So, the items on the Gaza embargo list are there as a matter of Israel's national security?

Then, how come when Egypt opened its crossing:

Many had taken the opportunity to stock up on supplies in preparation for their return to a space where items such as coriander and A4 paper are blockaded by the Israelis.

The reason was revealed in Court documents:

According to an article in The Guardian 'The power of election smears | Comment is free | The Guardian'

Decided to celebrate the sixth anniversary of moving to Angarrack with a meal in the Angarrack Inn - now run by Alan and Sam.

We had a lovely meal on a beautiful sunny evening, listening to the birds singing.  Delicious Cauliflower soup, Calamari, Steak and Ale Pie with wholegrain mustard mash and Whole Megrim Sole.

Fabulous day ;)

From The Guardian

I nearly choked on my old man's sherry recently when I read about a 'science' teacher in the USA (where else?) who liked to add christian commentary to his science lessons basically saying the science he was teaching was wrong and that his religious view was correct.  He had been sacked it seemed and there was a 'reinstate him' movement from the concerned kids who were praying for him because they now believed science was unreliable.

So, in the cost-cutting programme which saw 140 Post Office branches closed, Carharrack was deemed unviable as it wasn't busy enough.  But not to worry, the locals were told there would be a mobile 'replacement' service....

But this week (as reported in the Western Morning News Wednesday 10th January 2010), 'The Post Office has rejected calls for a mobile branch to call at Carharrack in Cornwall'... apparently telling Julia Goldsworthy that an outreach service would struggle to cope with demand and threaten the long-term viability of alternative branches...

Finally, after all Tesco's talk of how they 'strengthen local high streets' a senior Tesco manager actually tells it like it really is

Tesco Bank's chief executive, Benny Higgins, said Tesco also had no interest in an outdated branch network: "Why would we be interested in where there are lots of people? There is no obvious attraction to the high street. It is not where the future is. There are lots of things for sale but the only thing we need is infrastructure."

Argh!!!!!!!!!

There are aspects of the expenses claim decision from Sir Thomas Legg that are disputable (changing the rules retrospectively, arbitrarily lumping all forms of cleaning together under a single cap, failing to establish the degree of culpability between the claimants and the Fees Office, failing to establish why not all MPs were apparently advised the same.. I could go on..) - but any MP who can say - straight-faced -as reported in The Guardian

The only thing to do was go to the beach!  With Astra
