The USA "inteligence" service. well, just to start off on this amazing story, little bit of history, It was SOE, who during WW11 went and helped the USA start an inteligence service, as apparently it didnt have one.
We should obviously have done some follow up training.
Two kids last week, went over to the USA from the UK. They tweeted their friends saying "we are going to destroy the USA" what this means in kidspeak is the new equivelent to " we are going to get real wasted" or "we are going to get destroyed"
Taken to the next level of stupid language use "we are going to destroy the place we are partying at"
Just kids speak. This lad and girl would have difficulty destroying their own hairstyle, but nevermind.
They also tweeted ( for a joke) we are going to dig marilyn monroe up.
When they got to the good old usa, they were immediately handcuffed, and detained.
Anyone with an ounce of common sense wouold have cast their eyes on these kids and just thought "harmless dicks" But not the inteligence service, they interrogated them for five hours, AND searched them for shovels, looking through all their baggage.
Okay, maybe these two kids could just, just feasably have been a threat to homeland security, possibly.
BUT, anyone with an microgram of inteligence would know that a shovel would NOT help you dig marylin monroe up....
WHY? BECAUSE SHE AINT BURIED!!!
she resides in what we call a "wall crypt" a sort of stone box, about three feet high in the air.
The implements of exhumation that would serve you best in this situation would be a Hammer and a chisel, and possibly a crowbar.
Anyways, they got sent back to the UK. For nothing, except stupid tweeting. How weird is that?

rossy, it's a sad statement of the "world we live in" over here - compliments of 9-11. You'll love this (off topic a bit): my friend's kid got suspended from a school a few years back for bringing a squirt gun (water gun) to the school parking lot. I tell my kid "don't even THINK the word GUN when you're at school"

My telephone tells me that I have been on the phone to different numbers at Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs for over 27 hours over the last two weeks, on behalf of my 75-yr-old mum. Today - when she tried calling them from abroad, at my gran's bedside, different special numbers for abroad which are supposed not to have a half-hour wait on hold - they are all apparently on strike and they put down the phones. I tried the same numbers myself and confirmed that is the case. Sigh.
Well I've done what I can over the last few months. But it's a real nightmare dealing with these people.
I'm going out for a walk. I may be some time.
Here's Golpes Bajos, with 'Malos tiempos para la lirica', a lovely early 80s Spanish Movida madrileña piece:
The lyrics in Spanish:
El azul del mar inunda mis ojos, el aroma de las flores me envuelve, contra las rocas se estrellan mis enojos y asà toda esperanza me devuelve. Malos tiempos para la lÃrica.
Las ratas corren por la penumbra del callejón, tu madre baja con el cesto y saluda, seguro que ha acabado tu jersey de cotton ...puedes esbozar una sonrisa blanca y pura.
Malos tiempos para la lÃrica.
Seguro que algún dÃa cansado y aburrido encontrarás a alguien de buen parecer, trabajo de banquero bien retribuÃdo y tu madre con anteojos volverá a tejer.
I'm sure Recaredo will appreciate... ;-)

Good morning ladies and gents! Just catching up on post readings while I pry my poor little eyelids open. Have LOTS of piano practicing to do.
Rossy: the US Intelligence agency puts out whoppers often. We get a good laugh from them on a regular basis. You should look up the US navy vs. Canadian Lighthouse. You'll have a hard time breathing from laughter over that one!
I'm loving this at the moment.Awesome performance from Alfie Bow and plenty of other excellent performances as well. Here's the prologue, the rest of it's on Youtube too.
Griffin - I am so excited for you and Claire de Lune. How is it coming?
PPP - no no no I didn't think your posting was odd for you. I just thought it was odd that you gave us Morse code twice after Wayne got snapped up by aliens. I thought they were using you for communication purposes is all. Now I see it is all coincidental.
Welcome back, Eglantine! I am sorry that you have to deal striking people.
Rossy - good job with the explanation. Now they will see. Good thing you have such a good relationship with Hawking. I unfortunately will not participate.. just thinking about being stuck on the desert island makes me panicky!
And hi to anyone I missed..
oh Rossy I saw your worst nightmare! Sorry there is an ad..
Anyway, time to flip the pork roast. Just in case anyone doesn't know: Thyme, onions, rosemary, and garlic cooking in a mixture of flour and butter is one of the greatest smells ever.
Here you Go Eglantine, and anyone else who is interested..... the link to the story. There is a picture of the two kids, I am not an expert at judging folk, but does this pair look dangerous?

Yuck! Well, the Soup is a show that mocks other shows, and apparently an entertainment news show did a whole segment comparing Titanic the the cruise ship, and how Lenonardo diCaprio and Kate Winslet also risked their life making Titanic. It was also mentioned that there are rumblings in the works to make the cruise ship ordeal a movie. So the soup took all the snippets and pieced 'em together.
unintelligence agency I got it, my cousin had this linked on his facebook page. Just the fact that they can't figure out what UK slang phrases mean scares me. How many slang phrases do they not understand from countries that are actually a threat to us? I believe that if someplace in the world "I'm going to play with kittens and bake a cake" actually means "we're going to take over the government, wanna help?" they'll never figure it out and we're screwed.
I'll figure it out eventually. Until then you may want to keep a safe distance.
