OK... Slightly premature... Wishing all of you get all you wish for at Christmas and in the new year.

Its the usual Brit thing... Great concept, lousy timing Beagle won't find life on Mars. It's landing on Christmas day. Obviously ALL the Martians will be at home opening their pressies and too busy to go out and meet the spaceship. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Who remembers Hughie Green and his "pop" song "Stand up and be counted" Basically, the bold Hughie was a VERY succesful TV presenter in the UK in the 1970's (so for starters we're right there in the decade that taste forgot). Hughie's big fan base was among the grey hair & blue rinse brigade (not your usual single buyers). Thirdly he was seriously right wing & (nuke the commies, Hitler was a bit of a pinko, etc...). Fourthly, the song was a political rant for a return to the "good old days" when policeman saluted "nice" people and hung strikers and jay-walkers who stepped out in front of nice people's cars. Of course the single sold in the many thousands, bought by people who liked that nice man on the telly... So... It climbed up the charts, got a lot of radio air time (no swear words so it went straight past the censors), and it provided us Brits with the spectacle of our most successful TV presenter's career going down faster than Paris Hilton on fast forward scan.

For all of you who want to know what was really said... --------- BEGIN TRANSCRIPT --------- December 13, 2003. Soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division have found the "spider hole" in which Saddam Hussein has been hiding. SGT. MARK MURRAY: This is the United States Army. Whoever you are, we know you're down there. Come out right now or we will open fire! SADDAM: Don't shoot! I am Saddam Hussein. MURRAY: President Bush sends his regards. SADDAM: That's nice of him. How's Georgie been? MURRAY: He's good. The swelling’s gone down. He says he's sorry he hasn't called. SADDAM: He's not still sore about the time I tried to kill his dad, is he? MURRAY: Not at all. Jesus Christ, that is the filthiest shithole I’ve ever seen. SADDAM: It’s the maid’s day off. MURRAY: Are those rats down there with you all the time? SADDAM: They mostly come at night. Mostly. MURRAY: Mr. Hussein, we are taking you into custody. I need you to leave your weapon on the ground and come out of the hole. SADDAM: No! I am the President of Iraq and I wish to negotiate. MURRAY: We're not going to negotiate. SADDAM: If you will not negotiate, I will never come out. MURRAY: We'll see about that. SADDAM: What, do you plan to use force? Do you think you and your heavily armed infantry are any match for an old man in a hole with a pistol? MURRAY: [Under his breath] Shit! He's got us by the balls. [To Saddam] Mr. Hussein, I need to talk to my C.O. SADDAM: Don't try anything funny! I've got you cornered! MURRAY: Just don't shoot. I'm putting down my weapon. SADDAM: I want to see your hands! [Murray exchanges a few words with his commanding officer, Capt. Roger Kozlowski, and then speaks again to Saddam.] MURRAY: All right, Mr. Hussein, you win. If you come out, we will spare your life and give you full immunity from your crimes against humanity. SADDAM: What crimes? I haven't gassed anybody in years. MURRAY: Didn’t you build weapons of mass destruction with the intention of using them on innocent people? SADDAM: Yes, but it's all right, I had – MURRAY: – yeah yeah yeah, you had Subway for lunch. SADDAM: How did you know? MURRAY: And didn't you also torture thousands of Iraqis in order to intimidate your enemies and maintain your iron grip on power? [Pause.] SADDAM: That depends on your definition of "torture." MURRAY: We're willing to forgive all that, but we want you to tell us what you did with those weapons of mass destruction. SADDAM: I sold them to North Korea. I gave the profits to a mysterious and powerful figure who supports my cause. He is a dangerous and terrifying man who will one day destroy America. [Pause.] MURRAY: Howard Dean? SADDAM: Enough! If I agree to come out, what will I get in exchange? MURRAY: I told you, we’re offering you immunity. We promise that you won’t be tried and executed. SADDAM: Unacceptable! I want $10 million and a villa in the south of France. And a razor. [Pause.] SADDAM: Gillette Sensor, if you please. With the comfort strip. MURRAY: Out of the question. SADDAM: I'm warning you, I have a cell phone. Shall I call CNN? I'm sure they'd love to film this little debacle. MURRAY: Go ahead, call them. SADDAM: I see that you are wearing an arm patch. What does it say? MURRAY: Um, it says "Arizona Cardinals." It’s a football team. SADDAM: I see. And you would want all the television viewers in America to know that you are a Cardinals fan? MURRAY: Damn you, Saddam Hussein! SADDAM: You have a patch on your other arm, too. What is the meaning of 'Pacino Division?' MURRAY: It's not important. What do you want? SADDAM: If you want me to come out, you will have to make more concessions. I wish to be on a reality TV show. MURRAY: Which one? SADDAM: The one with the porn star. [Pause.] MURRAY: There’s one with a porn star now? SADDAM: And I want a guarantee that I'll win and get to marry her. MURRAY: No way. We’re Americans. Every contestant deserves an equal chance to nail the porn star. SADDAM: I've got bin Laden on speed dial. I'm sure I can talk him into attacking the United States. He has operatives in New Jersey with an explosive device that can reduce the entire state to a heap of smoldering rubble. [Pause.] MURRAY: And? SADDAM: I can also call the New York Times and take out an ad giving away the ending to "Lord of the Rings." MURRAY: You wouldn't dare! SADDAM: Wouldn't I? MURRAY: You don't know how it ends. You're bluffing! SADDAM: After Frodo makes it to the top of Mount Doom, Gollum tries to - MURRAY: Stop! [To Capt. Kozlowski] He'll do it, that crazy bastard. We're in over our heads here. KOZLOWSKI: We’d better call the boss. MURRAY: Mr. Hussein, I'm going to contact the White House and tell President Bush about your offer. SADDAM: Go ahead. And tell him I want my ‘Sex in the City’ DVD back. [There is a long pause as Murray speaks to President Bush via satellite phone.] MURRAY: Mr. Hussein, the President has rejected your offer. We are giving you two options. Either you come up and surrender unconditionally... SADDAM: Or? MURRAY: Or we leave you here, bring the entire Army home, and leave you in charge of this fucked-up, steaming shitpile of a country. [Pause.] SADDAM: Hang on, I'm getting a ladder. --------- END TRANSCRIPT --------- Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

