Suicide Christmas

Yvonne (the mother) is inconsolable,


Her 19 year old son has just topped himself..... I am drunk.

Me mam (the great aunt) has always given the appearance of eternity... today she looked so fragile.. Nancy (the gran) (I dread to think)

Life is worse than cheap... it is pointless.. a futile exercise in work, amusement and delusion.

The Great Ape is not so great.

Naked Emperor of the week....Madoff

If it looks too good to be true....

Yet again we are pleased to announce that a lot of intelligent people were duped by their own greed.....

I'm waiting for Santander etal to implode.... Why were so many prof. investors merely putting the cash in another fund?

Shamen on you.

Nearly two pounds of still-green plant material found in a 2,700-year-old grave in the Gobi Desert has just been identified as the world's oldest (known) marijuana stash, the marijuana "is quite similar" to what's grown today, the marijuana came from a cultivated strain.

The cannabis, which was excavated at the Yanghai Tombs near Turpan, China. It was found lightly pounded in a wooden bowl in a leather basket near the head of a blue-eyed Caucasian man who died when he was about 45.

This individual was buried with an unusual number of high value, rare items, including a make-up bag, bridles, pots, archery equipment and a kongou harp. The researchers believe the individual was a shaman from the Gushi people, who spoke a now-extinct language called Tocharian that was similar to Celtic.

Only 45 when he died..... I bet the evil weed did it!

The Heavens.

There's something primeval about looking up to the heavens and staring at the moon, venus and jupiter at dusk...

I do hope the sky is clear again tonight.

Where's the spunk?

I've just had a chat with a nice couple I know down the pub.

The last time I saw them they told me they would be in India for Christmas.

So I asked them if they were feeling some trepidation now.

Oh no, they've cancelled their visit.

Should I feel contempt or pity?.....

It must be awful to live life in a state of nervous anxiety. (pity)

Still it means a victory for the terrorists. (contempt)

The inexorable rise of Big Brother

CCTV cameras which can 'predict' if a crime is about to take place are being introduced on Britain's streets.

The cameras can alert operators to suspicious behaviour, such as loitering and unusually slow walking. Anyone spotted could then have to explain their behaviour to a police officer.

Being Freeborn and English ain't what it used to be.
