Walsingham

Damn good thing too. If it weren't for my survivalist scale stocks of mint sauce I'd have been over-run by weresheep completely.

Yeah. I was going to say, why are we treating Nader's effect as zero sum? Surely a third party candidate can activate unused votes, rather than simply stealing?

Life lesson: Don't EVER feth with Tarna.

Ah.. the traditional drink of the Irish.

I remember an advertisement here one time, that ran along these lines. Citizen: "I don't like talking politics. I think it's boring, and doesn't really affect me." And the guy is sitting in a pub (licensing hours), drinking (customs and excise), watching sport (government funding) on the television (govt regulated). he reaches into his pocket to get cash, and he hasn't much money (taxes). I understand people who won't talk politics. I just would like to help them understand it better so they'd find it more interesting.

Our ISPs might well block a website that hosts material we find offensive. I don't see what's so wrong about some other country finding something else offensive.

My response on the religious aspect of booze is always the same: humility is a rare gift, and nothing breeds true humility like waking up in a chair at 90 degrees, wearing no pants, and with vomit up your nose.

I like the idea of a ninja sneaking into an office and putting the dots on the i's as little hearts. Well done on the diet, Sando. Although I had more succes cutting down on sugar. Fat makes you feel full for longer, and lets you work without cravings.

Singha is good Also, Kingfisher isn't bad either. Sort of goes well together with indian food I must say that I dislike Cobra and Kingfisher. If only IPAs (India Pale Ales) were available in restaurants. As it is I prefer sweet fruity white wines with hot curry.

http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/4F2...A835CB96817.htm Medvedev backs Sebia with what I think is a pretty strongly worded statement. However, no explicit moves were set out.

I suspected this was a topic on random musings, but it appears Walsingham is in actuality voraciously interested in the topic at hand. It appears I would be churlish to refuse you the option of sitting in the corner randomly musing.

I'm quite fond of budvar, but if I am going to go in that direction at all I'll take singha beer, or castle lager. Both tasty but good in the heat.

Thanks, man. It would be very galling for thsi to fall through at this stage for no better reason than that the vendor is a fool.

Is Bill Clinton dressed as the Pope in that last pic?

My bleeding house negotiations fel through today. The vendor suddenly decided that an offer "subject to survey" actually doesn't mean that it is subject to a survey. Either that or for some reason they assuemd that a survey would result in my raising my offer. Honestly, I've never dealt with anyone in obvious command of considerable funds who was so clearly unsuitable to be in charge of them. ...OK that's not true. But all the others were members of the aristocracy and they don't count. They're supposed to be mad. Incandescent with fury. I had to go out for ANOTHER run just to burn off energy. On the plus side I noticed I look and feel about eight years younger. Fury is obviously good for me. UPDATE: I just finished a phone conversation with the estate agents. I didn't actually accuse the young man of being an idiot, but I did speculate on the mental strength of his client. I used the Harvard technique to give him a drubbing: 1. Pointed out the logical foundation for my position, unrelated to expense. 2. Enquired after the logical foundation of his client's position (they had none, they simply wished they were getting more money in spite of the collapsing house market). 3. Illustrated the massive discrepancy in the strength of our two fallback positions. I lose a few hundred pounds if this falls through. His client will lose thousands in wasted interest and mortgage payments, and has only a slim hope of getting more money. 4. Stated it was absurd that the negotiations should fall apart because the vendor was simply being childish. 5. Stated that the negotiations were not going to fall apart, and that builders were going in, I was getting my quote, and the price would come down. Hopefully we shall see some action now. But by god it's fuyn to lose your temper. Best done in moderation, I think, but still awesome.

I'd forgotten about that. Really, as you know I'm hardly a fan of vigilante justice (Or as I like to call it The Judge Hades Fiery Destruction Half Hour), but it seems to me that in the absence of any law enforcement online people HAVE to prosecute the fight against net criminals. In any event, I don't see even now what possible objection the spamsters would have. Indeed, they'd have to rbing a case, identifiying themselves as spamsters.

I suspect the problem could be entrapment? But I'm not sure. I simply don't know enough about this kind of fraud. BUt it seems to me that having mroe ways to trace criminals can only be a good thing.

I'd agree, but this stuff is actually pretty decent. Sort of gentle and aromatic My favourite, which I can't get locally is called Firestoker, by Marstons. Smooth light IPA (lagerboy friendly) with the faintest hint of cherry wood/mahogany smell.

Wouldn't that make them even more useful to law enforcement? Because instead of tracing some random zombie PC you get pinged by the actual fraudster? i supose the biggest issue there would be that the same numbers would turn up repeateedly, allowing scammers to spot the lures.

Why not use 'poison' credit card and personal data, fed back via criminal's spam email, to catch them?

My rule of thumb: amusing name = crap beer.

Dmitri Medvedev just arrived in Serbia. Looks like Russia are about to play their counter-card. Keep your peepers peeled.

I followed each point, but am not sure where I am now supposed to be. Surely all those issues have been around for a while?

Kitchen - high priority, good strong worksurfaces especially. Nothing quite like malleting a chicken flat and finding you've cracked the boards. busy street - is it busy 24/7? I've certainly known 'quiet' streets which are horrendous at precisely the hours when one wants to sit still and relax. bathroom - you'll get quickly used to it small bedrooms - how much room does one actually need for sleeping? danger spot - you are neglecting two points. Firstly, this will give you an excuse for wearing a viking helmet around the house. Secondly, if you are being pursued you can chase through here and duck, while your pursuer comedically is knocked unconscious.

I have to say that corona, like budweiser, is the proverbial romance in a light water craft.
