Illuminati-R-Us

As expected, we gat desperate at the end, chased the game and they scored. Oh well.

Well here we are again, Scotland play Netherlands tonight in our final qualifier for the World Cup next year. If we win we are in playoff (probably) anything else and we're out.

I suspect we won't win and HD's lot won't do us a favour, and there is no reason they should.

I remember Sweden changing in 1967 (though I thought it was the 70s).

To echo Enzo, it is fine to be the party room, but when the cops come to the door and everyone else has legged it you are standing next to the bong and your bed has the vomit covered waster on it. No, I'm not bitter that I was 29 and married before I went to uni and that I spent my teenage years wor...

Ok, the W-9 was bounced but they have sent me a W-8BEN to fill in instead. On a brief glance it at least countenances the possibility of my client living in the UK.

Samoa joins the forces of righteousness and now drives on the left.

And it has gone!

Four is coming back tonight with a Volvo estate, I'm not convinced it will be big enough.

Walking to the station this morning I got a big smile and a cheery "Hello" from a woman I don't recognise and who is pretty and half my age. No idea what just happened but it was definitely flirty. I never had it, but sometimes I get to borrow Enzo's. :D

Ok, so I had e-mailed four to remind him how big this bookcase is; 42"x48"x12". It's big and heavy, it came from a bank back when they made proper furniture; it isn't flat pack rubbish. So he turns up in a small hatchback, he measured it and is convinced it will be made to fit. He loo...

ESPN Fantasy Football. Or as my friend in Virginia would say f'tbawl.

I got "Pirate Galaxy" which seems to be some online game.

I'll wait for four to fall through before going for five. :D

Sale four (different buyer) has happened. Money paid, bookcase to be picked up on Thursday evening.

There was a study in the UK about ten years ago into child abuse, it found that often the women are as much part of it as the men. They claim to be bullied/frightened by the man and judges and juries believe them as they don't want to consider the possibility that women do such things. That and pros...

Steam trains Pfff! Steam car.

And in the end, as the man suffers from incurable cancer nearing end stage, it was simply an act of mercy. I see no injustice from this to the victims and the ones they left behind suffering. Exactly, he wasn't breaking rocks in the hot sun. He was in a hospital here, he'll be in a hospital there. ...

On a more rational note: the view of prison here is to protect the public and to reform the offender. al-Megrahi is no longer a threat to the public and may or may not be reformed so he is released. That is how our criminal justice system works, and terrorists go through the same court system as oth...

I find it more annoying that he is always "Future Hall of Fame QB Brett Favre"; how many more bad years does he have to have to balance out the handful of good ones?

The fall guy for the Lockerbie bombing has been released on compassionate grounds. It was never convincing that there was enough evidence to convict him, he should have been "Not Proven" at worst, but that is another story. His conviction stands. The whining and bitching from various US po...

Just the continuing: Look at me, me, me, me, ME, ME, ME, ME!

Brett Favre, what a cunt.

382 - Theodosius purged Constantinople of Manichean heretics.

I think that was it.

Ah, I can't remember what it was but it was something sciency. A danish physicist? Something like that.
