Singapore Sunday

In Today's Episode... Gryphon and The Traveller have to contend with the NYPD as their quest for answers continues, while The Traveller's companions have their own problems... and a name we have heard before at last has a face.

The March To Season 6 continues, with TDD-511 progressing towards its conclusion as the penultimate chapter draws to a close. The story is on course for completion tomorrow - I'm expecting the way to be clear for the final chapter to go through its entire development cycle on Monday!

Sporting News... Maybe this year it's time for Massa to bungle his way out of a Formula 1 world title. A third place for Lewis Hamilton, following Massa's fuel-rig wrecking pit-stop (ouch!) and pointless finish, counts as a pretty good result. An even better result comes just now in the form of a 26 - 24 win by the Redskins at Dallas - yaaaay!

Also... 6 TD passes from Brett Favre give a strong suggestion that he's set to be a real factor in how this season is going to go...

Monday On The March...

Another day, another step forward on The March To Season 6, as I find myself closing in on the conclusion of TDD-511 "The Endless Dance... III". Monday Night Football gives me the ideal opportunity to forge forward, and complete the final chapter of this particular story - it only needs a few more "pages", providing a lead-in to TDD-512 "The Season Finale" (title TBA)...

Meanwhile... Oh dear, here we go again. In a desperate panic to prop itself up in the wake of ongoing economic crisis, Glorious Gordon and The Absolute Joke Party have come up with another "good news" story - their amazing new "UK Council for Child Internet Safety", which will supposedly protect the young from from all the nasty people on the nasty old "interweb"...

We already have people whose job is to ensure child safety. They're called PARENTS - you might remember them from the ancient days pre-internet, pre-mobile phones, pre-binge drinking. If these "parents" actually do their job - refusing to let their offspring have net-enabled computers in their bedrooms, and actually learning to use and control the damn things in the first place - there's no need to waste even more taxpayers' money on another "wizard wheeze". It's not "too complicated" - you're just too damn lazy, and too happy to leave YOUR duties to other people...

...which is exactly why we're in the mess we have to suffer now.

Do I wish the internet had been around when I was at school? Absolutely - I would probably have found a fulfilling career as a result, rather than falling into the uncaring clutches of The Fucking System - but I would also have hoped there would have been some common sense action from the parental generation, which these days just can't be bothered, just like their foul-mouthed, near-brain-dead spawn...
