Anyone who regularly visits this site will remember Dave from his posts on here and the debates about the Lisbon Treaty. He will be running for the local elections in June and has posted an excellent guide to registering to vote on his blog.

I hear a lot of people complaining about a lot of things these days, but so many don’t vote. If you don’t agree with how things are being run then get registered and vote for what you believe in. Don’t just complain about it.

Exactly one year after his death Heath Ledger received his 2nd Oscar nomination. Having Lost out for Brokeback Mountain in 2006, he’s the favourite to win Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of The Joker in The Dark Knight. Despite the other surprises in this years list, I find it hard to look past the significance of this moment.

On January 22nd 2008 Heath Ledger died. The Oscar nominations were announced that day. Every year the Academy announces it’s nominations on a Tuesday, but the inauguration of Barrack Obama meant the announcement got pushed to a Thursday this year. January 22nd 2009.
