One advantage in working as a writer/journalist is that you can do stuff you really enjoy, so yes it has been interesting. Writing (separately) about the development of Apartheid, World War II in north Africa, and whether South Africa is involved in rendition - a Pakistani citizen was bundled into a plane on a SA Air Force base several months ago with the collusion of the Department of Home Affairs and has not been heard from since - it has been suggested that he was a terrorism suspect.

The big problem is that after a few days there is a fair bit to catch up on with 'Intensity For Squares', and many of the amusing quips I think of have already been used later on in threads.

That does mean that the site is apparently more active than I thought, which is good.

Not enough hijacking though!

cos i'm never particularly happy talking about my private self with people i don't know and trust.  i do go on about myself endlessly, of course, but only the surface levels.  the rest of me stays between me, myself, and, occasionally, any unfortunate whom i've decided to trust.  you can tell who they are - they have huge, red throbbing ears, a dazed expression, and and urge to emigrate.

... and and urge to emigrate.

I've already done this last part. Can we do the rest in reverse order?

Posted on several threads:

we just recieved the funding to produce the first annual I? Calender, and you have been selected to model for and represent one month.

Which month would you choose, and why?
and would you pose scantily clad, or bare chested?

Now why wasn't I asked? eh? Hominoidist!

And as nature intended (but not as I actually ended up 'cause Gaea wouldn't have been that cruel!)

No problem, just point out to people in WH Smiths that I'm trying to read a Playboy article...

Think 'embarrassment' rather than 'embarrassment of riches'.

I can think of other reasons for having throbbing ears, but I don't think I'd have a dazed expression... more intent or all consuming I would expect ?
