Sorry to be so soft, but Norah Jones, 'Humble Me'

Interesting. Although the thought that this is a concerted effort makes me want to be sick. I was discussing with a colleague the other day how much more use of the internet paedophiles seem to be making now. It seems as if they are swapping skills, tips, and even targets online. My feelings really go out to the police who are responsible for trying to tackle this problem.

When is it ever humorous to traumatize a child? You're not an uncle, are you?

can't really add to what has been said already by way of advice. But it sounds to me as if your head is screwed on straight, and you know how to plan ahead soberly. That's good for you, but also good for whoever employs you. So keep your spirits up!

Are you sure you used the right animals?

I concur. One major reason for an out of court settlement is that it does not set a precedent. Viz the way the UK banks have been avoiding going to court over overdraft payments.

Thanks, LC. I've made a note of the technical specs rather than the actual phones, in case I can't find any locally.

The teachers. And on re-reading it seems to me they were just trying to spark some thought in their kids. The problem is they pulled a stunt better suited to 18 year olds on little kids.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/leicester/content/art...p_feature.shtml Basically this kid has been snatched in Portugal from a hotel room while her parents were close by. I find this conceptually a difficult crime, and thought we might usefully explore it a bit. 1. Targetting: who knew the child was there? Someone had to pick her from the hundreds of others available. 2. Physically getting access to the child. How did someone get into the flat? 3. Egress. How did anyone make off with this kid? Surely an individual would have been noted taking a child wearing pyjamas. Unless the criminal brought clothing with them of some sort. 4. The parents appera to have been going back to the apartment regularly to check on their kids. The attacker obviously knew when to go in. I guess on the whole we are talking about someone who had really laid the groundwork. But we also have this question of why pick on such a tough target? Predatory paedophiles are just that - predators. Surely they should have gone for easier pickings. Combine the above with the difficulty of abducting the child without notice and it ocurs to me that this could have been an individual familiar witha nd to the child. Perhaps someone who came over from the UK for the express purpose of taking her. This may sound odd, but it is less so when one considers that the vast majority of abuse is perpetrated on children by those who know them, not strangers. The immediate problem with THAT is where would our hypothetical paedophile take the child when they had them? We face the problem that neither the child nor any trace of her has been found since. So we are not dealing with an immediate local attack. She must have been taken somewhere else and taken there fast. Any thoughts?

Don't you think it might be more likely that they had a quirky sense of humour that wound up being taken way too seriously by everybody? Rather than them being mental?

Some of the guys in the stores are good. But equally they can be total fools. I recall letting one guy who was clearly a wannabe something believe I was a total novice and lump me with some inferior units in a skirmish with Epic. A handful of leman Russ and infantry versus a baneblade and shadowsword. As it happened I hadn't played a game since the old Adeptus Titanicus but frankly if you understand the concept of concentration of force, and have a rough idea of basic tactics you could have beat him. He got very embarassed and accused me of cheating! Read the books if you want a feel for it.

I'm doing some recording transcriptions and need recommendations on some good relatively cheap headphones for listening to voice. I am trying to reduce the impact on my neighbours.

This is going to end with Walsh going crazy and eating someone I bet. It is going to end with me going nuts with a sledgehammer and tearing my ceiling apart. At least I would have revenge on the bastards that are in there at present. Another resident told me that the rat he saw was the size of a cat.

The italians use pancetta. SPAM works nearly as well, and these chaps were looking for SPAM recipes. Anyway, this is now other recipes, so my digitalised colleague, have you any?

I'll have you know the basic recipe for the soup is Italian. Finger licking by other people? Crikey.

MST3K Space Mutiny Bad Guy: "Is this the man?" Crow: "Why no, sir. You the man."

I think simulated disasters should be a part of the school curriculum. Next week: Godzilla rises from the deep.

I really have to try this one some day It really is tasty.

Rodents reported in all flats in building. Send reinforcements.

Good quality games, but stylistically not for me. At all. Bring me out in an unsightly rash.

Firstly meat should be cooked simply and be utterly delicious when eaten on its own with a large knife. Two recipes for doing this are: Chicken. Poke holes in its skin, and stuff garlic butter in the holes, dust lightly with carroway seeds, place chicken in large deep roasting tin, fill base of tin with leftover red wine from some party or other. Cover with tinfoil. Roast. Eat. Shoulder of Lamb. Take _DARK_ (not sweet marmalade) and spread all over the lamb. Put in roasting tin. Roast. Serve with roasted carrots baked in the juice at the bottom of the tin. And big knives.

We could have a crown, being indentured subjects.

Rats in evidence last night, now going past daybreak. My houseguest remarked that he hadn't heard any rats... but "a pair of small dogs had thundered across the ceiling once or twice."

Maye if I go see the film I will understand why everyone seems so hyped about that bloody moment with the pie.

Probably being used as an Al Qaeda "See how the infidels are spawn of Satan" video.
