GORDONS ALIVE!

It's been about 2 months since my last post on this thing, excuses range from Christmas, lack of PC, laziness and generally not knowing what to write. But from what I've heard a few people are suffering the same.

Quite a bit has happened since I last bothered to write anything, there was Christmas and New Year in Italy, which was fantastic, and very relaxing, the highlight being the chance to watch the Cereto local team playing at home, in a top of the table clash.

There has also been significant developments on the purchase of the flat front, and hopefully everything will be settled within a month or so, and we'll be the happy owners of a wicked new place. Well, a converted 100 year old pub anyway.

Personally I've got my 30th Birthday coming up soon, which although I'd intended to be a Madchester style indie revival, has because of financial constraints (assholes trying to make loads of money out of your joyful experiences) has now been reduced to a regular party in a bar, called ZenSai.

Hopefully a few old friends will make it, and I'm sure they'll all get on, I just hope I survive the night. Which is also my final night of being a smoker, which I'm both excited about, and dreading.

So, that's all I can muster for the time being, nothing that'll change the course of human history, but at least you know a little bit more than you did before, unless I've already told you this personally in which case I'm just going over old tad and should have just kept my mouth shut.

CIAO FOR NOW!

(that reminds me, I'm studying Italian again, and I'm still rubbish)

Go Figure?

Supporting US Industry

The Chemical Industry

It would almost make you laugh, if not for the appalling realities which the Iraqi victims, both military and civilian must have gone through as a result of the usage of these weapons, which 95% of the world has ratified as being an acceptable in combat.

Part of the reason the Iraqi people were 'liberated', was because their tyrannical leader had used chemical weapons the Kurds, so the irony of the US Military resorting to, and originally denying use of, white phosphorus, is little more than amazing.

Obviously no war can be free of pain and suffering, that's the nature of the beast, but there are ethical lines that can be drawn, and history has shown, and continues to show that the US has no problems with repeatedly crossing those lines, while stamping on them along the way.

I'd imagine a story like this would generate a few more thousand disaffected souls, who will now rise up against the Western Oppressor, and we should see another increase in militant action.

If ever a job could be botched, the US authorities really know how to botch it good!

LOOK OVER THERE!

Football Team Blog

It's close to going live, and I'm fairly pleased with how things have turned out, but I'm awaiting confirmation from our Sponsors that they're happy for me to continue, but hopefully now the title has changed it shouldn't be a problem.

You'll be able to keep track of our progress, and comment on what you see.

Obviously I'll be linking from this blog in the near future.

Sweet

This is getting better, and better, and better!

Huge defeat in the league, a captain tearing his teammates to pieces, an attempted cover up, and now a defeat in Europe.

Pinch me I'm dreaming. Now all we need is Chelsea to get pipped by Betis in the other group, and the gods of football will have balanced a few things out.

Coooooooooooooz WE...

HATE MAN U AND WE HATE MAN U, WE HATE MAN U AND WE HATE MAN U, WE HATE MAN U AND WE HATE MAN U, WE ARE THE MAN U, HATERS!

Lovely

Right or Wrong?

This weekend was my dad's 60th Birthday, which gave me an oppotunity to chat to some of his old friends, and also some family members I don't get to see very often. Obviously it was a lovely evening which went really well and everyone had a great time, but from the chats I noticed something, or at least I developed a theory anyway.

You get more Right-Wing, the older you get.

This doesn't bode well for where Andy might end up politically!

But it surprised me how the views of those people over 50 seemed to have hardened, perhaps from personal experience, or maybe from reading the Daily Mail to often, either way it was an interesting phenomenon to observe, if a little disheartening.

It's something that's only happening to my parents generation either, I've also noticed some elements of Rightwing thought being expressed by my peers, who for the main are a liberal thinking and fairly easy going, maybe we're maturing too soon?
