Ah bless! I remember when the internet was all fields! Seriously dude, heed E's comment above; it is one seriously funny book, and was brought to life brilliantly first time round in the 80's by the BBC! So me is looking forward to Tuesday!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/ Starts again on Tuesday, listen to it over the web you can! Cool eh?

I haven't parted with any money and i'm sitting in the chat rooms as we speak... most confused!

Speak to you Wednesday Niic!

Who indeed. Except our muppet excuse for a goalkeeper. Mumble.

Bored. http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RwDrAiwWqjE8sAzlF6aEcNmsvKi!oOdkYwdDCYS2nWBe8iseBIZaF6iXjivhmqNnpEOwma7QxeDAaxhUIxcLnBNsyDno!YQZME7Y2HuK4rA/doewalkicon.gif

I've got a new worst film ever. Battlefieldearth. They showed it last night on the telly, and even with a beer-soaked brain I realized it was without doubt truely dreadful. Never got to the end. I think I switched over to a shopping channel or something equally as suicidle.

Despite technical issues i'm clueless to comment upon, the best way to use the chat is to announce a chat; ie: say 'Yo one and all, Let's have some chat at 21:00 hours gmt on Wednesday.' etc Let's see what happens.

Fiend. Beer there is all over my monitor. All frothy. Tar.

I know no one that is clean, except the LINCHENSTEIN, a small country between Germany and Switzerland that recently gave nearly full power to there prince. But you are true, and as i said, i live in Switzerland and the Swiss mistakes are far less mentioned in the press, but same for every country, newspapers and mostly TV news are often showing the mistakes of others but really there one country's mistakes. like for sport, in France, you just have news about the French ones, in the US, you just have about the US ones, and even less i must say, and i know, i have French TV her so i know how it is and i was in the US this year for the beginning of the games. And i noticed that there was a slightly better coverage in France. Not to mention the Swiss that ONLY show the 14 or so runners, but once they have all lost, well then there is noting to cover so they get more general. But all of that to say that we should do an other thread about other countries, and i will join in as soon as i can. But you didn’t say if you have seen the movie Fahrenheit 9/11? God damn it NIIC! Why does it always seem i'm poking you in the ribs? Not to be taken in person dude... buutttt.... LINCHENSTEIN!?! You have got to be kidding me right? This is one of the richest little havens on the planet, and for a rather obvious reason! You do not honestly expect what is essentially a city-state to generate so much capital in it's own business it can safely be rated as one of the wealthiest places on earth? Does the newsagent on every corner generate that much capital? Linchenstein is populated by people. Extremely rich people who obviously own a great deal of shares in business elsewhere. What's the difference between a state popluated by people who benefit economically from industry elsewhere in the world and another state; such as the USA, UK, or France, where people do as well? Not alot other than the larger states have the military clout to protect their economic investments, where as people in LINCHENSTEIN can use their money to influence theirs. Not a lot of moral difference dude. Unless your investment is treating people fairly and with respect in third world factories, it doesn't matter where your sat enjoying the benefits. It's either right of wrong, and nationality doesn't really come into it. * *Personal view obviously.

Happy Birthday my friend! Have something daft: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0QgAAAJsThoYwCb74Q2Xg1tRqKjrjpfE42gxp6Ogp2UqafBgHVAiWoSNhRKYAZFpB!CPlt71EHP1nGXoG5*iRKQVOZTYZgPVB64YUOLLkayU/Trej19.gif * Edit: Clickerable clean gif. Took me bloody ages.

Right, well a big thank you to those who've done their lines and forwarded them to me...they are now trickling in, so a big well done! However, there are those of you out there who are failing in their responsibilities *points like Imperial Advisor Droid/sounds metallic* Sort your lives out lads!

So I am! I got so carried away ranting I forgot to point that out!

I'm confussed. Who is in prison? I didn't know you had internet access in prison.

I obviously can't take my cat anywhere! Stupid feline doesn't know how to behave.

