Do you want to be able to post to this crazy website?

If so give me your email address.

G, you really need to learn how to make links. I edited that last one so that visitors don't have to cut and paste.

what a big screw-up

I had a feeling from the beginning that this was a big screw-up.

Police chief Sir Ian Blair has apologised to the family of the Brazilian man shot dead by police in south London on Friday.

And read this!

He said the death of Jean Charles de Menezes was a "tragedy", but admitted more people could be shot as police hunt suspected suicide bombers.


So basically this poor Brazilian guy got killed because he ran away from a couple of people (wearing plain clothes) who pulled a gun on him. It turns out that these people were officers.

It’s interesting also reading back the account of the events by a witness:

‘He looked like a Pakistani, he had a baseball cap on, and quite a thickish coat. It was a coat like you would wear in winter, a sort of padded jacket. It looked out of place in the weather we've been having.’

The poor Brazilian was used to the 40 degrees of Rio, that’s why he was wearing a ‘quite a thickish coat’ in the HOT 20 degrees weather of London !

... and talking about lies...

... here's one from Tony.

'They will never succeed in destroying what we hold dear' said Tony Blair, in the wake of the "barbaric" attack in London.

Mark Whitby, was in the carriage at Stockwell station where yesterday police shot dead a suspect:
‘He sort of tripped but they were hotly pursuing him and couldn't have been more than two or three feet behind him at this time. He half-tripped, was half-pushed to the floor. The policeman nearest to me had the black automatic pistol in his left hand, he held it down to the guy and unloaded five shots into him. He's dead, five shots, he's dead.’

Ok...

...I lied, Mike is indeed leading with 674 wives.

However, I told the truth when I said that I love big trucks.

Alexis don't listen to their lies

I lead with 674 wives.

Hey Alexis, a small update about my life: I'm happily married with one kid, Brigitte. She is now 6 year-old. Her parents were not that happy when we got married, but hey, you know, age is just a number.

Ciao Alexis!!!!

Alexis!!!!
what's up?? still in Austin?

Summer travels...

So, what's everyone been up to this summer? I've been to the Vineyard, up to Squam Lake in New Hampshire, but nothing much else. I am heading down to the Outer Banks in NC for Labor Day and that's about all......
