Hell, when your favourite SG, Clio is a contributor, you just have to, don't you?!

I am angry because I am not living the life that I wanted to lead.

I am angry because I am not being true to my heart.

I am angry because I have been conditioned to think of these things as selfish and unrealistic and unobtainable.

In the UK, following political parties is like following your favourite football team. Family traditions stemming back hundreds of years mean that generation after generation blindly follow the politics of their parents, and their parents before them.

Is it wrong to laugh when karma comes round to bite your manager in his ass? I know it's probably righteous to rise above such petty feelings, but I just couldn't help it.

In other news, does anyone believe that George W. Bush was being sincere when talking about America's "addiction" to oil, and need to pursue new, renewable, sustainable fuels?

Just back from Prague and thought I would kick things off here. Visited everything from the Museum of Communism through to the Sex Machines Museum. Have also never been offered so much cocaine whilst walking through a city before.
