Word of the Day

Salutations bloggers

I thought I would do a very quick update for you all at the Melvyn's Realm community. I would bring you today's word of the day:

"Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia"

Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of long words!

"Maggie Thatcher, trophy snatcher"

Hello bloggers, it's been a while.

Melvyn, here, the primeminister of Melvyn's Realm.

Speaking of primeministers, you may have read my recent blog entitled "The Iron Lady". Well, last night at the British Academy Film Awards aka (also known as) the BAFTAs, Mary Louise "Meryl" Streep (born June 22, 1949) won a very prestigious award for best actress for her role as Margaret Hilda Thatcher aka (also known as) Baroness Thatcher aka (also known as) Maggie Thatcher (born 13 October 1925) in "The Iron Lady". The 62 year old lost her little black stiletto on her way to the stage and struggled to keep her composure. However, Colin Firth star of "The King's Speech" (see previous blog) came to the rescue. He withdrew the stiletto from the depths of the stairwell and carefully placed upon her foot. The very embarrassed Streep explained "That couldn't be worse". Streep then proceeded to make an acceptance speech whereby she thanked all of her production team and acknowledged her British extraction.

As I have mentioned previously, "The Iron Lady" is a truly splended interpretation of Margaret Hilda Thatcher aka (also known as) Baroness Thatcher aka (also known as) Maggie Thatcher (born 13 October 1925) life. A magnificent performance from Streep. Congratulations, Meryl.

Kindest regards,

Internet Service Providers (ISP for short)

Evening Bloggers!

The upmost of sincere apologies to you all bloggers. I am afraid I have let the Melvyn's Realm Community down as I have been unable to 'blog' as frequently recently due to Internet Service Providers (ISP for short) technical difficulties.

An Internet Service Provider (ISP for short) is a company which provides a connection to the internet aka (also known as) the World Wide Web aka (also known as) WWW aka (also known as) the net. Unfourtunately, the Internet Service Provider (ISP for short) responsible for my internet serivice has NOT been working sufficiently. I am NOT a technological expert despite my love of technology, from my extenisve research and from what I understand there has been a problem with the 'exchange'. The very kind gentlemen of Indian extraction assured me that the internet aka (also known as) the World Wide Web aka (also known as) WWW aka (also known as) the net will be functioning to its fullest potential very soon.

I must keep this post short as its very near my bedtime.

Kindest Regards

Space Vs. (versus) The Sea

Bloggers,

Did you know that more is known about space than our very own oceans, seas, lakes, rivers and ponds? I simply just cannot contemplate how much information there is to learn about our underwater world.

Please bloggers (especially those who are of the hydrophiliac nature), feel free to share your depth of understanding on this matter. We, the Melvyn's Realm community, can build our very own ocean of knowledge together!

Kindest regards,
Melvyn P. O'Shea

The Iron Lady

Evening bloggers!

Today my mother, Aunt Helen and myself went to see 'The Iron Lady' (directed by Phyllida Lloyd). The film talks about Margaret Hilda Thatcher LG OM PC FRC aka (also known as) Baroness Thatcher  aka (also known as) Maggie Thatcher born 1(3 October 1925), for those international readers who may by unfamiliar with Margaret Hilda Thatcher LG OM PC FRC aka (also known as) Baroness Thatcher  aka (also known as) Maggie Thatcher born (13 October 1925) she was a British Politician who served as Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990.
Back to the film, Margaret Hilda Thatcher LG OM PC FRC aka (also known as) Baroness Thatcher  aka (also known as) Maggie Thatcher (born 13 October 1925) was played by none other than Mary Louise "Meryl" Streep  (born June 22 1949) she depicted Margaret Hilda Thatcher LG OM PC FRC aka (also known as) Baroness Thatcher  aka (also known as) Maggie Thatcher (born 13 October 1925) character most gloriously exposing not just her hard exterior but also the mother inside her. Meryl - a glorious performance. From start to finish my mother, Aunt Helen and myself were truly gripped and captivated apart from when we were filling our throats with popcorn!

I would like to rate this film 4 Melvyn stars out of 5 (Dorothy isn't here at the moment to do the stars).

Fellow bloggers, my mother, Aunt Helen and myself urge you to watch this spectacular film. If you have already watched I would thoroughly enjoy hearing your thoughts and opinions.

Kindest Regards

End of the Season - Here's to 2012

Evening bloggers!

Today marks the twelfth day to the 'post-Christmas' season and therefore marks the end of the Chrsitmas festivities. Hence, the decorations have been brought down. As the old O'Shea family saying goes "12 days after, avoids disaster". My mother, Aunt Helen, Emmanuelle and myself 'dechristmasfied' the abode.

Emmanuelle's duty was to remove all tinsel from the tree and place it neatly into the storage box, whilst my mother, took down the colourful Christmas lights and baubles and placed them into Father Christmas' furry fluffy festive sack, Aunt Helen kindly disposed of the tree. However she didn't just throw it away, oh no, she took it to the local recycling facility, as for myself, my role in this operation was to neatly stow away the christmas cards and the nativity ready for the next advent season.

I am very disheartened to the end of the yuletide. However easter is just around the corner, meaning more glorious celebrations and the visiting of the easter bunny.

Kindest Regards

Robert James Gilbert Anderson aka (also known as) Bob Anderson RIP (rest in peace)

Bloggers,

I have some terrible and sombre news to break to you this evening. It has come to my attention that the great Robert James Gilbert Anderson aka (also known as) Bob Anderson has sadly passed away. For those of you who are not aware of Robert James Gilbert Anderson aka (also known as) Bob Anderson, he was a magnificent olympic fencing champion, who was most notably known for his role as Darth Vader's stunt double in The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983) aka (also known as) two of the original Star Wars films. I love Star Wars and always dreamed of flying the Milennium Falcon just like Han Solo.

Kindest regards,
Melvyn P. O'Shea
