The (Insert locality of your choice) Peace Process.

I'm sick of hearing about idiots who are only interested in shooting one another, blowing up buses airports etc,etc,etc and generally wasting oxygen on their pathetic existences. Pick one champion. Arm him (I assume no woman would be so stupid) to the teeth and set him adrift on a specially constructed battle platform in the middle of the Atlantic with the dreaded enemy. Whoever is hosing their opponent off the concrete at the end of the day wins. Anybody who wants to disagree goes one on one with the champ until there's no one left to fight. Simple, cheap and potentially entertaining. Just think, we could solve overpopulation and chronic boredom in one go, and the Natural Selection buffs would have a field day. One thing that bothers me is that most plebs can't even locate the countries their so called loved ones are dying in.

Shopping Trolleys.

Just who is responsible for the invention of shopping trolleys? While video recorders, microwaves and other basic household appliances remain a mystery to the majority of the population, thankfully most of you have access to children to program them for you. Shopping trolleys are a different matter entirely. All the kids want to do with these is hang off them and crash them into cheese displays. Unless you want to look like a total loser carting those dinky baskets around (not a good look for the chaps; might as well tattoo "Nobody would have a relationship with me even if I was the last guy on earth" but it probably wouldn't fit) so you've got to struggle and curse with the rest of us. If all terrain bomb proof vehicles that can travel over sand and through water can be designed and built, why can't anyone come up with a steerable trolley? I haven't read Divine Comedy for a while, but I'm sure that Dante must have outlined a place in Hell for Shopping Trolley Designers. (And whatever idiot orginally thought bumper stickers were a good idea.)

Magna EXEC - or Volvo

What is it with these people? In Australia and around the world, Volvo drivers have a reputation for eratic and frustrating driving habits and are treated with the uttmost fear and usually derision for their notorious driving reputation. In Australia, we don't see many Volvos... thankfully we are a LONG way away from Sweden but the law of supply and demand dictates that this hole needs to be filled by something. This "something" seems to be the Magna Executive. I have observed of late a disturbing trend in Magna drivers. I cannot understand why the drivers of these zippy sedans with large engines insist on driving at least 20 km under the speed limit. What is the point of buying a car with so much grunt if you're going to drive it like a golf buggy? I am becoming quite paranoid about these people. I am trying to tell Cilonda to sell hers to avoid getting a bad reputation, but then she knows that the signs on the side of the road indicate a limit not a speed to aspire to. While we're on the subject of Volvos, is it a good thing that the St Petersburg Police have switched from Ladas to Volvos?

And the Komplaint about this Article:

It's about the Magna thing. I am not a bad driver, just because I have had a smashed left front blinker since June, does not mean I am a bad driver. Once I even did 130 in a 110 zone. Please don't compare me to a Volvo driver. Besides, mine's not an executive, as I am a mere pleb. My other car is a Klingon Bird of Prey. He he.

Hmm.

Cilonda's Corner
Oh. So you're tired of being insulted are you? Fancy a sugar overload? Well, this is the bit for you. Just keep this nice stuff away from me. It could be contagious.

And now for a little poetry...

When We Two Parted - Lord Byron

When we two parted
In silence and tears
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow -
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me -
Why wert thou so dear?
They knew not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:-
Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met -
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit decieve.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee! -
With silence and tears.
