Did I Mention...?
Posted Apr 27, 2005
Did I mention that 3 weeks ago an end was put the question whether I'd committed ABH and what was going to be done about it and what that conclusion was?

The Downfall...
Posted Apr 20, 2005
I saw this film Thursday last... It was absolutely superb. I can't remember the last time I saw a film with such power. Hitler - his madness, the Nazi mentatlity the bloody saveragery of the war all stuningly portrayed. Reminded me at points of the Mask Of The Red Death. As Hitlers close afiliates danced whilst the SS executed civilians suspected of deafeatism or soviet leanings and the Hitler youth was left to fight the red army as it over ran Berlin.
I lso saw the Machinest the other week and that was also muchly enjoyable...
But I do insist, sincerely, that if you've not seen 'The Downfall' do so at the first opertune moment.
By the bye, I arrived late for the showing of The Downfall so I decided to watch something else as I waited, so I saw Constantine, to judge it for myself... It was as astonishingly bad as I both expected and heard it to be. I hadn't walked out on a film since Hope Springs [a rather awful romantic comedy], I will say that this for it though, the CGI visuals for hell did look like they had come from a a superior metal band music video... But the only real highlight of the film for me was when A Perfect Circle's 'Passive' was used on 5the soundtrack.

Letters...
Posted Apr 13, 2005
Downlands has sent me a letter, they say they hope to be able to offer me a one bedroom flat just a few streets away from where I live now sometime between the end of the month and the end of may depending if the property needs any repairs and the like.
I lost a letter I had put in my pocket to post on my way past the post box just few a hundred yards from my door. I walked right past that post box, but reached into my pocket at the next one and Vanished was the envelope, despite retracing my steps carefully, no sign of it... feel a right twit. Can only hope someone picked it up and dropped into a post box, rather than it being binned or taken by a magpie... had stuff in it about my circumstances, identity, place on the housing register and benefits etc...
Haven't been around much and won't be for a while... no internet acess apart from at the library at the mo, a maybe until I'm moved in a set up in this little flat.
Take care...

The Gift Of Laughter...
Posted Mar 27, 2005
The first link is a letter I'd seen before in response to somethings said by a "loon" in Canada. I'm sure I've bored with links to similar before, but meh!

The second site appears to written with absolute sincerity. Which makes the author a complete "loon", because if he really read all those books he references he can't blame it on beinga late developer.

Still both have made me laugh.
