Isn't it a bit late for that

Dick Cheney, talking before yuesterday's inauguration of teh second term of warmongering from Washington

We don't want a war in the Middle East, if we can avoid it. And certainly in the case of the Iranian situation, I think everybody would be best suited by or best treated and dealt with if we could deal with it diplomatically,' Mr Cheney said in the interview, aired on MSNBC.

Excuse my ignorance, perhaps I've missed something but isn't there a war going on in Iraq.

Just because they call it an insurgence, doesn't change what it is

Waterstones sacks an employee for keeping a blog

Boo hiss evil bookselling bastards

Waterstones have sacked an employee for writing a blog. Presumably they thought his comments might reflect badly on them. Not anything like as badly as the effect of being seen to be against freedom of speech and expression. Boycott Waterstones for being absolute bastards

Wrote Gordon: 'I am not a serf; I am not an indentured servant. I am a free man with the right of freedom of expression. The company does not own me, body and soul - conforming to their rules at work is to be expected, but in your own time and space? How can anyone be expected to go through their personal life in fear of saying the wrong thing? No-one should.
'This has left me dreadfully upset. That a company I have given so many years to could treat me in such a brutal manner is despicable. That a book company thinks so little of the primacy of freedom of expression is alarming. I pointed out that Waterstone's has stated publicly several times in the past that as a bookseller they believe in the freedom of expression and not in censorship.'

Make love not war

Apparently the US Airforce contemplated developing chemical weapons that could turn straight men gay, undermining discipline in enemy forces as they all decided to bang each other's brains out.

Hmm t'would be interesting to imagine the photographs that ugly monkey woman, Lynndie England and her pals would have been taking at Abu Ghraib then

GCHQ Challenge

Ever fancied yourself as a spy or a codebreaker - why not try the GCHQ challenge

The Guardian's 50 must sees for spring

Doctor Who is at no 5. Quite right too - can't believe we still have to wait till March!

No mention though of the long awaited return of Kate Bush. So glad to see she's gonna give us some more. YOu only have to go to google news to see just how much excitement this is causing worldwide.

March is gonna be one hell of a month, the return of Kate Bush, the return of Doctor Who and also Tiger should be coming out.

Boy oh boy I'm too geeky for my own good

Small minded Christians!

So much for turning the other cheek, or love thy neighbour. A bunch of sad Christians want to sue the BBC for showing Jerry Springer the opera on Saturday.

To be honest, I don't really want to dignify the sad bastards with an advert, it's just I hate small-minded intolerant bigots who force their religious views on other people.

The long arm of the law

A 79 year old man has been arrested for the 1964 murders that inspired the film Mississippi burning

It's nice to see that people don't take pity on evil bastards just because they are old.

It doesn't matter whether a conviction happens in the end, nor indeed a custodial sentence, it's just the fact that justice is seen to catch up with these people that is important

Why does that not surprise me??

Kids discussing games from yesteryear

Very funny piece in which kids of today play with classic games from the eighties and give their thoughts on them. Some absolutely classic quotes

Bobby: I'm gonna eat your momma.
Anthony: If Mike Tyson was in this game, his special move would be to bite people's ears. Then he'd be all gloating about it, but then the sound's all low because you can't hear him because your ears are gone. [Points at the next opponent, Von Kaiser] That's Mike Tyson, and he's trying to bite off your ear.
Garret: That's not Mike Tyson. Are you kidding me? Mike Tyson does not have a handlebar moustache, and he's not white.

EGM: Do you feel like you're in the middle of the Star Wars universe right now?

Everybody: No.

Parker: It feels like we're in some barely 3D universe.

Bobby: Maybe it feels like we're in the Star Wars universe where you can't see that well.

The human clock

Is a webpage that shows the time of day using pictures with the time in them. Just the sort of thing I hope someone will do a Dashboard widget for when Tiger finally arrives (which will mean nothing to non-Macheads.

Happy New Year

Can you believe it's ten days into the new year and I'm only just getting round to my first post of 2005.

Well it's been a bit of a busy time for me what with my Dad being sick and all the manic rushing around one has to do over Christmas.

Sad to say, I can't claim to be glad to be back at work
