Is every second page advertising? That seems to be par for the course at the moment. I generally avoid magazines with America in the title. I don't really like to read the self congratulation that goes on in them. I prefer the UK magazines with the impartial reports of excellence in the UK.

It's legal, mostly because it's absurdly easy to create. However you require a permit to produce, own, store or dispose of Napalm and the permit requires criteria to be met. Unless you live in the US, that is. Technically the only law in the US that puts a bar in the way are the Environmental laws governing disposal, and that would be very hard to apply to an individual as it's designed for corporations.

You lie. That's why Santa just gave you a lump of coal this year.

My sister is off to a wedding tomorrow. The groom is a member of the Bomb Squad in Palestine. He must be a happy, well balanced chap. But, um, I'm pretty sure that there have been civilian casualtys before.

Yes, it really is him in the photo. He's pictured on an Aeroflot 747, heading out to Minsk. He's was posing as a travailing salesman in order to enter the Communist USSR, you see. YT was sent to hijack a stealth technology plane constructed by the Russians that was controlled directly via electrical impulses in the brain. And hilarity ensued. (Later made into a film starring Clint Eastwood, but without the comedic japery)

That's about the most direct way I can think of expressing to you that ignoring mistakes is a path to repeating them. That's the point of having history lessons at school.

Walls balls are the Devil.

I'll trade, but you'll have to complete suspiciously large amounts of documentation for varied people who are never really clear on it's purpose, before you are allowed the sleep option. I mean, what the heck is BS 7799 and why should I bother to check that we comply to it? Who tells me the I'm needed at an audit of all the business at the Xmas party the day before it's due to happen? I may well stay in Prague. That'll learn 'em.

Workin' an sleepin'. If I feel like it, I'll get on a plane and go to Prague. I keep meaning to go, and the flights are cheap. Also, must go skiing at some point.

Hmmm. Something's afoot poll wise. False modesty, poll edits and pony requests aside. I sniff the air of subterfuge is about. Subtle though it may be.

But people told me Thief 1 and 2 were fantastic. I played them, and honest to God, I thought I had died. All my body functions slowed down, my logic pathways ceased to process the information. I'm pretty certain a large chunk of my consciousness simply stopped functioning. If the cats hadn't jumped on me, I'd just have slipped away from the unending bordom into death.

We didn't give him weapons like the US. We sold them to him for a healthy profit. It's an interesting point, it was the UK that annexed Kuwait from Iraq as soon as we discovered oil. Suprisingly, Iraq invading Kuwait was actually a valid political decision to reclaim an arbitrarily annexed section of Iraq. But for the whole oil thing, it may have proceeded without mention.

Well, except for the fact he didn't have them anymore. Which was a bugger for the PR job. Perhaps with the plethora of US military hardware around they just kind of blended in.

I'm more interested to know what Saddam Hussain did to get the Silver Star and chemical WOMD given to him by the US. It's no real suprise that the US didn't trust the UN reports that there were no WOMD in Iraq considering the amount they gave.

Ohhhh, who's in the top spot? Who can post the most? Who will win, and who's spirit will be broken like a Frenchman's trade relations with the US? Gosh, it's all high octane excitement. Weeeeeeeeee

Nobody feels safer. Some people are happy becase other people have died. Some people don't feel enough people have died, and want more people dead. Some people don't want other people to die, but apparently they are just stoopid. And the world spins on.

It comes from the sound made in television adverts and programs made the 80's to indicate quality. When a particularly fine product would appear during the advertisement, the director would put a 'BLING' sound into the advert. This, presumably, was to indicate the arrival of quality. The same sound was used when the 'Handsome Roguish Doctor' tm smiled and showed his teeth, with a comedy sparkle on his perfect white teeth and a 'BLING' sound. This nonsensical use of a random sound effect just permeated culture, as comedians picked it up it just became a common term for quality. In the UK, it's the word 'Mint', as we were advertised products in 'mint condition' for so long the words became linked.

Er, 2007 or 2008 so don't hold out for an upgrade coming soon. Apparently there is a back market version of longhorn in Malaysia, but we are all fairly dubious as to it's origin or quality.

Flying cars, and silver jumpsuits with big shoulder pads.

I like to play all the films at the same time. The confused voices help to sooth the voices in my head.

GTN is glycerol trinitrate BTW. Obscure acronym.

1984, Animal Farm, Metropolis, Blade Runner and Clockwork Orange. The Matrix is a blip, a flash in the pan, a remade rehash of Dark City.

I used so much shaving foam once, it completely covered up my nose and mouth. I horsed around for a bit, with my foam beard and all I looked like santa, you see. But soon I realized I couldn't breathe. I blacked out for a while, after seeing stars. I only managed to survive by placing my head into the toilet bowl to wash off the excess foam. They found me there after a while, but I explained the incident away by explaining I liked the smell in the bowl. Lesson to learn there, I feel.

It is indeed Ivan "I only said I did it so they would stop making me eat my own poo" Dobsky.
