Can you guess where it is yet?

I was so wrong

When I was at University of Greenwich, I lived with a greek guy called giorgos (hope I spelt that right).
He's a great bloke (yeah of course he's lazy) but he is into his conspiracies.

About 4 or so years ago me and him had a small disagreement about the way the world was going.

I was of the opinion that the world in which we lived was becoming more tolerant and a safer place.

He couldn't believe what I was saying , warning me of 10 years of hell which would end in a sort of final battle.

I dismissed this out of hand.

Where did it all go wrong?

I trully believed that we were going in the right direction and that the increased understanding between the different cultures and religions of this planet could only lead to peace and harmony.

It never entered into my head that all of this would happen.

So george was right.

I just hope that he was only partly right.

Purely Factual

John Tyndall , founder member of the BNP was found dead at his home in Hove.

Sussex police say that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.

Human Spirit

The following website is probably old hat to some of you internet people but if you're not aware of it go to this site.

If you ever need an example of the human spirit in the face of extreme adversity you need look no further.

Set up by some English bloke , just hours after the London Bombings this website features hundreds of photos from people around the world all of which contain the basic but profound statement.

WE ARE NOT AFRAID.

A Sad Day

We all knew it was coming but it was still a shock.

The only friend i know who was in London at the time is unhurt which is great.

Others were not so lucky.

A sad day.

I don't really get the Arts coz I'm more of a sport lover, but every now and again something attracts my attention.

For example , I totally love The Scream by Edvard Munch and Fur Elise by Beethoven.

I'm also a massive fan of Kiplings "If" since Des Lynams astonishing recital to clips of the 1998 World Cup.

But apart from that , arty farty stuff rarely floats my boat.

Recently though, my friend from work, David What a cool suname Jones, sent me a link from the Winners Gallery of the 2005 World Press photo of the year comp.

You can see all photos here.

There are some absolute crackers.

Many reflect political matters and human suffering from around the globe but my favourite one can be found by clicking on 2005 Gallery winners in the middle grey area at the bottom, and then by going to the swimming photo bottom left. (Sorry it's so complicated but the original link doesn't seem to work).

Reminds me of that crap "what do you call a man" joke.
