Illuminati-R-Us

Hey, remember The Rums complaining there wouldn't be a problem with Abu Ghraib if all those young 'uns these days weren't running around with digital cameras taking pictures of eacht other just anywhere? Not only do I remember that, I have cited that story myself many times. Not sure whether I did ...

-1243, that being the number produced by multiplying -11 by 113, or if one prefers, 11 by -113.

Not exactly new, but I just found it.

Well, that can be improved. It is well inside, away from the window right now. The physical layout of the room is - well, not optimal for this, but maybe there is a way.

As I didn't mention the particular website in this 2.5 year old post, I have to guess about which one it might be.

If I am guessing correctly, it has been back up for some time.

So more than two years since anyone started a thread in here . . . Anyway, I am sitting by the pool right now, something that can be done here year round. I have my computer, a tablet, and a 'phone. What I do not have is wi-fi. So the computer and the tablet access the internet through my 'phone. Up...

So it is Suella Braverman?

So there is a Braverman and a Cleverly.

Mactep, I can well imagine that Singapore is an oasis of calm that barely notices that anything's been happening in Israel. I wonder, though, whether the same is true of your immediate neighbours to the north and south. Just guessing, no hard evidence here, but I am thinking the Indonesians probabl...

I on e knew a Greek chap who would say, “it’s all Turkish to me”.

And for what it's worth, in the quarterfinal, South Africa defeated France by one point. In the semifinal, South Africa defeated England by one point. In the final, South Africa defeated New Zealand by one point. As one Saffer friend said, "Yeah, we are the one point nation!" With the exc...

Wow. Saffers win an absolutely thrilling Final, 12-11. I was rooting for the All Blacks, but wow. I'll become a Rugby fan yet. When the Kiwi try got called back, the fellow sitting around the bar from me vigorously threw his beer mug into the sink behind the bar, smashing it. The barman didn't thro...

Hearing reports that the other Irish bar, over where the Orchard girls are, has over one hundred people queued up to get in.

So the Irish bar is absolutely hopping just 35 minutes before the final.

Then we heard the sound of broken glass

Followed by one of the Saffers shouting, “Kiwis did it!”
