Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

Today, in the most peculiar of ways, I discovered the term "Tena Lady", & what it means.

Hand on heart, I'd never heard of it. And no, it was not me that needed it.

Shocked at my ignorance, I did a straw poll in the office here (Feltham), & of 13 people, only 2 of us had never heard of the term, or product.

Hands up - be honest, no cheating - many of you have never heard of it either, have you?

How could this term have passed me by for so long?

How did you get to hear the term - did you walk into the ladies loo again? Were you wearing trousers or had you left them in your room again....? seriously Tikay people are going to cotton on to this eventually...

I was debating a matter (well an individual, to be more precise) on another Forum - no, not Sky Poker - & I had cause to correct some nonsense which had been written about me. In the course of doing so, I made some comments which, I think, were deemed funny - or at least, had cause to make someone "pmsl". Literally, I gather. So they said "I've had to change my Tena Lady". Whooshed me completely.

Genuinely interested in an expansion of your view.

I probably haven't read enough background info but what is it about Afghanistan that makes it supportable ? I struggle to see how it is justifiable or distinguishable from the Iraqi situation.

IMO, Afghanistan was a haven for terrorism that was clearly spreading to the west. (In the same way that the mountain regions of Pakistan are). The Taliban were actively encouraging terrorist training camps (or at least actively refused to deal with the issue)  and that meant that there was a direct threat to the west coming from that country. That needed to be dealt with after the attacks on september the 11th.

Iraq was invaded because Bush and Blair were embarrassed by Saddam Hussain. Everybody with half a brain, or just listening to the people that had experience working in Iraq (Mr Blitz and mainly Scott Ritter) already knew that there was no justification (WMDs etc.) for invading Iraq but that that was an invasion of opportunity.

So you don't think that the fact that 90% of the world's heroin comes from Afghanistan has anything to do with it ?

Of course it does, and it's a nice secondary reason but that's not a reason not to support the war.

The 9/11 bombers were Saudi's they weren't from Afghanistan and it's not at all clear they were trained there either.  The 7/7 bombers here were from Leeds.  You don't need to train in Afghanistan to become a terrorist.  Just need access to the internet really.  As for heroine, almost all the poppy harvesting had been destroyed when the Taliban were in power.  Almost all of the Government's arguments for this occupation fall flat on their faces when they're he;d up to any serious scrutiny. Miliband's absurd justifications for being there are appallingly tenuous.  We're wasting the lives of our soldier and every time one of them comes home in a coffin we get closer to a total the Government knows the public will not accept and they'll start to talk about withdrawing without actually saying they're withdrawing.  They've already started to actually with that nonsense speech Miliband gave about opening a dialogue with the less extreme wing of the Taliban.  If that's not a contradiction in terms and concession that they know they fucked up at playing Winston Churchill I don't know what it.

Everyone here knew what they were too (all men).  The 1 in 4 refers to the number of women who will need them, rather than those that know about them.

Do you guys spend your life in front of TV sets?

Ever thought of reading books, or learning about alternative broswers?
