And laziness serves to demonstrate the point quite admirably, it seems :laugh:

Well, apparently....
Though I doubt there would have been anything regardless. :(

Been quiet today, then? Never mind Rav, you were working were you not?

Quiet may be an understatement... :laugh:
And yes, I was working...9-5.
And glad for it with these ridiculous temperatures. Working in an air conditioned is bliss.... :p

Well I have had a douce day, not in Glasgow. This was particularly good planning on my part because they set up fairground rides outside my window this morning and an open air stage acrosss the road. It was a little noisy, so I was glad to be out of it for a time. Though I am for it really. Tacky but fun :D

Ahh, glad you had a good time. :)
Honestly, if I hadn't been working, I would have found it to hot to go very far....I just can't stand hot weather, I have a fan going full blast next to me and still feel warm. And it's 21 degrees outside apparently. :rolleyes:

I don't like the heat either.

My mum was telling me there was a big armed police raid in her street last week. They blocked off the street and she said she didn't know there were that many police in the county! It seems to have been like that one in London and the local paper reported the people in the house were later released without charge.

I was thinking it is odd this was not reported in the national press. Muslims seem to have the impression they are being targetted but there are no Muslims in my mum's street. It would be helpful if the media reported every instance of this because it seems to me if it is happening here and in London it is probably happening all over the country. And it seems to be more to do with a police force out of control than with racism or religious bigotry

You are right. In fact my mum admitted that although they were all told not to look out of the window she did just that :speech:

Other people would go berserk, be mad, angry, or whatever. :p ;)

Does this refer to some obscure part of GB history in which you were trying to get a piece at every door? :o :D
