Horrifying...

A potent and wonderfully creative eco-message from WWF.

Over the years, WWF has come up with a series of very creative posters with very potent messages promoting environmental awareness. I thought this one was the very best I've seen.

View some of the many others at these sites:

Our earth is a truly beautiful place. It's our home. Let us all conserve it.

Into The Groove

A touch of nostalgia....I'm a great fan of music from the 80's and not surprisingly, one of my favourite songs, if not my favourite song ever, is Madonna's Into The Groove from 1985.



It was 25 years ago to the day in 1985, Madonna finally got her first UK No.1 Hit Single after coming very close with Like A Virgin (3), Material Girl (2) and Crazy For You (2). This opened the floodgates to 11 other No.1 hits that followed.

This song was featured in the movie Desperately Seeking Susan, a forgettable movie which starred Rosanna Arquette and of course Madonna herself. The hit music video consisted of footage from the movie itself.

I first heard this song when she performed it on Live Aid back in July 1985. I still remember staying up to catch her performance.


My very own Into The Groove single..




It's very catchy dance tune has endeared me over the years and this remains my very favourite till this day.
