Never seen so many police vehicles in town. I was also shocked to see a genuine rarity - police on "the beat" (on foot patrol, if our quaint British terminology confuses you)!
Their lord and master, "Emperor Palpatine" himself, was nowhere to be seen, however - guess I was in the wrong place at the wrong time all afternoon, or his idea of being "in town this afternoon" was sticking his head out of his posh hotel room window at half past seven tonight. Oh yes - he's really going to grace us mere mortals with his presence...
I heard the anti-nuclear loonies were in town to shout at him, but I didn't see anything of them either. Personally, I think we have every right to a nuclear deterrent, especially with Kim Jong Il flexing his muscles - if it's okay for North Korea to have nukes to "protect itself against America", then we have double the right, as we are already under attack from terrorists. And let's see your CND banners protect us when Al Qiada (who gives a shit about the spelling) set off a "Made In North Korea" nuke on your back doorstep.
...and now the good news... The "lead singer" of The Darkness is quitting, 'cause the band is hampering his efforts to get off drugs. Good frigging riddance - like we ever needed a third Spinal Tap...
