“I’ve nothing much to offer
There’s nothing much to take
I’m an absolute beginner
But I’m absolutely sane”

One of my all time favourite quotes: “Ah the smell
of the tuareg campires…”

“…unmistakeable!…”

LOL!! :-)

“Shoo! Piss off!”

I could post about games but I’m still playing
(and getting my ass kicked) at Hardcore level in
Open Arena.
I could post about politics/philosophics but the
local leftist mindset is just too dense to understand
individual freedom.
I could post about business but I’m going “under
the radar” on that.
I could post about books but I’m still reading the
last book from the queue and waiting for xmas gifts.
I could post about music but its the old same old.
I could post about technology but I’m just too fed
up with it.

Luckily a two week holiday has started. Posting will
be sporadic. Perhaps next week; perhaps next year…
