Monty Pythons flying cir....CUS!!!
and finally, this just sums up all that is so ridiculous in the world today...and yesterday, and more worryingly tomorrow...
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!
Can you beat it? Priceless!!!

Whinge and moan...
Half-way through the week (alright, it's Tuesday...) and lots of things to catch up with. I have never really understood the excitement over football, so this story of bribery and corruption didn't really bother me too much - I don't care about the game, so it's something for all the millions of idiots who follow hopelessly over-priced wanna-be George Bests...
I was interested in the MP and expenses scandals (still running, you know...). Those crooks get elected (by us mugs) and they then proceed to gravy-train it for years, ripping even more out of the public coffer!
And then I came across the very tragic news of Milly - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-13343915. We shall find out much more from the court case, but what is it that make some very strange people do these crazy things?
The on-going mess in the middle east is sad. Very sad, and very dangerous. Whatever happens now Gaddaffi knows that he has few friends. This will alter the Europe politics, whichever way it turns out.
And perhaps a little bit of sanity, after the nightmare of the last few weeks? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-13346537

Ozzy was unarmed!!!
Who cares, really, that bin Liner was unarmed when he was shot (if he was shot...if he is not alive, and living on some island, somewhere, with Elvis, and co.). When you think of all those people who this man (this animal!) has destroyed, and virtually all of them were unarmed, then it's no great loss.
All that Ozzy has done is destroy. The people around him have been torn from whatever life-style they had, into one of fear and intimidation. The world has been on Red Alert for the last 10 years, and I have no doubt that it will continue for some time.
They simply don't get it. The idea of spreading fear and doubt, in the modern world, simply has no place. We build, they destroy. They put people off the idea of freedoms, we encourage. I suppose the arguement may be that we don't have it quite right, just yet, but we have to be the better alternative!
So, leading up to 9/11 will now mean that all the Security types are on hot-standby - so watch out if you are in south London, with a bag over your shoulder, and look suspicious. Watch out if you are actually daft enough to be carrying any bomb, with a view that you will be in Heaven, enjoying all those virgins. Ask yourself this: how did the virgins get to Heaven? And what if they are all gay...?

Ossie bin Liner...
So, finally, we are told, the legendary Bad Man of the Millenium (so far) is no more. The demise of this Mr Nasty will be viewed by many as an excuse for a party, and some as an excuse to be nasty - again. The problem with this announcement is that they have not proved it; we have not seen details - and we have not seen the stiff! There are too many rumours and conspiracy theories around, but there will be another one soon - was it him? It wasn't him, but someone who looked like him. And so on...
It would have been nice (in a strange way) to have the chance to put him on trial, like Sadman Hussy, but then that was USA-concocted. They invaded another country, because of weapons that he didn't have, and executed him for a crime he didn't commit?
My trust in the USA is running thin...............

Normal service has been resumed...
After the really nice 'day off' yesterday, when a fabulous couple had their Big Day, and the clocks of the world stopped, just so that we could all watch, we are now back to normal. Now we catch up with what we missed, where it happened, and such... the trouble is, most of the news is, well, trouble...

I suppose that there is some good news out there, somewhere, but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack - without a magnet!

Royal Weddings...
All in all, young Kate looked lovely today. Wills is clearly going thin on top. The rest of the Firm was (mostly) there. I think that it is long overdue for the Royal Family to marry into good stock; perhaps this has happened today? I wish them well, and perhaps Kate can bring some sense of ...well, sense, to the Royals. Their performance over the last few decades has not won them any awards.
Best wishes to the new couple.
