I took a few screen shots from an App I have on my iPhone called Plane Finder. Basically what it is doing is tracking flights over the UK and some parts of Europe. What’s interesting is watching what was going on at different points but the most interesting is what happened when the Air Space over the UK was meant to be closed. So how come some flights are flying and if they have a magic trick aka fly higher or lower why are all airlines not allowed to do that. No idea, all I know is I am glad I never went away this Easter.

I threatened to do it on Twitter and here it is, my review of why you should be watching Glee.

I will start by saying it has already won a Golden Globe for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy so it’s not going to be totally crap however I know some people are turned off by the adverts for the show, no it’s not High School the Musical, it’s a little bit more grown up in an immature kind of way… Actually think about it as HSM meets Nip and Tuck (cause one of the guys behind Glee also done Nip and Tuck).

What is Glee

It’s basically a comedy that follows a Glee club at an American school, only this is an even bigger set of misfits and losers than most would normally have, so I am led to believe. The cool guy quarter back (Finn) is blackmailed into joining and as each week passes things get a little darker, the whole show is very non-PC.

If you are not laughing your arse off at Sue the cheerleaders coach and how Sue sees it then I am sorry for wasting your time. And when the football team is doing the Single Ladies Dance if your not laughing as well as cringing just a little then I am afraid there is no hope for you, why not turn on the News channel you boring old fart

Glee “Single Ladies” Football Team Dance

And let’s not forget about Rachel the lead singer in the Glee club, she kind of reminds me of one of my friends, not saying who but if you know her, you will know what I mean in a nice way of course It will be no surprise that the girl who plays the part has been on a few Broadway shows, in fact I was thinking she would be great in Les Misérables due to her version of “On My Own” and turns out she played a Young Cosette when she was 9 on Broadway and also played Eponine at the Hollywood Bowl production of Les Mis, so there you go.

Don’t Stop Believin’ is probally how most people who have not actually seen Glee know the show, it was no.2 the UK charts, not bad for a TV show cover.

The Cast

Lots of main roles in the Glee TV Show, stand out for me, for the guys it’s Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith), Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison) and Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer). For the girls it’s Rachel Berry (Lea Michele), Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron), Emma Pillsbury (Jayma Mays) and Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch).

Guys Will Like Just as Much as Girls

Now guys I know what you’re thinking, musical comedy is not something you would enjoy, in fact some of you might even question your ‘manly ways’ should you ever be caught watching one. Well let me put your fears to rest with this little clip of Quinn Fabray (played by Dianna Agron) she is the head high school cheerleader and head of the celibacy club (who is up the duff) and this is her addition for the Glee Club .

Believe me after seeing that I was saying a little prayer

By doing this blog post I have become a Gleek! (Glee Geek) How very sad but hey, it’s a show worth watching and if enough people do it should carry on a few seasons for sure.

If you’re looking for a new home and the wife is busy working out if the local schools are good, if the shape and sizes of the house suits and your thinking “screw all that will I be able to get fast broadband access” then I have found the site for you. Sam Knows is a site I used for some time but I never noticed it had a Broadband Map of the UK. But not only that the Broadband Mapping is set up on Google Maps so what you actually get is a rather cool way to work out if your house will approximately work with what speeds of broadband and if you can get access to Cable Broadband also.

Check out the Broadband Mapping on Sam Knows.
