Let me introduce you to Culture Secretary Andy Burnham. He's a wonderful proof for the old concept of "the opposite of good is well-meant". I think we can all agree that a butcher shouldn't try to fix your car and the baker would very likely suck at driving a bus, so why somebody's suggesting laws for the internet who very obviously has never used ( Read more... )

Hey, if I bitch about Swiss politics once in a blue moon, I might as well do so in my own language. Nyah! :-P

Idiots can be found in every corner of the world. However - and without getting into politics now can't Ian Paisley choke on a lemon already? - some mindsets allow people to reach higher bullshit-levels than others. Mindsets like the following one, for example:

I'm sorry we haven't talked for such a long time - you know what it's like. Birthdays to celebrate, friends to visit, prisoners to torture ( Read more... )

I have had close to no sleep since Sunday, so I am, as we say here "completely through the wind" (means: gaga). I've spent two nights at the hotel "Cockroach Castle". Hey, I don't mind company. It's a good thing, though, that I like animals. I'll sort of miss Carl the Cockroach and his family. Especially Millicent, his wife, was lovely. I can't ( Read more... )
