Hey Davros!!

welcome to Raiméis!! You must be bored to be stopping by here ;-)
what the heck is up with Slugger? It's taking them ages to get it sorted out!

Love the name of the site - first came across this word in association with THE D.P.Moran , my favourite Bogeyman LOL

I was heading to bed, but ended up ordering yet another book!

This one -

I do wish Slugger was back properly ...I'm reduced to roaming sites like BBC Talkback and ATW....

I wonder is it a bad sign that we're longing for Sluggers return? We'll have to take up another hobby.

Chatting with intelligent people can only be a good thing!

This is the 81st Anniversary of the Free State joining the League of Nations ... I hope you have your flag out ?

Ta for the link.
Ever see some of the pictures of the wounded Americans? There's a lot of maimed young men heading home to the US ... a lot of wasted lives I reckon.

They'll be swept under the carpet.

Do you know Steve Bell
s cartoons ? He's brilliant!

No, but I just found his archive. The picture of the Commons protestors is very good.

Loved this one... he takes no prisoners.

Was amused to see Bell has a beard... was talking to a Muslim friend ..if he keeps on at Bush and Blair over Iraq they'll start suggesting he's a Muslim 5th columnist

Excellent!!!
