Ash" to her friends) recovers in hospital from injuries sustained in what is being described as a "freak accident" whilst filming last week, in which her leg and foot were hurt when she was hit by a runaway jeep.

With FA Cup weekend upon us, it’s time for some AFF transfers:
OUT: Svennsson and Hasselbaink
IN: Geremi and Beattie
A little predictable perhaps. I’m not entirely convinced that I have the right players for the semis in my team, nor am I convinced that either Premiership team is going to have an easy ride, or even a guaranteed victory. But we shall see.

Bank visit was brief and went well.
We haven’t had any Friday silliness for a while. Anyone got any bad jokes? And not the one about Saddam’s son bringing the shopping home in a box – I’ve heard that about 3286543 times already.

Whilst all eyes are on Iraq, it is worth remembering that this issue still hasn’t gone away (along with countless other "issues" around the world).
Which isn’t a cheery thought with which to start Friday, I’ll grant you.
Meanwhile, I’m actually in a good mood, aided by bright sunshine outside. Whether I’ll still be in such a good mood after I’ve been to the bank, who knows?

Grauniad: What about Private Lori? Maybe the saddos that keep coming here searching for "Jessica Lynch + Playboy" should read this.

Interesting: Centre for Media Freedom: Middle East and North Africa. via the Channel 4 News site.

Ananova: Branson may try to keep Concorde flying.

Reuters: SARS virus identity confirmed and named in honour of doctor who first identified the syndrome and subsequently died from it.

Rather nice that the French get credit for something at the moment, rather than constantly be the subject of British and American ire.
