Random burblings since 1999
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America’s Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn’t want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named ‘Bush’, ‘Dick’, and ‘Colon.’ Need I say more?”

I don’t mention every site that I add to my blogroll, but I’m feeling generous today, so with further ado, the most recent additions are:

Some have been on the blogroll for a while, and some are very new (last few days) but I read them frequently (daily if I have the time) so it’s about time I included them. All top reads of course!

Who the hell did they interview? Yes I’ve been banging out about my spiffy new phone but, it’s just a phone. Get a grip people!
Ohh and a point made by my Dad yesterday, he’s a schoolteacher, is that the latest camera phones are causing them even more headaches as pupils are taking pictures of exam papers, presumably with the aim of sending them to someone to get some answers sent back.
Cheating, he said. Bloody smart use of technology, I said.
