Missed it

No posts for a while, because I was busy...

...well, fuck it, not really. Just too lazy.

I was too busy enjoying Valentine's Day....alone.

(Boo hoo....)

Well, seems some aren't convinced by this Hallmark concoction:

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's morality police are on the scent of illicit red roses as part of a clampdown on would-be St Valentine's lovers in the strict Muslim kingdom.

The Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, Saudi Arabia's powerful religious vigilantes, have banned shops from selling any red flowers in the run-up to February 14.

Good for them. I, for one, am sick of celebrating all these Christian/pagan festivals. Sends a man to a cleaner.

That's why every year I choose not to have a Valentine.

P.S. I was half expecting you to whinge about the media's coverage of the 'innocent' Aussie who has just come back from Guantanamo. More evidence of America being a rogue sheriff?

I'll post on that shortly, my friend.

And he's far from innocent.

Oh good, so you've got something to charge him with? That's a start. Even America couldn't manage that.

I was referring to the fact he was defrauding Centrelink.

Who defrauded poor centrelink?
