Are you kidding me?

Bitter much?

here we have a gymnast whining about why she hadn't received a letter of congratulations from Gordon Brown like Jenson Button did. Well, sweetheart, maybe when you can pull 154,000,000 viewers he'll get back to you. There's my 0.02p

I dunno Jiang, just shade it a different colour.....

Got to love Chinese problem solving.

The Kashmir valley seems to be one of those prime property locations hotly contested for by both the Indians and the Pakistanis so if you need to produce a new map what do you do to not piss off anybody by showing favoritism? simple, make one up

Culture shock

Over here in the west it never ceases to amaze me that people operate comfortably from within the confines of their little boxes, completely oblivious to what goes on outside.

Take for example, This article from the Saudi gazette, which reminds me of the things we take for granted, and just how different things can be merely 1/4 way around the world.

Here we have a young girl 'minding her own business', bums a ride with a guy only to end up getting raped by him and 4 others and impregnated. I'd like to know where the follow-up article is on what happened to the guys, the article makes no mention, but, given the 'innocent' party in the incident ended up receiving 100 lashes and a year in prison, I'd like to believe that they all were treated to the proverbial 'long drop with a short stop' courtesy of the Saudi courts.


*N.B - my use of parentheses in relation to her minding her bidness serves as a reminder to the fact that she may not be entirely innocent in the situation. She could've possibly been engaged in the world's oldest profession, who knows?
Not in Saudi you say? stranger things have happened

Genographic project Update #1

A few months ago I had mentioned that I took part in this project. Well, I've recently been updated on the status, and true to form, the bajans have managed to supremely cock up the process insomuch as that the results will now be ready (won't hold my breath for this) at the end of November. 2 months after the anticipated date.

More to come soon.

Big bang day pt.2

Yep, provided everything goes as planned, we'll be smashing protons in mere months

I'll have the first option Pat............

L.A. lewis does it again

the #1 solution to #2 odours!!

Aaaaaaahh, I would've loved to see Billy Mays flogging this one.......

"BILLY MAYS HERE, JUST A DROP IS ALL YOU NEED TO BE RID OF THOSE BATHROOM SMELLS!!! STINKY TOILET?? BAM! JUST ONE DROP AND YOUR POOP WILL SMELL NO MORE........BUT WAIT!! DON'T FORGET IT'S NOW AVAILABLE TO YOU IN BARBADOS!!!"

P.S. -I'd try it out but I'm waiting for mass production on those pills that make my bowel movements smell like fresh baked cinnamon buns

*UPDATE*

Someone's managed to procure our very own bottle of 'just a drop' here at the house of T. Review to follow soon

Lest we forget...............

God of our fathers, known of old--
Lord of our far-flung battle line--
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine--
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!

The tumult and the shouting dies--
The Captains and the Kings depart--
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!

Far-called our navies melt away--
On dune and headland sinks the fire--
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge of the Nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!

If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe--
Such boastings as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the Law--
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget--lest we forget!

For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard--
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding calls not Thee to guard.
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy Mercy on Thy People, Lord!
Amen.

- Recessional by Rudyard Kipling

Sweet mother of Jeebus!!

Everyone's favorite leader over here at the house of T paid a diplomatic visit to senor Chavez a few weeks back, and I nearly shot my coffee through my nose when I saw that pic (above) I found over on the times. I'm sure Mr. Panetta was kicking himself over opportunities lost for an inconvenient 'accident'.

Meanwhile, over at my house we only wanted to know if Chavez was driving, and Muammar was riding shotgun, who the f@ck was going to get in the backseat?

Good news, Bad news & stale news

First the stale news (I tell ya', there's nothing worse, But anyway), hot on the heels of those clever Japanese, NASA has bombed crashed a wmd stage rocket into a crater on the moon's surface last week in order to detect residual water within close proximity to the surface.

The good news is, the moon is still in one piece. The bad news, however, is that absolutely fuck-all happened, that's right, not even a lunar fart. But hey, such things tend to happen in research and I'm sure they'll get it right next time

If I were an american taxpayer I'd be pretty pissed though.

This week's bajanism

*n.b. - This week's bajanism takes not the form of a select word extracted from the bajan vernacular (my brain just broke into sweat coming up with that one), but, comes in the ever popular form of "Ya know ya is a bajan when...", It's been inspired by those little things peculiar to bajans that we don't necessarily think of until they're pointed out by someone unfamiliar with the customs. so without further ado, i bring to you:-

"Ya know ya is a bajan when yuh forhead does tek up 1/3 of yuh face space"

All over the world today, keyboards are smoking..

busy day today. Bloggers must be going nuts trying to get everything down.

I, however, will have to do a retrospective review, as I'm trying to conclude the interim valuation dance of death with a bi-polar honey badger.

I, Carnivore

I told you so.

I fail to understand why every tom, dick and harry would choose have their lives/lifestyles dictated to them by every other celebrity and/or marketing department in existence. Here we have another shining example of scientific discovery in direct contradiction of previous schools of thought. All those hippies/vegetarians/rastafarians that professed to me the endless virtues of soy shall now be helping themselves to a double serving of humble pie, with cream.

I on the other hand have always taken the view that I eat what I want, when I want, without regret and woe betide the man/woman/child that gets between me and my mignon. I'll even step out on a limb here and go so far as to say "If God didn't want us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of such tasty meat?"

中华人民共和国 turns 60

Forget what the mainstream media says. China is awesome. If you're 28, single and straight, there aren't many other places on the planet that compare. So I see fit enter this post in acknowledgement of their anniversary birthday independence or... whatever
