Mine eyes have seen the glory...
No one made you all read it.
Russell, now that's just plain silly...
We trust you, and would hate for you to have been used or manipulated to present an unbalanced view...
Perhaps you need to publish verbatim Cook's version of events and any corroboration of information passed up the chain...For something that wasn't gonna be taken into evidence for the Cook case, the above Speaker Post smacks of "Ass-Covering" - even if it was just "out-of-work" friday night hijinks and drinks...
Many an actual misdemeanour has sprung from such inebriated innocuous behaviour......and he did take the telescope over there, and he did admit to breaching privacy by occasionally Peeping and Peering by Night (still a crime in the Summary Offences Act 1981) - so ok maybe it wasn't into a dwellinghouse - but with journalists' hours it may as well be at times...
and in some ways it was a Burglary (see the Crimes Act 1961 No 43, section 231) - they did enter a building, albeit with their eyes, but arguably under 231 (3a)entrance into a building or ship is made as soon as any part of the body of the person making the entrance, or any part of any instrument used by that person, is within the building or ship;
so is data on the optical nerve a part of one's brain / body...?
- no one made them see stuff though I guess...I especially enjoyed this smack in the chops to fellow journalists - picture editors - throughout the country:
"...but have you ever tried looking at a newspaper and guessing the content of a story by its picture? It can't be done, or at least, not in a way that would give real benefit to a competing journalist."
all in all I think he just shot himself in the foot,
shame he had it in his mouth at the time...ahh well - I guess this is why people join the police - for better work stories...
once again
nothing to see here
move along pleaseyrs
Old Bailey
Libran -
Marxian polemics and other grouches...
<sfx> Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band - __Intro and Outro
(with the Count Basie Band on triangle) </sfx>where holed up in a basement and Ian's dancing round dressed in bermudas, Mr Harris has started humming church songs. please helP!
Not where - we are (or we're, if you prefer contractions to start your word birth)...
Not abasement (I believe it was a silo on the radio play, but who is quibbling) but a D-grading void (ala standard issue Geography Teacher marking)...
Not dancing but more a compelling hypnotic gyration defying description (or resistance)...
Not Bermudas! - Walkshorts with matching walk socks - stretched taut above calves (ala standard issue Geography Teacher attire circa 1970)...
Not Hymn humming by Harris mind you - more a Killer Bee (call me Steve) drone of Church tunes like The Unguarded moment or Under the Milky Way
Help? I think not!
"You got a purty mouth..."
"Come on punk make my day... "<sfx> Dualistic Banjo music
- take it away Mr Haywood </sfx>{ : )

Fare and Low Thing in Ash Vegas -
Papyrus, pay per paper view...
Doing away with the oral tradition did open a can of worms didn't it... The story-teller was always feted and fed.I always had a vision of books - as repositories of ideas - being story tellers by artifice (artifiction perhaps) and proxy - their demand driven by internal content not sheer physicality - not as consumable produce or artefacts (artefaction?) and should be traded much like the Masonic Exchange: ie people purchase the use of the book but it goes back to the clearing house to be on sold/leased not let loose into unmonitored trading.... what a dreamer eh...
But do I infer from what you say, Islander, that second hand book sales are actually an unpoliced illegality?
No wonder books have Flack Jackets to sell themselves - they're on their own after that...
Gutenberg only started a trickle
but once the going got wired and weired
the whole dam thing is gonna blow...yrs
The Sedge
Byblos against the Empire -
Secondhand Rows and the Royal Tease debate...
Aside from the ever changing field of sequestering
actual, or electromagnetic, vibrations on a bewildering
array of substrates...I wonder what size chunk of change has been kept from artists by second-(and third, fourth...ad infinitum)-hand sales?
(ditto for books...)Seriously! Surely the content/song remains the same...
I guess that idea will fly like a lead dirigible, huh?
Much as the perfectly sane sounding, ongoing percentages for creators of artworks idea is always shot down in flames... maybe Helium instead of Hydrogen?A move from ownership to onus-ship is called for
rather than piracy of the high Cs
or perhaps a simple Buck-an-ear tax?yrs
Bonnie Prince Billy Occam
for a closer shave...PS: sorry if you've covered this argument earlier on
in the thread, didn't have to time to read all 109 pages,
I'm waiting for the movie : )PPS: Simon how did the Box/CC night go?

Looks 'armless enough, hop on...
Eye is sprung - I was taught illogic

a hard case - like durum

Genghis Khan - founder of the Temu Era Gin
we're not in Guatemala now Marco
(the irony was not lost on Dr Ropata..)
but there was some mock Okra...Still no reaction from the Dungeness Beetles
but then my piles are damp...Like Tony Hancock in Sydney

by the Cannelloni Rangers, Cunning
Linguinists preparing to meat their maker
- the Mad Macaroni! All for one and one for all,
in for a Penne - in for a pound
(or the metric equivalent...)While the Americans have it that Pasta was introduced
to the west from China by Marco Polo, the truth is that it
is another Arabic creation...
... and looking at that Flying Spaghetti Monster I am put in mind of another elder god - Cthulhu who sleeps in R'lyeh
(a lot like Rye, right?) perhaps there is grain of truth in
HP Lovecraft's exploitation of that other Mad Arab - Abdul Alhazred's Necronomicon.Now we are cooking...

Beyond the Palin & back behind the picket fence...
maybe the GOP stands for Group of Pirates...
or better yet Privateers - lend them your ears and they'll sell em for a Buck...Meanwhile if you happen to be an ex-Congress woman from Georgia taken from a ship in International waters by the Israeli Navy - you can rely on your country to do absolutely nothing it seems.
Those Brit Navy ratings were taken in Iranian territorial waters...
Even recent commercial ships taken by pirates off Africa have been rescued by US Navy SEALs.So you'd think that at least former POW John McCain would mount a rambo attack... or John Kerry would fleet foot it over there...
No such luck for Cynthia McKinney....
But that's Israel for ya Jake...
they don't recognise the UN or the IAEA
but expect those organisations to act on their behalf......back to Alaska now folks for real news!
Possible corruption scandal in Lovely Lake Lucille, Wasilla...
Is this just another twisted case of "CTN" as referred to by Craig?

Quite. The idea of meaninglessness is itself meaningless.
and if meaning means sense
ergo senselessness = e
...by gum!Something to chew over indeed...
Ears lookin' achoo kid...We should probably leave a monolith somewhere...
we don't need no steenkin' monoliths!
Shibboleths that's what we need...
so the hip replacements can have a ball...
Well maybe a Rosetta Stone for the cognoscenti......but really once our transient standing waves have collapsed back into the unified field background noise (and all our monoliths and constructed conceits are regolith anything coming after us will probably want to forge its own way and not be led into the evolutionary cul de sacs, blind alleys and box canyons that we have explored and championed.

damn he was greek geek...
Okay, okay - Giovanni Demisiani - was originally Greek
but he hung out with Italians at the Accademia dei Lincei in Rome - so close enough for jazz...yrs
