Why I am ashamed to be Britsh right now
I have always been proud to be British and have always been proud of its history. I found myself today feeling ashamed of how our Prime minister (Gordon Brown) has acted on the British workmen that have been Kidnapped for over a year.
I feel the only reason out Prime minister has now acknoleged that they have been kidnapped is because a newspaper got their hands on a new video. Before this we have seen nothing in the news and no commitment from our own Prime minister about his own people.
I know these men took some risks when working in Iraq, but they still deserved the respect of acknolegment from their country.
Why has he waited a year before doing anything? Why does it take publicity to get his ass moving?
These men have been missing for a year! Their families have been told to keep quite about everything and just wait… Wait for what? Wait for their heads to be delivered to their doorstep?
I know publicly acknowledging this would give the kidnappers more power… But they will get that anyway! You cant just leave people to fend for themselves at risk of having their heads carved off!
We need to grow some balls and let our countries heroes know that when they get into any trouble their own country will stand by them! And out Prime minister Gordon Brown needs to grow some Scottish balls!

Subscribe to the comments for this postShould the media be able to ruin peoples lives?
I have been on the blunt end of the media a few times in the last few years, and have seen the damage they can do. I was just reading about Robert Murat who was accused of kidnapping Madeleine McCann. He had his life ruined by the media and they never had a shred of evidence to back anything up. They tore into this mans personal life and made him guilty till proven innocent.
Is this the day and age we live in now? A world run my the media? They have the power to turn anything into a witch hunt without anything to stop them. Do we all really believe in everything we are spoonfead these days? Is it true if we read it in the papers or see it on TV?
When I have dealt with the media in the past they always give me the line “We have a right to report the news” and “We are just doing our job”.
This is what Waffen-SS said when they murdered millions of Innocent people. I know they are not murdering people, but they do put peoples lives at risk with the words that they use. They have no laws and only care about the story and not what happens after.
Robert Murat life has been destroyed at the hands of just a few people… But millions of people read these stories and made this innocent man go into hiding. He has just won £600K from the newspapers which I hope can do some healing to his life. But will this money give him back the time he lost? Will it heal any emotional damage it has caused him and the people around him? No. We also need to think about how much they made from ruining this mans life, and how much have they made from all the other peoples lives they ruin everyday?
It makes me sick when I see these newspapers and magazines on the shelves which sole purpose is to make people feel bad. You just have to walk into a newspaper shop to see “Britney gets a big bum!” or “Winehouse punches a man in the face”!
These are the types of stories that hit the front page! We have our own men and women dying in unjust wars, people starving to death, and children being murdered on our own streets! BAre we are now conditioned to care more about someones sweat patches at the Oscars then anything that effects us in real life?
It really upsets me to see how much control the media have over us now. They distate what we think and what we know… We really are living in George Orwel’s vision of Big Brother now.

Entrecard loves SezWho! Kissy kissy
The moment every Entrecard Community member has been waiting for! The news is out, the papers are rolling, and yes… Entrecard and SezWho are now officially a item.
I have been testing this new system for a while and have to say that these two individuals could not be better suited! The big problem that most people found through Entrecard was that people just powerdropped for 
credits. Well now this problems may be fixed. You can now get credits from commenting on blog posts!
I know a lot of people will moan about spam… But no need to worry because the Great King Graham has the answers that everyone wants! You can MOD your comments and stop these people from getting their filthy hands on the credits.
I hope this marrige lasts, and I hope everyone can join me in wishing these two a happy life together.
Getting started
The cool thing about this partnership is that we have a big range of blogging software to use! Not only that you have some Forum software with phpBB! I am not 100% sure but I think you may be able to get Credits through making forum posts on phpBB forums.
So make sure you get installing SezWho as soon as you can! The more of us that use it the more credits we get to use!
I have also been in touch with SezWho developers and asked if we will be able to use our 125×125 images for our comments! I was told if it is possible it will be out in a few months (Or weeks).

Back to basics
I have been worrying about a lot of unimportant things the past few months… Maybe I have been doing this to take my mind of the things I should be thinking about, or maybe its just me getting used to the situation.
I have decided to go and do some homework and start a new chapter in my blog. I am going to try to reverse the tables on some people and organizations that are intent on destroying fathers and myself. Maybe this is just another way of taking my mind of my children and my ex… But I need to do something and why not do something useful for a change.
I have been talking to a lot of old friends the past few weeks and spent a lot of time debating changes in public opinions of fathers and what could be done to change them… I have also been doing some legal work for some friends and am in court the next few weeks for myself and some other people.
I hope to get back to my old fighting self and forget about all this stupid agro that some unimportant people have created for me…
So from next week expect the old 2007 version of Lee Doyle and expect some angry comments to start coming my way again.
P.s.
I will be very busy this week and the next. So please only email me if you need too! If you need help please use other contacts.