Hi DJ, Not quite. Spywareblaster is a complement to Spybot - it doesn't get all the stuff that Spybot does, but the advantage is that once it's loaded it stops the spyware getting in in the first place rather than waiting for you to run spybot to clean the stuff out. It was Partick Kolla, the author of Spybot that pointed me to Spywareblaster... So I know it's good. If you have faith in Spybot (which you should), then have the same faith in Spywareblaster. Obviously both will run together. Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Hi all, I know some of you use Spybot... Here's a complementary program (endorsed by Spybot's creator Partick Kolla). It's called Spywareblaster. Get it at: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html I've been using it for a couple of weeks & it comes highly recommended as an active protection spyware destroyer Mike.

Personally I think it was a good speech with a couple of the fundamental points well made... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35698 ...

OK. Here we go again... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/humber/3278089.stm A 24-year-old man has been arrested by police investigating the death of skydiver Stephen Hilder. Mr Hilder plunged 13,000 feet to his death at Hibaldstow airfield in North Lincolnshire, on 4 July after both his main and reserve parachutes were sabotaged. The 20-year-old army cadet had been taking part in a skydiving competition. The man was arrested in Leeds at 0800 GMT on Monday on suspicion of murder and a separate offence of criminal damage. He is being questioned by detectives at Scunthorpe police station. The arrest is the third made by Humberside Police during the investigation. Two of Mr Hilder's friends, Adrian Blair and David Mason, both 19, were questioned and released on bail on 24 October. A police spokesman said Mr Hilder's family had been made aware of the latest arrest. Also... http://www.itv.com/news/1516249.html The man was arrested at 8am in Leeds and taken to Scunthorpe Police Station. Two weeks ago, detectives investigating Mr Hilder's death said they were speaking to members of Leeds University skydiving club who regularly use Hibaldstow Airfield. A spokeswoman said she could not confirm whether the arrested man was a member of the club. She said no further details of the arrest would be released. Again, more news as it comes... Mike.

Err... I just licked my elbow, front and lateral side. Hang on a bit while I stretch & loosen up... ... ... Right! Got the bony bit at the back of my elbow It's a bit of a stretch, and having suitably long tongue helps, but once you suss the completely illogical technique it's not that hard. Mike.

Yeah... Sure... Our Royal Family has a long tradition of taking out injunctions to silence nutters. It wasn't one of the "gutter tabloids" that was going to print. It was the sunday edition of a well respected, even somewhat Right Wing & conservative newspaper. The "Nutter" (as described by the royals) was a former soldier and veteran of the Flaklands Conflict. He did suffer post traumatic stress syndrome. his "history of false allegation" was his complaint of homosexual rape while in HRH's service anfd the first thing Charles did in investigating this allegation was to sack the victim! Then hold an "internal" enquiry which has already been castigated. Still. I suppose it all depends on your overall opinion of the Royal Family. Mike.

