To be honest I haven't got time to spend trawling round or to worry about it. The film was spot on. Pirates of Caribbean 3. the only thing was that L had not seen no2 so there was abit of explaining to do. shiver me timbers. Sally - I didn’t find anything on these papers sites.

More fool us really! Was the film good? I think they look at blogs for inspiration…… but they probably wouldn’t employ any of us. More fool us really!

Brigitte. Thank you for your message. find it odd that newspapers should have nothing better to do than look at blogs, or more to the point my blog. As for being funny and sensitive, whilst very flattered, I am not sure I would agree. Thank you for telling me. DL - I will post the story next week.

I understand from my sister that you are famous. Apparently one of the braodsheets thinks you are one of the funniest yet most sensative blogs around. I think it is the Guardian but it could be the Independent. I will try and find out and let you know. Uncle Norman. I understand from my sister that you are famous.

I forget the date exactly, but going back to around 1913 there were in fact about 450,000 British troops stationed in Iraq. I think it was Winston Churchill who had the Marvellous idea of lumping all those warring tribes together in the first place. Funnily enough the only person to have brought real stability to this nut house of region was Saddam Hussein. Granted he brought them into line using brute force, but he kept the place peaceful far better than Bush democracy by invasion. I feel sorry for the troops on the ground, they are really up against it and really get the shaft. I do have an interesting story which might shine a light on why the yanks were so keen to invade Iraq and why they have a beady little eye on Iran. It is quite involved so I will try to post it in the next week or so if anyone is interested. I will let you into a little secret. It has fuck all to do with oil. Dan dan dahhh - thats supposed to be suspense type music. DL- Modern Iraq has always been a military problem.

It’s always surprises me, the number of people who claim to be ex-Special Forces. The shame is, however organised or otherwise the bad guys may be, their organisations have only come together in response to the US-UK invasion/occupation. We have created the monster. I remember just before the allied invasion, GWB standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier in Maryland saying words along the lines of, “the turrurrsts brought the war to us; now we’re taking it right back to them”. Yeah, right. My judgement would be pretty well in line with your own, in respect of the nature of both the good guys and the bad guys out there.
