Broadband in Every UK Home by 2012

That's what the government have announced. It's a bold ambition, but what wiil it bring us? Sure, we all like to be kept up-to-date about the world via the internet (as we are now!), but will it bring any other benefits? I think it will in ways that we probably can't imagine at the moment...watch this space.

Just to keep you all updated, I didn't get the job at Cadbury World. So it's back to the job hunt for me!!

The teasers for today: -

1. Singer Jody Watley, born today in 1959, was a member of which R&B group from 1977 - 1984?
   
2. Actor Christian Bale (right) was born today in 1974 and played magician Alfred Borden in which 2006 film directed by Christopher Nolan?
   
3. Which English leader was formally executed today in 1661, having been dead for two years?
   

Yesterday's Answers: 1. Oxford; 2. Mississippi (Kosciusko); 3. "I don't like Mondays"

Cadbury World - New Job??

Today I had an interview for a part-time job at Cadbury World. This was for one of the posts in customer service, showing people around and generally ensuring that they have a good time. I applied mainly because I need the income, I'm a 10 minute walk away and I consume rather too much of their products for my own good!

As an indication of the times we currently live in, apparently there were 500 applicants! We'll all find out in the next few days whether we've made the grade, but although I'd love to work at Cadbury World (and I thought my interview went well), I'm not holding my breath. I'll keep you posted!

So, today's questions are: -

1. Frank Miller, who was born today in 1957, wrote, co-produced and co-directed which 2005 film based on his graphic novel series of the same name?
   
   
2. How many Grand Slam singles titles were won by Marat Safin (right) who was born today in 1980 in Moscow?
   
   
3. Michael Jackson suffered second degree burns to his scalp while filming a commercial for which product today in 1984?
