Well, you just lost me, Cutlock. Way to go with the names.

I'm normally fine about this sort of thing. But I'm just not comfortable any more. Not sure why exactly. Ought to be some sort of opt-out if you have a big enough moustache, or something.

Basic admin. Then out for some phys. Did mainly willstopming, plus a little jog, but the jogging hurt like hell so I went back to stomping. Not too bad. Plus tried - and actually succeeded - in doing 100 sit-ups in one block. Bloody weird. I must have cheated somehow, but I can't work out how.

Slept ten hours. Feel groggy as hell. What a week. Next week is either going to be legendary or it's going to be a disaster. There is an outside chance I may have to resign my job because I disagree with policy. Good to have to put your money where your mouth is occasionally!

Weirdly, that is exactly how I ended today. With different calibre bullets? Actually it was more to do with bullet forms and their characteristics in different mediums. Thinking back if we'd carried on long enough I guess we'd have asked the question exactly how to make a macarena round.

The internetz are the ocean as it was back in about 1720. Nations something or other. Note to self: bedtime.

Weirdly, that is exactly how I ended today.

Today I achieved what I think is a personal best of 7000 words of final draft quality report. I'm now off for a well earned pint.

I have a lot of interest in the Sikh faith, and find their concepts of honour and martial virtue very laudable. However, to the best of my minimal knowledge the temple attacked was attacked because it housed terrorists and terrorist weapons. Putting both weapons and users inside the most holy temple was hardly an accident or make-shift. It must have been deliberate. I cannot therefore find outrage very convincing. What possible alternative would the authorities have? Besides which I think there's some pretty obvious criticisms to be levelled at any Sikh who targets innocents with terror. Surely that's hardly the way they are supposed to fight? having said that, I could easily believe that the authorties didn't handle the attack with good grace. But that's an adjunct to the primary cause - the people using the temple as cover. ~~ Just my two pennies.

It's a good idea, because it shows how many others have pledged. Mate of mine was doing something charitable, and I pledged 200 quid. After that the average pledge doubled (made up figure, but basically true).

That does it. I'm going to get a tattoo of two wolves howling right across my butt, then post my mobile number on the forum.

Getting killed doesn't prevent you from getting a medal, ergo I'm kinda guessing it doesn't preclude you being heroic. As for morgoth's negativity it's so predictable it's almost soothing. Like watching a wave roll in.

How can BEEF of all meats be too much work? You don't even need to cook it!

This story reminded me of how an actual soldier, rather than someone who used to be a soldier, behaves.

Things China doesn't want you to search for online.

You obviously haven't considered the possibilities. A tattoo. That tingles. On a signal. Until you touch it.

I have opted for a Chestertonian diet of beer, beef, and sarcasm.

Obviously. As we all know, men have no emotions.

Eat red meat!

Well, since jihadists are really you're run of the mill death cult fascists I'd say they're right wing. But hey-ho. Potato potahto. I love how this guy has essentially been waffling on non-stop about how hard his life has been and how his actions are totally justified. I'd love to see the look on the negotiator's face while he's listening to all this.

Mmmm.... mmmmm.

What if you're a 10 year old redneck boy? Reg-a-deng-deng-deng

Inspired by one of my new colleagues I work standing up. Of course he has this awesome robocop desk thing. I simply work off the top of a filing cabinet. But you get the idea.
