Hello, me again and with all the shite which is going on in the world I thought it was worth taking a look at the 'hot coffee' controversy which is getting Hilary Clinton upset about, yawn, GTA: San Andreas......Confirmed: Sex minigame in PS2 San Andreas - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot: "Given that the minigame is about as raunchy as an episode of Sex and the City, cannot be accessed without entering a long string of cheat codes, and takes several hours of effort to access, charges that San Andreas is 'pornographic' may seem extreme to some. However, its existence does appear to contradict Rockstar Games' carefully worded statement blaming hacker mischief for the existence of the Hot Coffee mod. "

2018 And thus the lawnmower of the summer holidays moves ever closer to the hidden frog of destiny. Blogs will come thin and slow over the next four weeks as I sun my palid skin in Sweden and the UK. Suffice to say that this has been a mental six months, and I am very much forward indeedy looking forward to the summer break.

The goals of the summer holidays involve a multitude of familial stuff which I won't go into but also the writing of a complete short story as well as some form of exercise (but not much running).

Take care y'all, have a good summer.

And I've finally managed to get some sleep.

Bugging the neighbours flat tonight.
0445 Tired. My neighbour went to bed about an hour ago. The village is okay, interesting...sky is light now, and seagulls being noisy.
02.59 The neighbours still awake.....odd. Master and Commander rather good, awash with stiff upper lips. Splendid. Now onto M. Night. Shalamamalalamalalamalalamallannn's The Village.

23.49 He's watching Baywatch, closer scrutiny definitely required.
23.45 My nocturnal neighbour, whose bedroom I can see from my front room, is watching TV again! Not healthy, I will keep close watch and see what happens - even climbing in through his open window if required.
23.34 So I think we'll continue with Master and Commander. Ohh, Russell, Command me, Command me.
23.10 Fantastic, Fader Ted episode 'Hell'. 'Sprit, Arsle, Flickor'
23.03 Has anyone actually seen this? Revengers Tragedy (2002) It sounds bloody marvellous (Christopher and Eddie, both in the same movie, with a soundtrack by Chumbawamba no less) but I guess that, due to the Warner Brothers conspiracy to keep any movie from the public which might actually make people think, it was on at the cinema for about 20 seconds.
22.56 Coffee, and not long until father Ted. 11.10, not the 11.30 originally reported. Just been looking at the Fantastic Four movie, is it me, or does The Thing look like a big poo?
22.26 More coffee required. 'if it bleeds, we can kill it'. Indeed.

And another experiment to try out the new image posting thingy....so a cool image of some Aliens hardware finds itself onto my blog, and not before time to.
22.11 Just, as you can see, changed the format of the blog to sort the formatting problem I had a few days ago. Rather utilatarian style but workable. Tea is being drunk, balcony door open, wind in trees, nice.
22.01 So my choices are watch Master and Commander, or M. Night. Shallllamamamamamamamans The Village, and then break after an hour to watch Father Ted which, we've just noticed, is on channel 1 at 23.30. Kind of curious to see how they translate 'feck'. On the subject of movies and subtitles watched House of Flying Daggers last night, good solid 8.5/10.....and with Swedish text as well (which means some subtlies of the plot may have passed me by but its usually pretty straight forward in such movies i.e. boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, girl turns out to be super stealthy assassin, boy betrayed by closest friend, girl dies, closest friend dies, boy dies, inexplicable tap dance routine, end).
21.49 Just been for a swim, only a few minutes walk from our flat - very nice it was to, about 23 degrees and not salty at all.

Whilst perusing the various postings about the bombing in London I came across this site where some well meaning American had tried to introduce some love and spiritually to help the Londoners. As you might expect the British response was slightly more down to earth.london_hurts: Reflections Upon a River...
