Reply to Some Thoughts On The World Cup in Misc JoeUser Forums

What a breath of fresh air to find someone on JU who enjoys the World Cup OG! Here are some of my thoughts on the tournament so far: * Yes, Argentina first. They played the best match of the cup so far and Cambiossa's goal was one of the finest I have seen. Messi and Maxie Rodrigues must not be underestimated--these are World Cup giants as of now. Later they will have to prove themselves against stronger teams. However, I doubt whethe

Keith Richards was either drunk or stoned. Daryl Hannah probably had her mermaid costume on. Who knows? But the trees were obviously disgusted!

This one's for the oldies! in Blogging JoeUser Forums

That's as far back as you can remember of course! I was thinking of movies the other day and realised that I had seen some great movies since I was a teenager in the sixties. So, I thought I'd ask the older Joeusers (and younger if you wish), to tell me the 3 movies that were the best . I do remember that Easy Rider was great but not one of my greats. So were Doctor Z

News from Africa. in Blogging JoeUser Forums

* Of the 6 or so African nations taking part in the World Cup, Togo came closest today to winning a game. However, the Koreans came back strongly in the second half to beat this small African country. I cannot help thinking that Senegal or Cameroun could have done better but that is the luck of the draw! * South Africa hosts the next World cup in 2010 and I a

Should Gitmo be closed down? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

As a non-American I would be interested to hear about your views on Guantanamo Bay after the suicide of 3 prisoners. The comments from Admiral Harris about "assymetrical" warfare worry me. Is he using politic-speak to explain away these deaths or is he not too concerned because this may be a protest to draw attention to their plight and motivate action from terrorist

Dear Thabo, in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Dear Thabo, I am sorry I was unable to meet you at the Commonwealth Conference. Blair and that swine Clark would not let me attend. I assure you they will pay in blood for that snub. It is people like Blair who give Africa a bad name. That Jingo is so full of himself after becoming friendly with Bush. In fact, I have banned all British and American products from Z

News from Africa. in Current Events JoeUser Forums

The news from Africa is bleaker than usual but I shall add a ray or two of sunshine! * SOMALIA is in the news again. This impoverished country has not rested in the past 15 years. It was in 1990 that the infamous warlord Mohamed Aideed sought to take control of the country. You know what happened after that! Now, the US backed Warlords running Mogadishu, the

My message to the donkeys and horses of the world... in Pets & Nature JoeUser Forums

I should not even be posting this blog because it concerns a very emotional issue that affects every member of my family--and because I was upset by an incident of cruelty.I have to post my thoughts, though, because I get upset and have to get some of my anger out. You see, we are animal lovers and we accept no half measures when it comes to animal welfare. We do not

Here is my Wish list for 2006/2007. in Current Events JoeUser Forums

In drawing up my wish list I decided to concentrate on those people who are not living up to expectations for the good of the World and those who may be able to help make things better. S0, I wish that: * Donald Rumsfeld would get off his arse and work out, with his Generals, a way to prevent suicide bombers getting through to aspirant new police/army recruit

Reply to IRAQ IS A DISASTER in Politics JoeUser Forums

I side with you on this. It's getting out of hand. The OF (Occupation Forces) have not worked out a strategy to stop car bombs and human bombs, and Iraquis die daily due to this menace. I am no expert but I feel things are spiralling out of control. It is not a case of having enough men on the ground--it is having the men in the right place. And how do you do that? Then there is Basra and the British troops, once well received, now hated--let's face it

Scottish Rule In England? in Politics JoeUser Forums

As the embattled Tony Blair shuffles his cabinet after disastrous Labour party losses in council elections,I wonder if he realises that the Scots, always prominent in Westminster politics, are quietly making a run towards total rule of the "Sassenachs"! Consider the following facts and judge whether you think there is no Scottish "coup" in the offing: <BR

Reply to Straw said "no!"... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

The way I see it Straw made two big mistakes that were, incongruously, rather confusing. Firstly he is a great favourite of Condi's and secondly he wanted to play down any attack on Iran So, we find him very close to Condi but reluctant to support any attack on Iran. I think Blair either ,a) wanted him away from Condi's influence or, b) was in disfavour with GWB over Jack's reluctance to attack Iran. Who knows how Blair thinks or whether he thinks.

The stomach turns... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

My stomach turns at the amazing things that the World and its so-called leaders get up to. Please help me (if it is at all possible), to a mature, balanced judgement of the World when, in cynical vein,I try to understand man and his failings. Here are the Palooka's running our World: * Evo Morales, leader of Bolivia, nationalises his oil and gas fields, seem

Two Jags Prescott.... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Although the Deputy Prime Minister of Britain is sitting on a see-saw as far as his job is concerned, I feel that we should look at the positive aspects of his fling with a secretary twenty years younger. After all, can you imagine how much hope the 68 year old Deputy PM has given to old age pensioners? Here is a man with a libido to die for. Old age Britain

I'm happy for you too. My pride and joy 2 years ago was a BMW 535i. It sat in my garage and I couldn't believe I owned a "Horn Car" (it isa "Horn Car too), so I dreamt about it and enjoyed every minute of the mornings when I could climb aboard. Lucky Bastard you!

If the buck stops at Stephen Jordan, in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Lieut. Col. Stephen Jordan is being held responsible for the Abu Ghraib embarrassment. Don't tell me the buck stops at a lowly Lieutenant Colonel! Was he the wild card--the top man? If so, did he have no senior officers above him monitoring Abu Ghraib? I don't think so. The rot doesn't stop at Jordan's door and the authorities better do a more complete job.<!-- Ju-Anc

Blair's government is crumbling. in Politics JoeUser Forums

I believe the Blair government is heading for a fall. I don't know when but every day brings new revelations about incompetence or indiscretion. If I were headmaster Tony I would really have a talk with my staff (i.e. cabinet). Look at the record of one week in the life of a cabinet: # Tony and company have a failing NHS on their hands. # Patricia Hewitt

They forget about the skills we have... in Blogging JoeUser Forums

My wife and I spent a year in England to be near our daughter and her husband. I'm a bored old critter so I decided to look for work. I'm an avid gardener so applied to be a nurseryman. No luck--too old. I guess they thought that carrying plants might be a chore for a fifty-nine year old! Then I applied for a job in PR. Surely my years as a principal might convince th

Hang 'em high. in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I am a fairly gentle person and I believe that human life is precious but, unlike many other conservative Christians , I believe in the death penalty. Why? Because there are people on our planet who have no regard for the lives of others. They are cruel, abusive members of our animal clan and because they are the worst animals, having no morals or feelin
