    Correctly?

    Steven, I like this one of you at work.

    Sorry, didn't mean to put words in your mouth, Giovanni. That act couldn't be unplanned, so at least someone knew beforehand if not the overall organisers whoever they were.

    I actually like living in a pluralistic country where vandalism of Jewish and Muslim houses of worship and graves is rare enough to still be shocking and held in general contempt.

    I agree, Craig, that it is wonderful we live in a land of such relative peace and respect (ignoring social inequalities for now) and I think Giovanni made the right decision not to join such a poorly thought out protest.

    I also found myself mightily pissed off hearing the US rep to the UN pompously supporting a murderous invasion after an illegal blockade and decades of disrespect for UN rulings by Israel, accompanied this time by a suppression of reporting decreed illegal by their own courts (Fisk on the unintended consequences of that). And I want to make clear that I'm not impressed with Hamas's tactics and behaviour either.

    I will reflect further on my respective responses to the invasion and the protest, but I can understand why some would question local media's choice of tone in both instances.

    Seemed like a half-hearted gesture anyway - only one drop of blood. C'mon.

    can also choose to download their favorite songs from the world’s largest music catalog directly onto their iPhone™ 3G over their 3G network just as they do with Wi-Fi today

    No time to follow up today, but is anyone writing about what this means for the deals Apple struck with the mobile networks? And what impact it might have on their data pricing in our fair land?

    happily devour more of your mother's travel stories, should you feel inclined to share more

    The next PAS book project, perhaps? I'd say talk with Haywood, but you may need a graceful agent..

    wet raincoats and widdle in the new entrants' cloakroom

    So that's what that smell was. Rob unlocks another of life's liddle mysteries.
