    David Watch! April

    Yes, just when you thought I'd forgotten, here's another edition of David Watch. Below you see Mr Miliband (who appears to be swearing), Mr Bellamy enjoying a conversation with a butterfly, N'Gog revelling in his goalscoring exploits, and the same pictures of Dickinson and Bowie as last time (sorry, couldn't be bothered to get new ones).
     
    David Miliband, despite saying last year that Iran's nuclear programme was a threat to world security, has now changed his tune. He now believes that "now is not the time to be rushing for more sanctions"; another example of our politicians playing 'follow the Obama'. Personally I think Miliband looks a bit like Obama... but don't let him hear me.
    Staying with Miliband, in February he declared Iraq "open for business" (and not just for catching 'terrorists' to be put on planes and taken through the UK on their way to American torture centres). Iraq is now safe enough for UK businesses to invest vast sums in industry there: "Britain will be a major investor in Iraq." Well that's OK then Dave, since our businesses are doing just fine in this country. Angry On the other hand, Miliband does deserve credit for his continued support of the G20's efforts in London, which secured $1 trillion in economy-boosting moolah. Huzzah!
     
    David Bellamy is understandably outraged by the dumping of raw sewage and used condoms in Loch Lomond, not far from Sir Alex Ferguson's lodge (Sick horrific). This was due to "temporary problems" with the sewage system at a nearby resort - a problem which had lasted 18 months.
    On a wider front, Bellamy continued his sceptical outlook on global warming - see the video. George Monbiot of the Guardian has extended their war of words with a selection of viciously penned articles on the 'bearded bungler'. So to conclude, we have an argument between a cracked naturalist and a childishly vitriolic journalist. All we need now is Harry Hill... FIGHT!!!
    Bellamy also mourned the loss of Britain's butterflies due to native weather, recalling in his youth the "great, flitting clouds of Red Admirals, Small Tortoiseshells and Painted Ladies..." But the UK Butterfly Monitoring Scheme is blaming the extreme weather conditions of the past two years for the decline of our fluttering friends. But surely that more evidence of global... oh never mind Mr Bellamy.
     
    David N'Gog, true to my predictions, has started to feature more regularly in Liverpool's critical games. He made his first league start in February against Portsmouth, and scored a critical goal against Sunderland in Liverpool's 2-0 win at Anfield, tucking coolly past Craig Gordon. He also scored a glancing header against Blackburn this very weekend, which wrapped things up neatly.
     
    David Dickinson has confirmed 2009 venues for filming the latest series of groundbreaking series Dickinson's Real Deal. Tickets are predicted to sell faster than the Jacko boy's O2 concert, so get to Dickinson's website now!
     
    David Bowie has been doing a competition on his  website, for signed copies of his 1974 single Rebel Rebel.  You can't buy them from Woolworth's anymore, remember.
     
    Thats the lot for now.