Amen... still... It comes in handy when you're already pi$$ed out of your skull and really can't face another real beer, It's also useful if you've run out of cleaning stuff to pour down the toilet (and Shiner Bock isn't sold where you live)... Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable. Prenait la pisse hors du FrançaisCanadiens méridionaux puisqu'avant lui à la mode.

Not true! HRH the Prince of Wales has assured us that he's never done anything like that... Whatever "That" is - he won't allow us to know. HRH believes that the British public will swallow his denial... This belief is understandable since his servants have been swallowing for years. Mike.

MS optical trackball. The only way to go! At least the damn thing is always in the same place for my hand and you don't roll off the edge of the mat. Mike.

YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!!. TELL ME NOW... Please? Then again I suspect you lie... at least until you can get out to the nearest 7/11 and get a copy of the National Enquirer. The worst of it is that by first getting an injunction, THEN issuing a denial, He's instantly given at least credence (and I think full corroboration and credibility) to the allegation. Whatever it is!? Let's face it... If he'd bang camilla in anything other than absolute darkness and NOT face to face then he'd hit ANYTHING... And those footmen do wear damn attractive tight trousers... I'm reminded of the whole "Spycatcher" debacle (Yes, Spycatcher is still banned from publication in this country.... And yes, I've got a copy). I'm now hoping for some disgruntled antipodean descendant of a convict (or similar first amendment minded good samaritan) blasting some much needed icy truth into our cosy little island again. Mike.

Hmmm... Child of the eighties personally... But if I were to pick an "Album of the Nineties", I'd be torn between "Crazy World" by The Scorpions from a European perspective. Then again, "Nimrod" by Green Day. Both overall excellent albums, each with at least one fundamental and completely unforgettable track. I defy anyone to listen to "Winds of Change" from The Scorpions, or "Good Riddance" from Green day and not be moved by either. Mike.

OK. This just in: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3249031.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3249069.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/2843499.stm So... In short, the big-eared arse bandit of Wales has issued a denial of whatever he's been granted an injunction preventing the publication of. Of course, this injunction would ONLY apply to the UK, so I suspect that before long the "furrin & former colonial" press will pounce on this like a pack of wolves. In effect all you folk "out there will know all about it while in the (Y)UK we're being kept well in the dark (no doubt for our own good & continued obeiscence). SO... If anyone out there knows what the baldy Camilla buggerer has "allegedly" done, and is currently denying, please let me know. Rest assured I'll keep it as secret as it should be. Mike.

Oh gosh NO!!!!! He killed almost 50 women, and you think that his single death would atone? Where is your true sense of sadism & punishment people? I've always been against the death penalty. In this case I'd like him to live a long and painful life. Perhaps while in prison he could try another career... say... "PROFESSIONAL BLOOD & ORGAN DONOR". I remember the Nazi's in Germany, in proposing their "Final Solution" wanting to ensure that they derived the maximum economic benefit in the course of the genocide... Some fundamental medical research (particularly into high altitude survival and exposure survival) was done in the course of inhuman experiments by the Nazis on Jews. Experiments that cannot be repeated or built on because we don't have human guinea pigs that are viewed as so surplus today..... Or do we? Mike.

You know something, I'm frankly unsure whether "FOX NEWS" or "SENATE INTELLIGENCE" is the bigger contradiction in terms. Shouldn't both parties just get back to doing what they do best. In the case of Fox News, they should just get back to being the butt of half the jokes in The Simpsons. In the case of the Senate, haven't they got some factfinding mission to organise? Somewhere warm and sunny at this time of year? Somewhere with easily impressed & compliant native girls?... Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

So... If it was $11KK new, how much now it's second-hand? AND has it been boil-washed since Heidi Klum wore it!!?? It'd be worth TWO people ordering it, just to see the VS Mail-Order Dept squirm. ANyway, if you dial the toll-free number you probably getsome recorded message along the lines of "If you are Bill Gates, Rgroper, or some similar person who actually HAS $11 mil, please press 1, otherwise feck off!" So you press 1, and the message changes to "you feckin liar. I thought i told you to hang up." Like everyone else (and every other sane person in the world, I can think of a couple of better things to spend the $11KK on... Like a couple of square miles of Montana on the shore of a lake, Property between Phoenix & Tucson (for the winters), and a little something to get around in.
