Jude Law is Dunhill Dapper

I think you ALL are starting to sound like rude, arrogant biotches! enough already!

To those who think her comments are “a breath of fresh air”, I suggest you go to the morgue or the sewer. You’d enjoy the air there. Daphne

That’s interesting, Daphne. Because I think just the same. I read an article about Khufu (Cheops) Pyramid, and why they did not finish making the grave for the Pharaoh, it was simply that the “tunnel” was too deep, and the digger was lack of air, and they could not breath anymore.

That’s what I feel when I read the comment from Jane B. She is not only arrogant, but also insulting, and know-it-all kind of person that she thinks she knows much about a person she doesn’t know at all. Is it not a contradiction, simply because she accused Sandy the same. May be a good idea if she is not only looking where she is going, but also having a bigger mirror at home. So she could see everything more clearly before she left her home.

Because for some points, Sandra T is correct. The Economic Situation in England is not that shiny like some years ago. Even Sir Peter Burt, a former governor and chief executive of the Bank of Scotland, warned that the credit crunch and the rise in fuel costs were worse than the crisis of the 1970s and urged the Bank of England to make it clear it would guarantee deposits to make it clear that it would prevent a bank failure. (According to The Independent News Paper, dated 26 of August 2008).

But, it is not about England Economy what we are talking about. It is about Jude. And we some certain degree of admiration towards him.
If we defend, talk trash or declare our “loves” to him, it is simply because he gave so much joy to our lives, or at least to mine.

Jane B said that 99% of all the comment, and she wrote that at # 51, it means 49,5 comments were nut. Which 0,5 comment is the normal one? Number 3, perhaps?

“Still a hot guy, but that is about all…. I don’t care that much for him anymore. (Good VIctoria)”. Then, it has to be : Still a hot guy, but that is about all…..OR ….I don’t care that much for him anymore.

Wow, Jude must have been very flattered with that kind of comment. Considered only as a hot guy, and nothing more. Or that people less care about him. Flattered indeed!

And if what Jane B said was not insulting or disparaging or derogatory, than I did not what to call it.

Please. Let’s honour Jude’s work with POD and just ignore the negative. I’m pretty sure he’ll never read this but I doubt he’d like to see his fans fight on message boards! It doesn’t matter anyway. The economy is bad everywhere and I suspect you have to know Jude to really understand him, regardless of your nationality.

I agree Jane b’s original comment was nasty and biting and it seemed she tried to back peddle her way out in later comments, HOWEVER….lets be fair now. If we are going to say SHE was rude, which she was, then we should point out all the rude derogatory comments made by other posters too. And NO I don’t say this to mean I think her comments are a breath of fresh air. I think that comment is ridiculous.
I happen to think Sandra T.’s comments were rude towards the English and derogatory in nature as well.
Why don’t people just take the higher road here? i agree with Allegra.

Own up……..which one of you did this,

In 1994, I saw keanu reeves In Hamlet. I flew to winnepeg from LA. Believeit or not he was great. I had serveral close encounters with him but I was too shy to speak. Winnepeg is a small city compared to London. But who knows maybe you’ll get a jude encounter. You can for sure can get an encounter and maybe autograph /picture at the backstage of the theatre before or after the the play. You’re going to love Hamlet its a great play. I am sure its going to be outstanding with Jude and Kenneth involved in the production. However make sure jude is performiong on the night you brought your ticket. I read there is a second English Actor performing too. I really envie all of you who going to see jude. Just can’t aford it!!

I inadvertently posted the second part before the first so here is the part that leads into Post #112.

Last year I became an ambassador for a non-political organisation whose chief aim is simply to promote one day a year of peace. Since the actor and film-maker Jeremy Gilley founded Peace One Day in 1999, the United Nations has unanimously agreed to designate every September 21 as Peace Day.

The idea of this day of global ceasefires and non-violence is gaining supporters all the time: in 2007, according to the UN, more than 100m people observed Peace Day in 192 countries.

Because of my own career in film, I’ve helped Jeremy make a documentary to raise awareness of Peace Day and all it represents. The heroes of this film, The Day After Peace, are the Afghans: by observing the ceasefire in their southern provinces last year, they enabled 1.4m children to be inoculated against polio that day. I have just visited Afghanistan for the second time — primarily to say thank you and give people a chance to see our film.

August 31, 2008, Delhi

I’m surprised that the queue for the Afghan air flight to Kabul is so normal. Two little Afghan boys are running around — I wonder how they feel about going home.

I can’t help wondering whether I should be a little more nervous. The plane’s clearly seen better days: I doubt anyone would want to blow it up but it could well fall out of the sky. As we approach it by bus, a man who’s with his two sons and wife, or mother — hard to tell as she’s wearing a full burqa — makes it plain he doesn’t like us taking photographs. No words are exchanged; there are just lots of meaningful looks from ice-blue eyes. An immediate reminder that we’re in new territory — and need to be cautious and respectful.

On the plane, it’s very hard to sleep. I’m thinking of the intensity of the work schedule ahead. And I know that however many gardens and safe houses we visit, we’ll be in a place of unpredictable, extreme violence.

Kabul, early afternoon

Driving through the streets with Jeremy Gilley and our two-man film crew — Dan and Rob — I register just how much larger the military presence is than last time I visited, a year ago. Machineguns everywhere. All the roadsides fortified with high concrete walls, topped with razor wire. And yet there’s the hustle and bustle of normal life: carts laden with produce, men on bicycles, young men selling cards on the street corners.

Since I was last here, things have got much worse. There’s been a rise in attacks, an increase in the number of insurgents — and more fatalities. There’s a palpable sense of tension.

Our first appointment is with Dr Mohamad Hanif Atmar, minister of education. When we met last year, he was very positive about using the Peace One Day education pack — with 17 lesson plans about peace — in all Afghan schools. This is yet to happen because it’s been a particularly terrible year for the schools — 600 closed after insurgent fires, many children and teachers killed, thousands of textbooks burnt. But there’s still hope, he says. We’re keen that he shows our documentary — The Day After Peace — to as many schools as possible. He agrees. He’s a very charismatic man, with an Alan Rickman air about him. Gives me an Afghan prayer painting and cloak, to “Afghanise” me, as he puts it.

On to Tolo TV, which has 40% of network viewing. With the rise in suicide bombings, everyone now stays in to watch television. Tolo is run by an Afghan-Australian family of three brothers and their sister from a series of town houses. Their main “studio” is an old front room lined with egg cartons for soundproofing. The need for positive news is great, so we give them our film, which they’ll dub into Dari and Pashto.

My own feeling is that the Afghans are incredibly resilient people — and we owe them so much, having helped to put them in their current situation. Before going to Afghanistan the first time, all I’d read about was the frontline, the numbers of western soldiers lost and the elements of society that were destructive or extremist. Yet I saw so much more — a lot of reconstruction and many reasons for hope, despite three generations of conflict.

Have dinner at Fatima Gailani’s house, the international spokeswoman for the Red Crescent, who played a huge part in last year’s Peace Day. We eat wonderfully, with traditional dancers and musicians entertaining us.

Fatima says she was minutes away from two of the most recent suicide bombs, and yet didn’t feel scared. It dawns on me that I haven’t felt any fear either since coming back. You can’t be scared, because then the opposition is winning. How dare anyone stop people seeing all of our planet, hearing all its sounds, tasting all its foods, learning from eye contact and conversation that we’re all alike?

Sitting on Fatima’s lawn, eating figs, listening to music under the stars, I get a sense of what life must have been like 30 years ago: intelligent conversat

That diary is so touching! So beautifully expressed. It brings to light the writer that’s in him.
