Manowar are going to be at the Earthshaker Festival.
We (my friends and I) can't go.
However, we're organizing a SandboxShaker festival at one of my friends' home.

He just sent me the plans for the evening (loosely translated from hebrew):

Final details regarding SandboxShaker 2005:

place and time: My place, 7 in the evening, 7/25
Bring: Meat, hummus, pita bread, salads of all sorts (No need for beer, there's already plenty of that)
Evening plan:
We will eat refreshments of steel while listening to the warm up band of steel
Part I of the Manowar concert, Sing-along style
Dinner of steel
Part II of the concert
Beer drinking and sandbox shaking contests


I love my friends.

London's Mayor:
"Mr Livingstone said he did not just denounce suicide bombers.

He also denounced "those governments which use indiscriminate slaughter to advance their foreign policy, as we have occasionally seen with the Israeli government bombing areas from which a terrorist group will have come, irrespective of the casualties it inflicts, women, children and men".

He continued: "Under foreign occupation and denied the right to vote, denied the right to run your own affairs, often denied the right to work for three generations, I suspect that if it had happened here in England, we would have produced a lot of suicide bombers ourselves." "


Shit like this makes me so mad, it's not even funny.

I'm not going to take his comment apart and show you how wrong Livingstone is or what have you. It just ticks me off that a person in his position makes uninformed comments like these, with no regard for their truth or implications.
