Two days on and we still have no idea who will be the in next government. Although the reporters keep saying coalitions are the norm for Europe, I can’t help feeling it’s a bit of a train wreck.

Anyway, to lighter matters: we were watching tv last night, going through all the channels, when Lyn and I stumbled upon something rather odd. It was called FOBO – Films of black Origin. It was showing some very strange stuff indeed. Not strange in terms of plot, but the shooting style was completely alien to me. You could tell that these films were made recently, but the films appeared to be made using cameras from the sixties or seventies. To eyes used to Hollywood, it was something totally foreign. Mind you, I let out a few rather guilty laughs: one film had a kid running around the jungle with a bloody great knife, winning a wrestling match and attempting to marry a girl twice his age. I hope the fact I found this funny doesn’t make me racist. Oh well, I suppose it broadened our horisons anyway.
