"Bad people have celebrations too" - Gen. Mark Kimmitt

Yeah, remember Thatcher saying "Just rejoice."

Remember that big party in Abu Graibh.

Every time the US massacres innocent people around the world, doltish couch potatoes around the world celebrate.

for how to drive bureacrats to extinction

With every damn letter that Brent Council sends to Herald House, they include a set of brochures that probably cost about £2.50 to produce. The most boring bureacratic piffle is accompanied by these weighty tautologies. It's bad enough having to recycle their blasted rubbish for them, but they have the effrontery to conduct this arrant wastage in the process of demanding more and more money from us. Who will rid us of these doltish parasites?

Don't miss this, if you can stand a little New York apartment envy. Interesting observation about the Diamond Sutra too, apparently printed in China 600 years before Gutenberg's Bible.

The US military claimed in the note that Dr Izmerly, a distinguished chemistry professor arrested after US tanks encircled his villa, had died of "brainstem compression"

When democrats attack, "at least there's always an investigation."

SORRY!

WE WERE HOAXED

We apologize to our readers for publishing a picture of Bush and Blair on location for their new movie, a remake of Midnight Express. We were the victims of a malicious satirist.

Effective forthwith, I have decided to strip Feargal Mooney of his title "Acting Editor." From now on he will have to take his chances as a freelance.

I will come out of retirement temporarily, till a replacement can be found.

Red Woodward

Then again some of these "War War War" pictures can be quite "Educational Educational Educational," don't you think? To be fair to the government, they did promise before the last election that their three priorities would be "Education, Education & Education," and it must be triply educational for our children to see the pictures from Iraq all over the TV, the Internet and the Newspapers. They might as well learn about the sadistic and perverted world that we have prepared for them, all about the depths of human degradation, and thirdly about impunity and self-satisfaction. A cabinet insider told me as much, off the record, and she added that our small children have to learn to deal with all of these issues - instead of just pfaffing around building sandcastles and so on - if the rate of increase in the suicide rate is to be reduced "in real terms." (Note to myself: Margaret can sound quite plausible at times.) Ed

Leisure Connection Watch

Leisure Connection have contracts from Brent Council to run Vale Farm and Willesden Sports Centre. I know they do a poor job at Vale Farm and at Leisure Connection Watch you will find details of sad stories in other boroughs.

First review

A review of The London Silence by Stephen Moran :: The Compulsive Reader :: A Haven for Book Lovers



Interesting to hear from somebody who just sees it as a book, and has no connection with me. I've never thought of the book in the way that Bob Williams describes it, but his comments are fair enough. I would argue that Joseph is more than a loser (if I could think of anything to back that up.) Perhaps this will spur me to write a sequel.
