What war ? There is no war.

That's Martial Law you dumbfuck. I expect you're too stupid to understand what
martial means too. Hint, it's not a guy with a couple of 6 shooters.

Once upon a time I never expected to be listened to by spies whether real or
electronic. That's for sure.

Hey, did you know that a McDonald's in Cornwall had to close because they simply
weren't getting enough customers any more ?

There's hope for sanity yet.

I heard about it a few weeks back.

It's a damn good idea. I've been banging on about it myself for some time.

Trans-fats just make you overweight and contribute very significantly to heart
disease. There's no excuse for them at all.

In fact the pressure for the food industry to sell as as much fat in food as
possible may be reduced by the discovery that fats can be used to synthesise
bio-diesel fuel. It's an area I expect to take off quite seriously.

With a ten foot spacing between the posts, that will be one long
