Evening Bloggers,
Today is the final day of the month of April and it has been reported by the Met Office aka (also known as) The Meterological Office as the wettest month for 100 years. Some 121.8mm of rain has fallen, beating the previous record of 120.3mm which was set in 2000. However, despite the heavy rain, swathes of England are still in drought, with
warnings that the downpours were not enough to counteract the effects of
two unusually dry winters. However, it is very moist out there!
I am very interested in meterology. My favourite BBC aka (also known as) British Broadcasting Corporation weather presenter is Derek Brockway (born October 1967) for very informative weather overviews and friendly demeanor. However, my favourite ITV weather presenter is the glorious Sian Lloyd (born July 1958), she's like a ray of sunshine on rainy day and brings front into my life, if you know what I mean. Contrasingly, Alex Deakin aka a(lso known as Alexander Roy Deakin) of BBC aka (also known as) British Broadcasting Corporation is not the best. I find that his presenting style is rather immature and juvenile. He seems to lack understanding of some important meterological terms. For example, he called a "Gale Force" wind a "Hail Force" wind. Crossed wires there, if I am to give my opinion.
Bloggers, get your ponchos prepared, umbrellas unwrapped and your coats unfurled.
Kindest regards,
Melvyn P. O'Shea

100 years
Evening bloggers
I would firstly like to take this opportunity to apologise to the Melvyn's Realm community for my absence. I'm afraid I have been very busy of late. I hope that everyone has had a very splendid Easter. I had a glorious time, stuffing my face with many an Easter egg and of course, remembering the time where our Lord Jesus Christ God in Heaven was crucified and arose from the dead.
However, today marks another very important anniversary. On the 15th April 1912, the RMS aka (also known as) Royal Mail Ship Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. The RMS aka (also known as) Royal Mail Ship Titanic was a magnificently designed ship, which was built of the finest materials and technology of the time. It was very unfortunate that the RMS aka (also known as) Royal Mail Ship Titanic had a lack of lifeboats on board resulting in a large number of people lost at sea or even worse.
In homage to this tragic event, my mother, Aunt Helen and myself watched Titanic the movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Although, the plot is predictable, it is a very moving account and I award this wonderful film 4 Melvyn stars out of 5. My mother has also kindly purchased me a Titanic 100 year anniversary memorial collectible coin from the Royal Mint. I have provided a handy hyperlink to the website below.

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.

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
