A birthday...

...tmouffn's, to be precise. I do not know when or where I read from her last and I am left with a vague feeling that I like her from somewhere. Anyway, lady, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, have a good one with all the people you love.

This is the second time in 24 hours that would-be terrorists try to kill considerable numbers of British civilians. And do not think I am not taking it seriously. It is not nice to know that people who live in our community want us dead. But it is comforting to reflect that, as far as realization goes, and in spite of what seems to have been a careful study of mass murder methods, the actual work in both cases seems to have been strictly Amateur Hour. The IRA managed to make trouble for Britain for decades because they were a group of experienced and trained killers. These gentlemen just seem to decide to go on a murder spree one day when they feel particularly pissed off. As long as they remain so amateurish, they will go on making maximum effort for minimum result.
