  1. Well I get a 9500 Quid fine too, but I get out of prison 7 years earlier than Scsi. I must admit I pleaded not guilty to many of the things which I have done which are only illegal in other countries. I don't subscribe to the US DOJ viev that US law applies globally. Well, they're terribly underpaid, aren't they?

    Fear Not Madame Six! It's only a temporary change in honour of all the Swiss footie fans round here at the minute, terrorising the city with their mobile phones and their copies of Woman's Realm. Calum will be back soon.

    I'm certain you aren't taking the piss Mr. Pulphack. Do let me kmow if you find out anything interesting.

    I thought this was what it was all about. That seems to be the sort of event which gets the British media most excited anyway. Well there's no sign of any sort of discord round here. (Though I hear there was a spot of trouble in Dortmund last week.) Did I mention already how much fun I am having at the moment? It's quite good, this world cup lark.

    I've been wanting to ask that for some time: who is Fred Molenaars, apart from a Dutchman? I've never heard of him and Google only finds DL posts. My guess'd be he's your dentist. regards, Hein OK, there is a perfectly simple explanation for all of this. I have been spelling his name wrongly. He is called Fred Molenaar, not Molenaars. His girlfiend's name is Molenaars, hence the confusion. Fred is one of the foremost philosophers of his generation. The originator of the phrase "a man is not a potato", he was last heard of residing in Belgium. I hope that goes some way towards explaining the mystery that is Fred. PS: My dentist is called Wolfgang and isn't given to philosophical remarks, although he is outstanding in his particular field.

    Philosophy

    Almost. I'm an atheist in the sense that I don't believe in the existance of gods. At the same time I know that the question of whether those things exist is undecided, due to lack of firm evidence, and possibly undicidable. Im that sense I'm an agnostic. I could add a third position as well: I don't care whether gods exist or not. In that sense I'm an apatheist. regards, Hein And there, indeed is the crux of the matter. We have to be prepared to question ourselves and our beliefs. If we have any. Anyone who believes anything with utmost certainty is almost certainly more or less wrong, as Fred Molenaars might have said. In that sense, I'm a Molenaarist, probably.

    It was dead moving to see the Poles and the Ticos celebrating together tonight in perfect harmony. That's what the whole thing is all about isn't it? The Ukranians were in fine voice as well of course.

    Try being a student - it's like one long holiday, but you get paid for it! Being a student was what I did before my holiday. It was quite agreeable at times.

    I have been on holiday for the past fifteen years. I don't expect that to change soon.

    Hi. Just back from another delightful night on the town in Hannover. Just wanted to say how grand I think it is that lots of people of various nationalities are all having a spectacularly good time together. Spent some time withe some Scottish football enthusiasts (again) and slightly more time with some Australians (who are very proud that their team has got further in a World Cup than ever before. ie: won one game). Felt a bit sorry for the solitary Swiss fan mind you. I reckon Switzerland has fewer supporters than Carlisile United,

    "All things bright and beautiful...." Oh never mind. This reminds me of the paradox of Free Jazz which in a way also applies to Anarchy. "There are absolutely no rules, but to play Bourbon Street Parade in the style of Louis Armstrong is clearly against the rules."

    Boah, ey! Just back from the centre of Hannover after Italy's victory here over Ghana. They're still at it down there. Those lads certainly know how to celebrate. Blimey oh and all that. In true DeathList loser style, I bought myself an Argentina shirt in the hope of stimulating the sympathy vote. Might try another tactic tomorrow...

    Near misses 2006

    Blimey! There's one we missed. That leaves only Karlheinz Stockhausen alive from that bunch. He recently finished his Magnum Opus to critical dismay, but doesn't look like he's going to drop anytime soon.

    That store was such a success, they opened a similar store for men to get women. On the first floor you find women who like having sex. No man has ever yet visited the second floor.

    Sounds like a good basis for an alternative history. "What if Laura hadn't killed Michael?" A.p.p. de Al-z, further investigation on my part reveals that he was a murdering loonie (though genocidal is pushing it a bit, Donnie- did you really say that?) whose demise leaves the world better off. So as Fred so rightly implied, both guys are bad. PS: CP: novels?

    Renate? Did he have a drag act, too? Apparently Deutscher smoked 4 packs of ciggies a day. Allowing time off for sleep and eating, that's about one every 5 minutes. I'm reliably informed that he took a hell of a bucket as well.

    On the other hand, If Bush were assasinated tomorrow, I'd be among the first to say "good riddance", Does that make me a hypocrite?

    Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi

    Well said *+'d! I had been feeling pretty disquieted about the number of "good riddance" posts since this man's death. Until we know something about him which we haven't heard from the Western Media, we'd do well to be a little less unconditionally judgemental about someone who died for something he believed in. Sometimes both guys are bad. -Fred Molenaars

    Not Exactly Famous...

    Some of you may remember nearly a year ago when I reported the sad demise of Blake's 7 actor David Jackson. Well they have finally got around to making a fitting memorial to the great man. In other news, scriptwriter Allan Prior who created Z-Cars and also wrote scripts for B7 is no more.

    Football

    Aye but those wee guys can turn quickly and they can run like hell. A bit like a whole team of Archie Gemmils if you get my meaning. (Hein will no doubt remember wee Archie quite well.) Mind you Kaji took a heavy kicking from Schweinsteiger in the Germany-Japan preparatory game last week and probably won't be fit for similar treatment by Australia. I had the pleasure of attending said game. A couple of moments of good football from the Japanese, but I honestly wouldn't fancy either Japan or Germany's chances against any proper football team. So yes Handy, having Japan is bad. I see they have Brazil is in their group too.
