Thanks Dave...I mean thanks a fucking lot...another story about a bunch of over the hill asswipes with too much time on their hands...a round of golf at the club and a few drinks in the clubhouse afterwards and a conversation along the lines of...'Hey Guys let's wind up those Baerwald and Bentkowski chaps by pretending we want to take over the world...'

Nobody's that intelligent...I've just come back from one of the outer shires (Northumberland) and it has that great testament of human vanity and paranoia called Hadrian's Wall...and it made me think of how time and again humans (or androids) will try this 'let's try and rule the world plot'...and always fuck up. The battle for control is won inside...I refer the right honourable gentleman to Shantideva's Way of the Bodhisvattva...and by the way to quote a favorite singer of mine

'nothin's gonna bring me down'

PS shouldn't you be out there shagging lots of lovely women and writing songs about it, not sitting in a darkened room murmuring 'they're all out to get me'. I think Chris would agree with me on this
