I think we are getting our wires crossed a bit here - it would appear that you are making more of a point concerning the media shark feeding frenzy and who or what gets more coverage and is more deserving of such public attention ... And if we are talking about that subject, then I'm sure your point...

A very good friend of mine is over there at the moment and he was on radio this afternoon - this is just a short synopsis of his interview from our "logs": INT: Linden Birns (Live on the line from Phuket) Linden is currently attending a Buddhist ceremony to pray for and remember the victim...

A few Tsunami points: yes, the casualties are horrific, but we are dealing with dozens of fairly densely populated countries. To say "it's more than twice our local population" is not wholly relevant. In local terms, a deluge swamping Southend and killing 150,000 would be utterly catastro...

Welcome to the madness Monsieur Le Sinister - enjoy yer own thread while it's still sort of on topic.

But this one could be the mother lode event for all time (well it's actually the mother ship, coming to fetch me, cos I missed the last fly pass)

I listened to a US Seismologist on radio yesterday (here in SA) and it is virtually impossible to monitor this kind of eventuality with any degree of accuracy - as this occurrence is actually quite rare and it would mean round the clock monitoring for a number of YEARS before anything like this happ...

Can't seem to get into this January 2005 thing - anyone else having the same problem? I'm not even alcoholically hung over or however you would say it if you were sober ... (don't even try to figure that out, I don't know what the hell that means or why I wrote it)

Nah ... been at this debate on another forum.

Firecrackers faded round about 3am in our neighbourhood, then the sleeping pills kicked in and I don't really remember much after that (insomnia is a bugger at this time of the year). Hope everyone has a groovy 2005 And if I am pressed to come up with a resolution, it will be to get a new life as so...

Santa was mugged on his way to my house (that's why I didn't get the all important phone call from Seattle, which is all I asked the fat bastard for in the first place ... :cry: ) but my relatives organised suitable compensation: Special vintage Nederburg ('98 ) Cabernet Sauvignon Special vintage Ne...

Sticking it out in Gangstas Paradise... fairly quiet here at the moment, feel for you dudes at the coast but Knysna is one really cool place.

Also late in catching up on this Very Good News ... wonderful!

My wish to you all is that Santa brings you nice stuff, that you have plenty to eat and drink, that your bed is warm and your heart is full but my friend sent me this, which many of you may have already read somewhere or other, I just couldn't resist it ... Please accept with no obligation, implied ...

Jesus please give us a bit of a warning, some of us work for a living.

Belated congrats to the both of yous!

A couple more and I don't know how I could have left them off my original list: Chris Connelly (when he's doing his Bowie impersonation type voice) Ian Gillan Don't tend to have "fave" female vocalists but a couple sort of stand out: Bjork (not so much her delivery but her creative soul) T...

Depends what mood I'm in ... right now:
1. Tom Waits
2. Shawn Smith
3. David Sylvian
4. Craig Wedren
5. Frank Black
6. Leonard Cohen
7. Will Oldham
8. Pete Steele (sex only)
9. King Bob
10. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
oh and Tom Waits.
Not an Andrew in there, at the moment

Flying to Seattle.

Welcome all, irrespective of your machine of choice.

And another happy burpday.

Dark Angel?

I'm telling you! You've met him - who do you know who doesn't know someone who's met him?

God I'm so articulate.

Well I haven't met him!
If I had you'd damn well all know about it.

This is all good.
