I realise it's been a while since I've last posted on here and apologies if this topic had been raised, but I've been following snooker (as you do) and noticed there's an Iranian competing at professional level. He is the first person from Iran to compete professionally. So here introducing...

Is anyone aware of a new film coming out called Desert Dancer? It's apparently a true story about Afshin Ghaffarian, a dancer during the 2009 elections. Interesting concept, just wondered if any of you were aware of the film, or perhaps have more knowledge about Mr Ghaffarian...

Unfortunately, there is no film link to this but a really good piece here by ESPN. http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/worldcupcentral/id/745?cc=5739 Teymourian helping Iran break new boundaries Posted by John Duerden GettyImagesAndranik Teymourian of Iran celebrates qualifying for the FIFA World...

* When I say English Premier League, I actually mean 90% English and 10% Welsh. HA! Anyway, Saturday marks the new season and I'm pretty excited, not sure about you guys. This is a thread dedicated to your predictions for the forthcoming season - it will be an intriguing nine months, that's...

For those who don't know, I have a blog (The JSPrice Perception). Now, I have another blog which is dedicated to my awful predictions which I love making! I have "launched" it today and the leagues I will predict concern the top four English divisions (with THREE Welsh teams between them (there...

Kate Middleton (Duchess of Cambridge) has given birth to the third heir to the throne. It is a boy. The name is unknown as yet but the British media has gone royal baby-bonkers about it all. There is no escaping it in the UK. Is the news big in Iran, or are you a bit like the Welsh and don't...

One of my guilty pleasures is snobbery. I love it when people are completely out of touch as you can have great debates such as this one. This was from ITV's This Morning programme and they're discussing children's names. You have to see it and be in awe! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edZjdgU0asM

Australian politics is rarely discussed in the media - unless you're living in Australia, of course. However, yesterday, something unbelievable happened. Three months before the general elections, Prime Minister Julia Gillard lost the Labor leadership battle against her nemesis Kevin Rudd. He...

I'm a big fan of The Voice UK - the second series has only just finished and the two winners so far I have agreed with the general public (for a change!) - anyway, as much as I think it's a great concept and show, the aftermath is somewhat ghastly. Take a look at my view on the past two series...

This is the UK's Alex Jones... stunning, isn't she? Alex Jones is pretty popular in the UK and the TV show she presents "The One Show" is seen consistently by millions across the British Isles. She lacks controversy - when Bruce Willis went to the show and acted like an idiot, she was...

... Zahra Nemati! #congrats :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oL17KvGJIA&feature=youtu.be

Are you guys following it this year?? #backbonnie

Another Chelsea-related post but here we go... This Sunday as we all know is the last day of the Premier League season, or is it? As Chelsea and Arsenal have similar goal differences and goals, if they share points by Sunday evening, they may have to play a play-off, which will determine who...

I've only just discovered this phenomenon. The Guardian and The Daily Mail have covered a story in the last week about the winner and the fact that the Iranian government doesn't like her, or the show, or the channel - but three million people in Iran watched the final which seems pretty cool...

I found this rather intriguing. It is quite rare to hear a religious leader of any sort share their concern about other nation's pain or happiness. The Archbishop of Wales has recognised the poor treatment of Iranian exiles by some people in Iraq at Camp Liberty. Is the situation there as bad as...

Quite a big story here - the current state of the Cathocisism faith is in much debate so we wonder what will be in the next chapter of the religion. Pope Benedict is the first Pope to resign in 600 years so a historical day for the faith.

Not too sure if it's been a scandal elsewhere but UK, people have been up in arms about it. The story is escalating all the time - horse meat found in burgers, and most recently, pork found in halal meat. Here is the latest development...

The rugby union's Six Nations is just around the corner and Wales has picked a player whom I suspect is Iranian - correct me if I'm wrong. Navidi sounds like a Persian name so... Here are a few links about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Navidi https://twitter.com/Jnavidi...

A couple of weeks ago, a small town in Connecticut was shocked and saddened to see 20 children murdered in their school Sandy Hook. A man, Adam Lanza went loose in this school and murdered children and teachers, and then himself. It shocked the world and Barack Obama gave an emotional tribute to...

For those interested (probably not many) but my blog has been given a little facelift. Take a peep (although, it's usually me just rambling about how crap the UK government is. First world problems, aye?!) http://jspriceperception.blogspot.com/