The Entrecard Conspiracy (The EC-Files)
If your a blogger I am sure you have seen the posts floating around about my so called power trip and all these things I am meant to have done. I have so much going on in the real world that most of it has not affected me whatsoever… But some has as it has been made personal.
I will try to explain some things that happened that I believe have been misunderstood or people have got completely wrong. I would also like to use this post to say sorry to a few people.
- I never banned any forum poster.
- I moved and deleted posts that broke rules.
I believe I was in a no-win situation. If I left these posts open I would be seen as a bad MOD not doing my job, if I closed them I would offend people who wanted the posts open. I decided to look after the easy going forum posters who did not want to see aggressive posts on the forum.
A lot of people will have you believe once the Firestorm forum was open they were happy and never bothered anyone as they had their own sandpit to do what they liked in… This was not the case as they continued to post “Recruitment” style posts and would ruin perfectly good posts on the normal forum to a point no one would post there.
From here on, I want to build bridges.
I will take more advice from MOD’s and Admins from now on. I will try to think about things before acting on them, and take more time to stop this from happening again. I do accept some blame for this situation, I was new and have never modded a forum for bloggers before.
i would also like to say a big Sorry to Stan from Razzball as I never gave him credit which he deserved for coming up the consept for u drop I follow. Sorry for not doing this sooner, and sorry if I have caused any bad blood between us. Here is a link to the original post

The Evolution of Entrecard - Is it a bad thing?
I have not been with Entrecard since the start but I have been there a long time and would call my self a regular user. As you may have read I have been having some issues with Entrecard and how it has evolved. This week we saw some new features come to light, a lot of them people have been asking for for some time:
(More info here)
-
ADD MULTIPLE BLOGS TO YOUR ACCOUNT
-
ENTRECARD OFFICIAL E-BOOK
Download PDF Now
-
MULTI BLOG CONTEST - WIN 15,000 CREDITS!
-
NEW HOMEPAGE
-
NEW CAMPAIGN PAGE TABS
-
TOP DROPPERS RSS FEED
As you can see the EC Admin has been a very busy man and has done some amazing work!
But my question is: Is Entrecard evolving to fast?
I sometimes believe some things in life are meant to be simple and when you go and add loads of things it breaks… People get too much of a good thing and get sick of the taste.
Look at Google and how simple it is compared to Yahoo! and MSN. Just the basics and it works! Yahoo! has everything you could ever need but it is crammed in your face with all the bells and whistles jumping out at you… Google does have tons of features but they are never overdone and they keep to basics.
I think this “Add more blogs” is a bad idea. They are pushing this with the contest so more people will sign up… But this will then cause a lot of spam sites popping up and more credits in the economy… Will these credits just be given for adverts? I don’t think so… You will get farms pop-up as now it is more easy to drop… and be DROPPED ON.
I know this feature has been asked for a million times on the forums and it has been needed….
Maybe this is just me getting old and moaning about change… if it is then just move on… But if this is overdoing it with Entrecard then it could be the tipping point for some people.

Final Fantasy VII: Remake?
** SPOILERS WARNING **
Maybe this is old news to everyone and I have heard the rumours for many many years now. The reason I make this post is because I just completed Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core and stuck with it till the end of the credits. At the end you see Cloud and Aerith in what is a semi remake of the Final Fantasy 7 intro. The intro has Cloud saying “I am Cloud, SOLDIER First class”.
Another reason I think there may be a remake is there was so many unanswered questions. There was a unknown 4 year gap in which a lot could have happened. There were people who had unfinished tales (Maybe it was just me not fully completing the game though) and most of all, Millions of fans want it done!
I know it would be the sole selling point for me buying a PlayStation 3 as no other games have the pulling power of the Final Fantasy Series for me and many other OLD gamers. They also have many die hard fans who have grown up and have stopped playing 90% of the games that we used to play. The only games that have any selling power for me now are Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid games., I do enjoy the GTA and a few other big names… But they would not have my buy a console just to play them.
My Brother owns a Xbox 360 and most the time it is just sat idle doing nothing. The only time he ever plays it is when a new game comes out and then it lasts a week or two till he gets bored… Which is why I think the 360 has failed… It has no other uses unlike the PS3 which has the Blue Ray player.
But anyway, does anyone have any confirmation of Final Fantasy 7/VII remake? And if so… Will it be an exact remake or a whole new side to the stories we may have missed.
