Poignant moment

Still lurking on umra, then?

 

How can it be, when you implied that my response made you think of '
toadying and trying to be "right-on"' ? In fact, in the same response,
when I wrote that I didn't wish to offend, you replied <aside: Jesus, now
it's a tall, willowy blonde who's just sat down at the PC next to me...>
that you didn't believe me <aside: now a petite brunette .. her eyes, her
eyes!!>. So I'm either trying to suck up to other UKRMers, or else I don't
give a shit (the latter is in fact more 'right-on' than I could ever hope
to be).

Actually, I copped out. I rode to SO's, scoffed a packet of Pringles
whilst she wasn't there, and then got drunk.

I should have enrolled here: this year's 'crop' is most pleasing to the
eye.

 

I never did get my cheque from Microsoft.

 

"You dirrrty old man"

 

In "En Garde" it was one of the ways to social advancement.

 

300 missing from the hospitals in Ache apparently.

 

Could be God got it wrong and thought Port Blair was where he was
staying.

 

My friend's sister is a purchaser for a large engineering company, she
was talking to staff at one of the offices she deals with in Indonesia
yesterday and there are reports in the local papers of multiple rapes
and disappearances believd in part to be for the spare organ trade. I
wonder how much is sensationalism by local media to raise sales and
how much is based in fact.

 

I was reading in the English version of one of the Far East papers that
there were gangs of men and youths coming out of the untouched[1] inner
towns and cities on raping sprees, also the most abducted child were
very young blue eyed females[2].

[1] Most of the damaged areas are up to half a kilometre from the coast
(which is where most of the coastal people live). With damage further
inland where the land was flat or the geography funnelled the force of
the tsunami. Inland there is varying amounts of earthquake damage but
nowhere near as bad.

[2] The report suggested for the sex trade.

 

I caught part of an interview with some Unicef bod on the Beeb last night
and she saud that although there have been reports, there are only two
*verified* cases of children being taken by child traffickers. (I think
that related specifically to Thailand.)
