I had an interesting post to write as I made a comment about something somebody said tonight that got me thinking, only I forgot the original statement. But the answer was, “This is why I take what religious people have to say with a pinch of salt.” Have you ever been in a conversation where you know the other party is talking crap, but you don’t argue with them through common courtesy, professional interest, or because you actually like the person and don’t want them to think you’re an arse? This deviates a little from my original script, I do listen to religious people, and I do listen to politicians, and I do listen to the right and the left, I read China Today, Aljazeera and Reuters, as well as The Times. But I am on the fence, Iran are dangerous, and having seen Lybia’s Gadaaffi infront of the UN? well what can I say?!!! One of Notradumus’s interpretations were that some mad twat coastal with the Meditteranean will be the first to use a nuclear weapon. Iran (or North Korea) maybe developing their capacity to produce a nuclear arsenal for their own purposes, Iran have quite clearly dictated the eradication of Israel. To be honest, if I was an Israelie, I would be shitting my pants, but who’s to say they wont sell their warheads on to rogue states, if the price is right.

An interesting week, 50th Wedding Anniversary set up and Party, Yve and Colin’s party, Then a bit of a nosh up and drinks at Mum and Dad’s to celebrate the surprise arrivals of Saturday night, Uncle Eddy and Sandra with Rachel, Flynn and Oscar from Ozzy. Tuesday a day off work (wonder why?) and that evening the first of my mathematics course. Wednesday back to work a bit bleary eyed, finish early to walk up to the Conquest Hospital to do a sleep study, walk back to work following day again half asleep. Thursday evening just chilled with my family in front of the TV and an early night. Today I’m awake I think, although late for work I am here and relatively alert but that can all change. This afternoon shops, need stuff to complete set up of new TV etc., this evening paint front room, tomorrow set up HiFi and TV maybe put up antenna.

‘Most of the things we have been told to do might make us feel better – don’t use plasticity shopping bags, turn off your lights, insulate the house, etc – but they won’t make any difference. Global warming has passed the tipping point, and catastrophe is unstoppable.’
James Lovelock,
Inventor of the Gaia Hypothesis.
‘At the onset of the twenty-first century, humanity stands on the verge of the most transforming and the most thrilling period in its history. It will be an era in which the very nature of what it means to be human will be both enriched and challenged, as our species breaks the shackles of its genetic legacy and achieves inconceivable heights of intelligence, material progress, and longevity.’
Ray Kurzweil,
Technological Futurist.
