This is rather good

It's well informed, erudite and importantly has saved me the trouble of trying to write it myself. Read Arthur Sibler on the capture of Saddam and right wing rhetoric.

Look mum, no wires!

This post is coming to you without wires. Well, actually there's a whole pile of wires involved, but they're all buried under the bed. This laptop is wireless though, and that's pretty cool.

Even cooler is the fact that it really was plug and play. I clicked through a few dialog boxes but that was it. Now though I think I've got to go through some security stuff, but that's it.

The end of all things

Empires have fallen. Heroes who had overcome enormous odds and cheated death a thousand times have passed away and left no record of their ever having existed. Doncaster Rovers 2006 premiership championship is no more.

I have deleted all my computer games.

The unreported resistance

To read the Iraqi Blogs at the moment you'd think there was some kind of surge in the Iraqi resistance going on. Reports of heavy bombing, more explosions than anyone remembers for months, and rumours that the resistance are deploying an anti-aircraft gun. Meanwhile nothing is reported.

Some of you doubtless think this is a conspiracy theory and that if there was anything to this the news would pick it up. Sadly tis not the case. In the UK dozens of bombings and shootings in Ireland went unreported throughout the troubles, it just wasn't news anymore. When I holidayed in Ireland I was amazed at how routine reports of murders and shootings had become on the local news - and how none of them ever made it to the broadcasts of the mainland BBC.

Its been a while

It's tempting to say normal service is resumed. However I'm trying to work out something to do with this blog that will lead to writing more frequently and better. Till then here come a few posts.

SPIDERMAN IS HAVING ME FOR DINNER TONIGHT

Bloggage will resume next week.

Time to get out of the house

Or maybe I should take a leaf out the book of these three bored German teenagers.

My better halfs' company backed credit card could be perfect for this. If only I knew where she keeps it.