Dude, I haven't seen it and have no desire to see it. I see no reason why I should. Here is some ranting I composed earlier, I hope it makes the world a happier and more fun place. Emmm...well as far as the American ellection goes, I don't actually care that much anymore. I opposed the war in Iraq before it began because I was seriously cynical concerning the motives; ie:it's for the West's oil interests and not the genuine desire to remove an extremely foul and wicked regime which would have got my seal of approval. I am sick to death of having to share the planet with despots and tyrants, bullies and thugs, and would like to see armed removal of regimes in Syria (gassed their Kurds), North Korea (Stalist fascists), etc; even upto dealing with China who continue to occupy Tibet, trash it's resources and subsequently flood Bangladesh each year with ever worse flooding because they're cutting down to many trees in the Himalays upriver. Whilst I admit that China is somewhat unrealistic an achievable target, the underlying disgust at non-action against regimes like these from the International community makes me extremely cynical of anybody's motives, which is why I make a point of attacking anybody who gives North America and/or George Bush a hard time. The USA is simply not the grand-villen on the world's stage. Everybody is ripping off everybody it seems, our European business as if an artform. Back in the eightees we were in the cold war against the communist block, who with some estimates got they're way through one hundred million human lives. No wonder the west let compliant middle-easten regimes alone! Twas a cold war! Sometimes you have to deal with evil to thwart evil. When the Soviet block at last collapsed the world re-adjusted itself in the 90's. No one could seriously expect attention to suddenly focus on the west's dodgy allies in places like the middle-east after such a short period of time. It could be said North America was asleep when 9/11 happened. Apart from the odd outburst of insane extremist right wing lunitics taking out federal buildings and religious fruitcakes at Wako, there experience of terrorism was a pale shadow of what we in Europe have had to deal with over the decades. I, living in the UK, have had the threat of the IRA most of my life. The Italians and Germans have had the threat of various left-wing communists, the Spannish with ETA, the French with nationlists from Corsica; we as Europeans have experianced terrorism and perhaps have forgotten it's almost made us whiry of it. We cannot be surprised if what happened on 9/11 shook the USA awake. Largely they had no domestic experiance of such acts of terror, and certainly not on such a scale. And in anycase, 9/11 wasn't just an attack on America; it was an attack on the Western world; our democracy, our liberty, our freedom to discard or accept ideas and beliefs. Capitalism can't be blamed here either. Whilst there is a great deal of business acting in extremely questionable ways, that can't be pinned on America or Europe for that matter. And it certainly can't be pinned on George Bush's blazer exclusively either. He seems to represent a certain section of current American thinking that I personally disagree with on a great many issues, economically not least, but the response from the anti-war vein of thought has disgusted and moved me to distraction. The demonization of George Bush as if all the world's current ills fall upon his sholders isn't just childish, it has in some ways hyjacked interlectual argument in opposing his present foreign policy; a policy I have had to largely now agree with in the wake of Iraq, given the reaction of those that oppose it; liberals and religious fascists. The civilized world had every right to remove the Taliban Islamic fascists from Afganistan. Simply sharing the soil of this planet with fascist scum like them is anfront to human dignity. People do not question confronting what the Nazi's got upto in Europe, or the Japanese in Asia. If it took a 9/11 for a docile international community to address these vermin, so be it. The Iraqi's had every opportunity to comply with the weapon inspector's requests and tried to prevent them at every opportunity. And this is where the real humanitarian hypocracy sets in. France and Russia; suddenly concerned about their precious Iraqi business contracts, make out doing nothing is the best course of action. Just like the present ethnic extermination in Sudan. Hypocritical scum they are! Perhaps the French are better at blowing up Greenpeace ships than engaging enemies that might fight back. So Iraq is invaded and on the surface, conquered (despite the present chaos). What exactly is the difference in taking military action and conquering a country that had invaded foreign countries and because of it's prime resources, put the world's stockmarkets into chaos(ie:Kuwait, Iran), as we did in WW2? Oil is a realistic reason to wage war if one of the major suppliers to the world's economy isn't playing ball with the world's economies, trying to bully it's neighbors, and subsequently effecting the quality of my own personal life. I'm all for taking control, it's to precious a commidity to remain in the hands of such loose cannons. The world's economy needs stability in the matter given it's apparently enslaved so much by oil. If your disgusted by this statement(and paragraph) switch your monitor and PC off immediately, go to your household mains box and switch that off as well. If you're happy to spend the rest of your day in a tent in your garden counting the stars I will respect you. Most of us won't be. The Arabic world has proved to be largely incapable of civilized conduct by even conservitive standards. The television footage of Arabic men chanting and beating their chests is enough to realize it is perhaps a region of the world still stuck in another era; let alone one I find it exceptable to share. Live and let live is one ideal I hold sacred. The problem is this is yet enough region of the world where this concept is alien. And it is producing fanatics so deluded that God is Islamic, and they're deluded course is somehow 'holy' they are prepared to do their very best to give the rest of world a painful time; and in the same belief 'to enter a martyr's heaven and enjoy pubescent virgins.' Emm. Give me a flame thrower. So yes. I'm in favor of action against these people. Hard and lethal action. None of this can be blammed on action against the Taliban in Afganistan, or securing the world's oil interests in Iraq. 9/11 happened before. Bombs in France went off before. Innocent tourists were being murderdered in the Middle East. What's changed my perspective is that while I can perceive the grim reality of the world's economy, it seems a lot of people haven't, and yell loudly about 'moral standards' and 'ethics,' whilst forgetting their entire ways of life are interwoven in the shoddy and at times deeply murky stagger that to my mind seems to be capitalism. I seem to be fortunate enough to express my views without any concern of punishment, however; which unfortunately seems to be the deal. Bush or Kerry; I couldn't care less! It doesn't touch on the global subject. Edit: Moscow school-hostage scenario; holy warriors eh?

