HEMP ON THE BEEB

BBC TWO will feature hemp tomorrow and Friday, 20/21 December on the Working Lunch Programme, 12:30 or 1 pm.

HFV wants to give a welcome to the new kid on the block in terms of blogs, and that is http://www.jessthekid.blogspot.com/. this is run by a 9-year-old girl who is making fun of the press!

Her tone is that of a St Trinian's girl with a brain, and speaking of that venerable institution of higher learning, check out the new St Trinian's movie, out this Friday (21/12). Colin Firth, who owns the soon to be opened Eco Shop in London, is playing the Education Minister in it. His last film, "When was the last time you saw your Father", includes Bobby Pugh of The Hemp Shop playing a cameo role.
