Be careful what you wish for…
When I was younger I desired to travel more by train. I was thinking of great journeys across Russia and China. I now travel to London a lot on Virgin Trains. I resent the implication that if I’d visualised more carefully I’d now be on my way to Moscow.

Natural = goodness
Erm... Bubonic plague, botulism, anthrax, smallpox ... all natural.

Democracy, aka the rule of the majority.
Also known as 'we outnumber you so we'll do it our way',
a favourite policy of invading armies and waves of fast
breeding immigrants and other pests.

Seen on BBC Whirled News tonight:
"There is no racism among Polish or Ukranian football fans
and the upcoming games should be free of violence."
Reminded me of LookMa I'maDinnerJacket speaking in the US
a couple of years ago:
"We have no homosexuality in Iran."

The documentary was hilarious. Hundreds of fans giving the Nazi salute and shouting "Sieg Heil" *on camera* and the chief of police says "They were just pointing, waving at the opposition" 
Having said that, I suspect the usual BBC tripe. They said the same about Holland before the Euros there and the claptrap they came out with about South Africa was astonishing. All of their scaremongering turned out to be unfounded.
Do you think we'll see any reporting of the increase in violent muggings in London during the BBCLympics? I think not
