yes, another MeME

I had pretty much decided to stop posting the attention whoring/ego boosting memes but I'm bored, I *am* an attention whore, and who couldn't use a little extra ego boosting now and again? So...

"If you can read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, please post a comment with a memory of us - even if we don't speak very often. It can be anything you want, good or bad. When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or moritified) about what people remember about you?"

Note. Just saying DRUNKEN LOUD CIDER IRISH does not count ;p That is my default (particularly at meets), not a specific memory!

(no subject)

Compare and contrast -

Govt. propose bill to introduce internment (imprisonment without trial) for people suspected of terrorist acts/links/leanings and are defeated.

Same govt. publishes legislation to allow those suspect and/or convicted of terrorist acts/links who are on the run from N.Ireland to return, be convicted but not imprisoned, including some people who are allegedly still on the run from internment policy introduced here in the 70's.

It's not very often at all I'd find myself in agreement with Reg Empey (leader of unionist party) but -
"The prime minister is guilty of sending out completely mixed messages," he said.
"On the one hand he is proposing an effective amnesty for some of the most barbaric terrorists in this part of the UK, on the other he proposes tough new laws for terrorists and terrorist related activity on the mainland."

Not surprisingly Sinn Fein are all for it...


Anyway, I can teach y'all a few verses of 'the men behind the wire' if you'd like!
