Weekly Midpoint

Yes, the inspiration for titles is already used up this week LOL. Work was good, SGR showed that she had listened to me yesterday, asked how V was and whether I had spoken to her since Monday evening's argument. Yay me lol, SGR is eye candy central at the moment - too bad she is taken LOL. And ASI, one of the few remaining from my recruitment group, asked me how V was going, and whether I was cutting off other options - I had to confirm what she had said - 'well you are a good person and I would hate for you to be cutting your options off, you deserve a good relationship' - quoted verbatim. Geez LOL, my low self esteem recoiled at that one let me tell you :)

Hmm, Britain is in the middle of a nightmare scenario. It does appear that the attacks in London were suicide bombings, and not only that, the perpetrators were born and bred Brits, although of Pakistani descent, and seemingly middle class as well. Now the police operation is trying to track down the bombers associates and masterminds behind the attacks. Three of them caught the train from Leeds to Luton to meet up with the fourth, and then caught on CCTV at Kings Cross station at 8.30 on Thursday morning.

News all over the place at the moment - just an article on the news at the moment about the Supreme Court vacancy in Washington DC. Conservative and liberal pressure groups are just going to get more and more feral I am sure LOL - just given a short view of some of the ads and campaigns and hmmph even though I am more liberal than conservative (though basically mainly anti-Bush) I am just sick and tired of these culture wars. If only I could resist reading as many international newspapers as I do...

And Australia is sending another set of troops - 100 special forces, approx 50 engineers - to Afghanistan. But only for one year mind LOL, as if Afghanistan will be fixed up by this time next year - and the Iraqi contingent (of Australian troops) is there until the job gets done. If I were in power - of course, with the little REAL information I currently have - I would put a time limit on the Iraq thing and let Afghanistan be ongoing. And I am sure the armed forces over here are in recruitment overdrive...

Later peeps
Paul
