Farewell Mike, ya crazy old bastard!

In the same vein have a look at Jeremy Scahill's Dirty Wars.

I've been wearing 2 jumpers, so it must be the rest of you.

Five years ago, some oil market speculators became convinced that the world was nearing the limits of oil production. Sometime soon -- the 2010s? the 2020s? -- oil production would begin a long steady decline. Think again. World oil production continues to rise. Leading the oil renaissance: the Uni...

I hope my corpse stinks so bad that the neighbours complain about the Chinese takeaway up the road.

This is my 12v back up I know it's not a deep cycle leisure battery, but maintaining one of them is something I'd probably forget. The battery booster on the other hand gets charged once a month. I use it for pumping up tyres and when I go out off road it comes with me. If like me your neighbours a...

Fine for small game but wouldn't do much damage to grown adult man. Can get ones more powerful but would need licen...

My local co-op doesn't even sell brown bread!

Locals only want white bread, cheap cider and fags.

I just finished watching Zero Dark 30 and there is a lot of torture in there. All justified in the search of OBL of course. There's a part of the film where they lament the passing of easy torture, laws and human rights caught up with even the CIA.

Apparently British officials/soldiers killed almost twenty-seven thousand women and children in Africa: http://www.geni.com/projects/British-Concentration-Camps-of-the-South-African-War-1900-1902/854 That article quotes around another 15 000 Africans who died in the camps, but recent figures estima...

Needs more vodka to be palatable.

The only problem with that is when someone starts taking it seriously . Or are you looking forward to playing the Clint Eastwood type hero, and coming to the rescue?

Hell no, you're all on your own.
