ULSHTER SHEZH NO TO FUCKING EVERYTHING!

NO! NO!

Yes, the DUP are refusing to take part in talks about restoring the devolved government in Northern Ireland, as this is Ian Paisley’s way of throwing his toys out of his pram because of the British Army’s plans to reduce their numbers in NI. What a shithead.

Battlefield 2 tracker

BF2 tracker is a site that can track your Battlefield 2 user stats from outside of the game, and will generate signature images based on these stats. If you want to, you can customise the sig image as well. Nice.

Hey Tony, lay off the crack pipe

In a recent interview with the Sunday Times, Rupert Murdock wannabe and Eircom head honcho Tony O’Reilly had this to say in the middle of whining about how blogs are dangerous for the newspaper business:

“It is a sunrise industry,” said O’Reilly. “Newspapers are tactile, hugely cheap, reliable, go with a cup of coffee. You can trust newspaper writers. Can you trust a blogger?” O’Reilly said that the newspaper industry would also challenge the rise of the internet as an advertising medium. A whole range of goods would not be congenial to be advertised “on a PC”, he said.

You can trust newspaper writers? In which parallel universe does he live? You couldn’t trust half of them as far as you can throw them. Look at the type of utterly biased shite you see in the likes of the Sun (Not one of Anto’s rags, admittedly. But then, there is the Sunday Independent). Most of the papers are pushing some kind of political agenda, most likely the one preferred by the people with the money behind them.

A Lucky Escape

According to Reuters, all passengers and crew survived the Air France Airbus A340 crash at Toronto Pearson Airport. There’s speculation that the plane was struck by lightning whilst landing.
Talk about a freak accident. The aircraft skidded off the runway and into a gully only a short distance from Canada’s busiest highway - imagine the carnage if it ended up in the middle of that.

Hahaha

Web statistics can be quite amusing at times. Check out the oddball search expressions some people were using to find this site:

Marlboro Man

I saw an interesting article on Wikipedia’s “Did you know” section today: Wayne McLaren, the American model who portrayed the Marlboro Man, died of lung cancer. Ironic, eh?
