Another era has come to an end. Housemate Mikey left yesterday for his new life in Leeds. He is at the University to do his Msc in Geology with a view to doing his PhD.
Good luck, you have worked hard for this. Now, get out there and make us all proud!
Today Britain pays back the last instalment of the loan taken out during the War. £43 million to the Septics and £12 million to the Canadians.
At last!
Now perhaps the Yanks will stop going on about how they ‘helped us out’ and basically won the War.
Tossers.
Maybe we can start saying ‘No’ to them. Pull our troops out of ‘their’ war and sit back and watch The Fall Of The American Empire.
That will give me great pleasure.
As I have said before, most of them have absolutely no idea of how much they are hated throughout Europe as well as the Arab world.
A nation that managed to elect the village idiot to the Presidency and still expects to be taken seriously.
They worry about Iran having nuclear weapons, I worry about them having ANY kind of weapon with that prick in charge.
The ‘No Shit?’ award goes to Mr Brian Witcombe a consultant radiologist at The Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.
According to him, sword swallowers are prone to sore throats.
You think?!
I wonder how long it took for him to come up with that.
This was actually published in a medical journal. No doubt he got some sort of funding for that fucking gem.
The NHS is haemorrhaging cash left, right and centre and this genius spends time coming up with that.
Brilliant.
Apparently, Saddam is going to be executed tomorrow while other Muslims take part in the Hajj. I’m going to be keeping my fingers crossed, hoping that it all doesn’t kick off because if it does, we’re fucked my friends.

Well, since the US has had a small windfall, perhaps she could pay back some of the $4 billion she owes Canada over the Softwood lumber dispute
where the US imposed an illegal import tax and was found to be at fault. The money is still owed.
If the American Empire did in fact fall, then so would the rest of the western world, it would be like a gas giant collapsing and would leave a black hole into which we would all be sucked.
I know some people might think that if we were all economically worse off then the planet might be saved, but the more likely scenario would be that some other power would fill in that gap. The worst possible candidate would be the oil rich but politico-socially backward Arab nations. The best possible (for us and our egalitarian ideals) candidate would be the United Germany which now has the second strongest industrial output on the planet.
Although Germany now shares our ideals and this is why I put it forward as the best scenario, what a bitter irony that would be for those who fought against their earlier megalomania.
Interestingly, the foremost reason given for the rise of Hitler when I was at school, was the over-zealous reparations imposed upon Germany by the US after the First World War.
On a more personal note, I have some very dear friends in the States, some of whom didn't vote for Bush and who have suffered under his domestic policies because of lifestyle choices.
In one of Bush's speech fuck up's of the year he said...
"The point now is how do we work together to achieve important goals. And one such goal is a democracy in Germany"
Nice to see he is up on his European politics.
I don't think we will all be knackered when the Septics fall. It won't be sudden, it's a gradual decline. A United Europe would be strong enough to counter the 'black hole' but a United Europe ain't going to let the German's be in charge of anything!.
The reparations imposed on Germany were more about punishment than anything else, and yes, they were ONE of the reasons for Hitler's rise.Their inherent racism also helped.
If you are 'suffering' in a country, you fucking get out! Simple as that. If you can't get out, Contact Amnesty!
When Bush starts putting American Homosexuals to death I might have a little more sympathy!