Meanwhile back on Yavin Four... General Dodanna had once more lost the plot. http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0RADlAtoUM9fj7Qdo!Hg3lWMpwu70IET9F35uNbbXFng1sbgRSTPFXbLSgTIBK7tQya*pGfTMY!8PTGCqaGWBjo3AtU3vDbOjM5SsCqIApzY/basilbog.gif

That last one is pure quality... If only you could have seen what I saw this morming out my living room window. It's true, i swear to god! *Bigger evidance *This may in fact not be the truth.

I still know what you did last episode... lol Have a Deckstar.

Err...ummm... Point one sounds fantastic; as long as they're clear and audible! Let me get in the fighter groups first then can route your way. Your wife...For the time being Alliance Taskforce...one needs doing. I'll have a look a the scripts tonight when I get in from my day about 1800 hrs gmt and assemble some misc tactical officer announcements for both of you guys as well...

Respect for the introspection!

Comment noted and acted upon. I moderated myself.

LOL! Get back to work, Manuel!!! And Woo Yay to 3000! (where the hell are these members?) Your blinking has defeated me! SWS? I am not a Spannish waiter...

I suggest you get real and observe the world we all live in before you start mouthing off such lightwieght crap. On what i've quoted you on, France was the subject of terrorist attacks on her subway. Lots of people died. Had you forgotten that?. That's why I have to endure lots of Islamic fascists preaching their filth in the UK. Cause France kicked them out. France is about the most hypacrytical nation in Europe. It had business interests in Iraq, and has them in Sudan where a population are being exterminated. There's loads of oil in Sudan, and the French enjoy the benefits of Sudanese contracts. It kinda takes the edge of their moral humanitarian farce at the UN. With Russia, China and various Islamic countries they''re doing a good job of blocking attempts to bring Sudan to bear and stop the genocide in Dafur or however it's spelt. Your little snowbound country is one of the worst contributor's to global ethics I can think of, with all your secret banks; enabling amongst others third-world rulers misruling their countries to steal and plunder what little they have into secret accounts. No wonder Hitler gave your lot a freehand, him and his Nazi fascist pals had to much to gain letting your banks on the loose. Far more people have died in Sudan than Iraq, but I note an absense of 'anti-war' protesters shouting loudly on our capitals streets . Even less in Islamic counties. Last note. Before you critise America to loudly, read the financial section of a serious newspaper to realize that Europe is ripping off the third world with much more bulk and pace than the United States. That is of course if your attention span extends that far past what you want to see of the world. Edit: Moderated by Jahled.

Err...que?
