    Weekend Plans

    Tomorrow is September 11th, or as our friends across the pond call it, 9/11. To commemorate what happened on this day in 2001 in New York, various people are planning jovial activities to amuse themselves;

    - a US hillbilly preacher is going to hold a Koran burning festival. Oh no, he says he isn’t. No wait, he says it will go ahead. Oh no, changed his mind again, it’s off; better call off the burger van

    - A Dutch hillbilly politician is to give a speech in New York at a demonstration against building a mosque two blocks away from the WTC (even though there’s another mosque closer to WTC); the demonstration will probably be attended by hillbillies flown in from all over the states

    - some little known group of radical muslim inbreds in Belgium (which apparently still exists) are planning to burn US flags

    - apparently they’re already protesting in Afghanistan against the Koran burning that isn’t going ahead except if this sad little man The Daily Mash - Home changes his tiny little mind for the sixth time in three days

    - I shall hold my little protest against the whole lot of them by opening a bottle of Clos de Vougeot and consuming it with some seared wood pigeon breast and truffle shavings

    - On Sunday I shall be playing rugby

    What shall ye and your kin be doing at the weekend?


    PS, don't try to fool me into thinking it's Thursday; it isn't and I've checked.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

    Sounds nummy.

    I shall be doing very little apart from devoting the whole weekend to baby boy. I might not even get dressed all weekend.
    Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

      I will probably go into work and combine it with a bit of historical sight seeing, weather permitting. The Romans were in that neck of the woods.

            You bit. Like a tiger shark.

            Trust me.

              She just meant that she would be in her long flannelette nighty and full length towelling bathrobe all weekend, and her slippers, her hair in curlers and a fag hanging from her mouth.

              Calm down Mustang.
              Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

                Missus is visiting aforementioned friend - 3hr drive each way.

                I'm in charge of offspring, prepping for a permie interview on Monday.
