Think I'll Pack it in and Buy a Pick Up...
It's 10:45pm, Sunday 10th July and I'm currently sat on my patio listening to Neil Young on th'iPod, sucking on a can of Oranjeboom, and becoming increasingly aware of a local barby getting more boisterous by the second whilst breathing in the evening summer fragrancies. Oh to be in England.....It turns out that a lad from our part of the world is missing after travelling down to that there London and catching the wrong tube train at the wrong time on the wrong day. I guess there is a slight chance that he is comatose in some hospital somewhere, but something tells me he's part of the profoundly diverse human soup underneath the streets of London.
Looks like 70 went the way of all flesh on Thursday: Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jew Agnostic and Atheist - all blasted to Kingdom come - which, I guess, is precisely where the warped twats who perpetrated this atrocity are hoping to end up once they reach terrorist retirement age.
White folk in the pubs round here are once again claiming that "mates of mates" heard Pakistanis and Bangladeshis cheering in North Manchester as news of this latest disgrace fitered through. Exactly the same rumours were expoused by the same people after 9/11. I don't think so. Do you? Why would any human being cheer this type of action?
Let's not fall for the "they're all as bad as each other" argument for pity's sake, because "they" ain't. Full stop.
Yesterday was a barbecue at Eldest's as we watched the local cricket team win their third game on the trot to drag themselves off the bottom of the table. A lovely day - although I did drink a teensy-weensy bit too much. Hard to believe I know but there you go.
It was "flag day". Eldest and a few of his mates have clubbed together to but a massive St George's flag with "MACEDONIA ULTRAS" on it. Macedonia being the name of the cricket team and ulatras being the fanatical (Fascist) supporters of Italian teams like Lazio.
Except the flag maker spelt it wrong and Macedonia ended up as Macidonia. We argued it was the Mancunian pronunciation and before the next match we'll finish off properly and rewrite it as: "MACIDONIOH!".
Sorted. Nice one.

I agree. That's why I've not given up on WASPs. There are some good ones.
