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.

I got round that by listening to stories whle exercising, or exercising with friends.

1. But not every man murders little kids when he crosses that line. 2. It still doesn't obviate my reaction as above. The entire world of a frontline soldier is shot through with pressures to make you run, disobey, and kill without reason. But soldiers don't. It's not just this arsehole went wrong. But he went wrong in a way that he probably knew was wrong. Hell, maybe it made him more extreme knowing that. But explanation and excuse are not the same thing.

Well, there is that. But then I was considering that, and one hardly feels like hopping about alll over the landscape if you're really overdrawn at the sleep bank.

Story I remember prepping a psychology experiment (many years ago) in which previous test subjects had shown the main impact of tiredness was getting peckish. Thoughts.

I'd been tracking the story of the individual/group murdering French paratroopers for a while, but wasn't expecting the killer to turn on a school. My analysis is that we are looking at a right wing individual. Possibly even someone who is/was a soldier. Anyone accept a fiver bet on?

Look, I approve in principle of trying to defend the guy. But just stop and think about what he did. Thousands (regrettably) of troops have PTSD. They get my respect and support. But when you start murdering women and kids, at night, when they're screaming with terror... You abandon understanding, you reject humanity. You're not on my side any more. You have crossed the **** over.

Don't worry, Big Green. It's just my sense of humour. My mum would approve. She hated mother's day for the reason Raithe already mentioned: too commercialised.

You're confusing imagination with actual thinking. One builds using facts.

And the easiest - if not the best - reply to that is to demand full disclosure from the champions of full disclosure. I'm not sure anyone can withstand 100% scrutiny of everything they do. I think it's why so many marriages fail.

I don't think I'm alone in seeing anyone who tries really hard to be totally clean cut as being a bit sinister. I mean I try to behave honourably. But I swear and drink ale and cheerfully stare at young ladies, so I feel it balances out.

Mother's day is a ludicrous notion. Of course. I don't have to buy a card any more! Ha!

Good luck on that, Labadal. Just bear in mind what happened to poor Sand.

Makes you think, tho. How hard would it be to slip a guy some sativa or acid? Instant public fail. Anyone could do that. I'm waiting to see what story emerges.

Care to elaborate? Dude, you're old enough to know she doesn't have to elaborate.
