I have just spent my lunch hour with at ispcon and wandered around the many stands. tonic managed to stand out from the crowd though by bribing us with mini bottles of absolut vodka – we like the train of thought guys – vodka + tonic :o)

poor old nike eh? When

poor old nike eh? When I was reading Naomi Klein’s No Logo I couldn’t help but feel sorry for them – they are after all not the only company exploiting sweatshops and cheap labour abroad. They do however come in for a lot of stick. for example the nikeID UL. courtesy of dannybunny

oops – just noticed i managed to post to my bookmarks list šŸ™
so here is the post from last night :
You know every now and then i remember why I hate poloticians. It doesn;t really matter what party they claim to be with they are all power hungry individuals who work for themselves. I was just reading that Francis Maude says that “a gay leader for tory party is possible and remembered that anything is possible. What he means by this is that it is extremely unlikely that anyone who is openly gay will ever reach a position of power in the tory party let alone become the leader. However if we actually say that we may ostracise the gay voters out there so lets pretend to be gay friendly and just say it is possible. As for the readers of the telegraph who feel a gay prime minister would be ruled by his/her sexual proclivities do you think it would be rude to point out that a straight prime minister [and for that matter members of parliament] are also ruled by their sexual proclavities and that is why it took so long to pass a bill for an equal age of consent…

I though the internet was supposed to make research easy. nope the internet makes things take up way too much time. why make it simple when if we try really hard we can make it really difficult to use and overly complicated *sigh*

well it used to be

well it used to be onelist and then egroups and now for better or worse we have yahoo groups. the only problem here of course is tranferring your account for like the 3rd time and finding your username is already taken šŸ™

I just got sent one of those lists of quotes from famous people – normally I do not get chance to read through them but today I figured I should take 5 and have a browse. the quote I liked the most – so am gonna share it with you is;
Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.
Billy Crystal
This of course is the main reason gay men have better sex lives than straight men šŸ˜‰
