Could Iran be supporting the Iraqi insurgents? I can see one reason they might be. The bloodier the occupation of Iraq is, the less likely any future American president (who isn’t Bush) will be to risk it happening again in another country.
Though I think people said that about Vietnam.
I’m currently reading Shake, Rattle and Rain, which is a history of popular music in Manchester between 1955 and 1995, and the Tourist Information spot in the Town Hall does maps of Manchester’s musical heritage. So I thought it would be interesting to check out some of the places namechecked and add my own musical memories.
More in Cycling on the Pavement
A few new pictures in the gallery. Some of these are illustrations for this week’s Cycling on the Pavement, which I’m about to write up, honest.
Farscape is set to return, if only as a four hour mini-series.
Daz will be pleased.
A snapshot of the role of women in espionage during the Second World War.
Depending upon how energetic I’m feeling, I could cycle some of the Tour of Britain on Bank Holiday Monday.
Damian suggested getting a Spinneyhead allotment. A quick search found the Manchester Allotments page, which has a simple allotment finder. Not every site has its details online yet, but I now know that there are quite a few plots available in Levenshulme, whilst Brighton Grove, which is closer, has a waiting list. According to the FAQ plots cost �25 to �50 a year and should, at the very least, be kept tidy and presentable. I’d be up for it as a something-to-get-me-out-of-the-house, how about the rest of team Spinneyhead?
This week’s Photo Friday challenge is Tranquility.
There’s a new page of Deputised Experts up today, though it’s at odds with the theme of tranquility. Please click on the TopWebComics logo below and vote me further up the rankings. Thanks.
