No. Lost is on.
No, the new 'Lewis' is on, and what can one say about a manic-depressive (sorry, 'bipolar disordered') doing away with themselves? I'm not sure I wouldn't have done, too, if I'd been married to that Fruit Loop slut Courtney Love.

Watched it and thought was quite good. Interesting to hear about his childhood, the influence of this grandfather, meeting his first girlfriend and the film trying to piece together this final days and hours. It would have been Kurt's 40th Birthday this week hence quite alot of renewed interest in his demise.
I cannot believe that chap who tried to sell Kurt's favourite chair received hate mail from Nirvana fans. He was bid about $17,000 on ebay but decided not to proceed just in case any of the death threats were serious.
Interesting TV.

I watched Conspiracy Files on BBC2. They did a good job of putting most theories to bed, but one which I had never heard of until last night was the fact that another building came down on September 11th. This was called Building 7, and was behind the world trade centres. No plane hit it, but there was footage of it coming down. The reporter said that the CIA & other U.S government officials worked from this building. There excuse was that rubble from the World Trade centres caused 'Building 7' to go down. I dont for one minute believe the U.S were involved in those attacks, but I believe they were covering something up. Wether or not it was related to 9/11 i doubt we will ever know.

I watched that one as well after Rough Diamond 
I heard at the time of 9/11 about Building 7 coming down but there was not, at the time, so much made about it as the building had been vacated so no loss of life hear. I wasn't aware, until last night that the government had rooms in this building.
That radio DJ, his name escapes me, has certainly drummed up some hysteria in the US with his various conspiracy theories. I was amazed that he hadn't been taken out, or at least taken off the air.
There was the interesting bit about the X Files where they had screened only 6 months previously, an episode called "The Lone Gunman" which was about hijackers flying planes into the same buildings BUT in the The X Files the fighter bombers managed to divert the crisis. There was a rumour that the writer of the X Files could therefore be involved although he was more concerned that the hijackers may have copied the X Files storyline.
The air traffic controllers didn't come out of the programme very well either as there was so much confusion on the morning of 9/11 due to a military role play exercise being acted out in the air (evidently) the same morning of 9/11 and it took a while to know if the planes that were reported as being hostile were actually part of the exercise. The fighter bombers assuming that any attacks would come in from "across the sea" then headed off (apparently) in completely the wrong direction.
There was also a consipracy theory about all the Jews being warned about the attack beforehand, which didn't hold much water with the sister of one of the Jewish men that died or the other 9% of the total which would have been approximately the right figure - in percentage terms, evidently.

For those of you who love a good conspiracy theory "How Did David Kelly Die?" is on BBC2 tonight. Not sure how biased it may be though.... :suspect:
