Mission Impossible


I didn't really know anything about Katie Holmes until the last couple of days - but I gather she is about to become yet another ex-Mrs Tom Cruise.

Now if the tabloid newspapers are to be beleived the reason that Katie Holmes is seeking a divorce is to protect her young daughter - Suri - from her father's religious beliefs.

Because Mr Tom Cruise is one of the best known followers of the rather wacky Church of Scientology - another being John Tavolta if I remember my western cults correctly.

But what puzzles me is that Ms Holmes must have known that Tom Cruise was a bit of a nut job - in terms of his religious beliefs - when she started dating the legendary American film star.

I wonder what attracted Katie to him - apart from his squillions of dollars and glamorous Holywood lifestyle, of course?

More to the point why would an intelligent young woman have a child with such a man - without thinking through the consequences.

Lots of Americans have crazy religious views - the Republican party's next presidential candidate (Mitt Romney) is a Mormon - for goodness sake.

And you don't get much wackier than that - except possibly for all the Christian fundamentalists who believe that the Bible is the literal word of God.

Heaven help us.

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
