Fun Ways To Spend The Next Two Weekends

One Week To Go...

Arrrrrrgggghhhh....! *cowers in the corner*

Meanwhile... there's apparently going to be some kind of freedom of speech rally in London this weekend - and some Muslim "global civility" march at the same time. Collision course! Ramming speed!

( Rant shields up! Evasive action...! )

Sanity Prevails

In Today's Episode: "A certain female" finally makes her appearance in her own Secret Adventures as "Season Of The Wolf" continues.

It's doing it again... and it can't be just a case of reloading the page. This doesn't happen with The Darkhawk Diaries, y'know...

In The News... Smoking will be banned in enclosed public spaces in Scotland from midnight....

...and about time too!

And Finally... That freedom of expression rally hardly seems to be shaking the establishment. Guess the majority of the thousands they expected to attend are still at home, flaming each other...

Captain's Log: Supplemental

And just because the BBC news item I mentioned in the previous entry only linked to the Muslim campaigners' website, here's the link to the march organisers:-

March for Free Expression

Interesting how it didn't even make the TV news. Not enough violence or arrests, I suppose. The comments pages include links to the images of the "racist, anti-Islamic chaos", plus a lot of bitching.

*** UPDATE ***

I wasn't going to go any further with this, until I found out that the "other side" are just as bad, if not worse. Taken from the blog for the "Muslim Action Committee":-

Headline: "DISMAL TURNOUT AT FREE EXPRESSION MARCH HIGHLIGHTS THE ILL INTENTIONS OF ITS SUPPORTERS"

See for yourself. They're at Blogspot, but I'm not going to link to it directly, just as I didn't intend to link directly to the March For Free Expression.

It's a pity Backlash got involved in this. It's not their fight.

*** UPDATE UPDATE ***

In search of some perspective, I consulted The Crab Of Ineffable Wisdom, who had a little story to tell me. Awww...

A lesson for us all, I think.

And Finally... ...nine minutes and counting... Sorry, not 'til 6am, apparently. S'ok, I'm in no hurry to go into a pub.
