Still! If this book is a success some people who are very rich already might make some money out of it, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

When you look at the pictures of the guys responsible for the Rwandan genocide it's like... it's hard to imagine any common ground at all. Can you imagine meeting Felicien Kabuga? How that would go? How would it even appear as though you lived on the same planet. Like what you might make of each other's lives, any kind of conversation you might have. Doubtless, when you said to him "Yeah, you know... I spend most of my free time on the Xbox. I'm playing a female rogue in Dragon Age at the moment," he would thnk you were a fantastically trivial and pointless human being. And you know. He'd be right. But on the other hand, serious and important though his role in this world may be, he's jointly responsible for the deaths of 800,000 people. And that's probably worse than pissing your life away playing Xbox. If all you did with your life was watch Transformers 2 over and over again for sixty years you would still have lived a better life than Felicien Kabuga. That's a damning indictment of anyone's existence.

To brighten things up a little, I'm about to start revising a scientific academic paper that makes a "comparison analysis", whatever that is, of the "movement patterns" in what is called (the author's not English) "the female elite of the Beach Volleyball".

Earlier today, I had to write up a news article that compared this company's involvement in the software industry to the falling of the Berlin Wall.

I've got a white roll with two sausages, two hash browns, a fried egg and tomato ketchup for breakfast. This cost me £1.63 and it probably the best money I've ever spent on anything.

Well y'see, I skim read your breakfast post, just reading the food bit, then made an hilarious quip about it being far too early for eating lunch and that you'd be hungry by the afternoon. But then I re-read and saw that you explicitly mentioned breakfast which sort of made my joke make no sense, other than of course this being the lunch thread and not the breakfast thread. So I edited, assuming that you sit here refreshing and immediately reading anything that was posted. But obviously you don't.

I don't think cheddar works with peppered pork loin. You should probably take that back to the shop and tell them to give you something better.

I made it myself. The cheddar has pepper in it, so it ties it all together you see. Plus it's only a mild cheddar so not too overpowering. But it is a little stodgy without some kind of relish or pickle.
