Yes. It was quite high but luckily it landed on it's feet. Plus it was only on the 3rd of 9.

It has since slimmed down a bit and apparently is now one of the cats from the Cravendale ad.

Could probably do with thumbs anyway.

An interesting article comparing the Greek political system to that of the Soviets:

(its translated by google, i should fix it at some point...)

Greece resembles the last Soviet regime in Europe. Many consider this an exaggeration and product of some anticommunist hysteria.

....


Another similarity but more important is the role of the party apparatus as an institution of professional progress and promotion in public administration and beyond.

The Soviet model has as found, and the absence of merit-based mechanisms, such as those guaranteed by the market mechanism in open societies and economies.

Millions of people became members of the party, not because they believed the communist ideals, but to ensure a professional restoration to a position of responsibility in bureaucratic mechanism.

In Greece, starting with student parties,...... no one organized a party or union for any other reason beyond the benefits it provides. All parties, without exception.

Greece does not prohibit privately-business, as the Soviets, but the bureaucracy and corruption are so developed that the only way one pays someone to do business is to steal from the state in cooperation with the bureaucracy.

The Soviets did not rob the state as businesses, but as individuals addressing the weaknesses of central planning to ensure adequacy and variety of goods.

....

The Eastern European regimes collapsed by the many debts that had accumulated when the USSR left them to fend for themselves in an effort to avoid the collapse itself.....

The similarities the Greek model is bankrupt most of the above. It is not accidental similarities of our failure to those of the Soviet model. Random could not also be that the future path of exit from bankruptcy will look a lot like the path traveled by Bulgaria, Albania and other Soviet "republics" mutatis mutandis.

The proportions should be taken into account is that the "Half-Blood" capitalism has achieved enough wealth in Greek society in the decades after the war. The "fat" this will make the adjustment of attitudes to data, an open and competitive economy easier.

Politics.... It's about the ideal of social justice and equality for the majority (all) in any country and the reality of greed and corruption and those who abuse it. Power leads to greed and corruption. Money comes with power , therefore the people in power are corrupt and not even answerable to anyone unless there is total transparency- Is there ever? NO .
All counties have their dark sides, some hidden well, some not. Some care, some don't. The media shows us a lot of bad shit but here in the UK Prime Minister cock sucker Cameron is too busy fucking up the economy and preparing another war fighting countries we sold arms to in the first place

^ So fucking cool

More human than human...

So freeking cool

Woke up today, looked out the window, and remembered an English newspaper front page that my English ex-boss brought to work one January morning. It said "Britain freezes over" and featured a picture with a thermometer that showed -5 degrees and a city street with 5-10 inches of snow.

I bring you: Norwegian coastal climate. These pictures were taken this morning, and that is all snow, not fog.

edit: did I mention we are in the middle of March now?

You are a lucky motherfucker. Here in London we have this shit:


On the plus side though, I did get a nice treat yesterday:



I'd trade 100 pens for some snow though
