More seriously, Arafat has moved into a deeper coma today. Officials say he is suffering from a brain haemorrhage (that’s intense internal bleeding) and claim his life is in the “hands of God”.
and now BBC News says: Israel agrees Arafat burial plans
Take a hint people! He is, for all intents and purposes, DEAD. They’re just waiting until they feel like making it official.
I’m just glad we’ve got a US President who has shown so much concern and understanding for the Middle East crisis over the past few years… :rolleyes:
Starting playing this great Team 17 game again today. Copied my old saved scores across computers and jumped back in right were I was – now 88% is unlocked!
As Worms is one of my all time favourite PC games ever, I was delighted to see there’s a new version in development. Worms: Forts Under Siege is released on the 19th November. Yah hoo!

This is my first post using a completely new contact management system – the very cool Nucleus replacing Blogger. Myriads more options are suddenly available, so watch out for some more improvements to the blog coming very soon.

Good things: Bonfires, burning George W Bush on the fire, parties, hot dogs
Bad things: Fireworks, The Simpsons on Channel 4*
