Really haven’t blogged much recently, what with Euro 2004 and other poor excuses.

Each election year, Family Circle magazine holds an Election Cookie Cock-up to find Americans’ favorite Cock-ups of the election season. This year, President Bush shares a recipe for her delicious Oatmeal-Chocolate Chunk Cock-up. Here’s the recipe:

4 reports from Hans Blix
1 “material breach” of the UN resolution 1441
1 small phial of Anthrax
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) Niger Uranium, at room temperature
1 link between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida
6 nights of shock and awe
10,000 dead Iraqi civilians
87,500,000,000 dollars
1 Saddam Hussein
5 instances of POW torture in Abu Ghraib prison
1 Falluja uprising
1 transferred sovereignty
855 dead US soldiers

Heat international climate to 350°. With electric mixer, cream reports, resolution 1441, Anthrax and Niger Uranium. Beat prisoners one at a time, then beat in hearts and minds. Add Saddam, Falluja uprising and shock and awe; slowly beat until country fucked up. Stir-up anti-american hatred. Slowly mould the enitre mess into half arsed solution using 87bn dollars or other peoples money. Bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes, until full democracy restored. Export to other middle-east countries.

Newsflash: Police have launched an investigation after violence erupted in the Big Brother house in the early hours - sparked of by the return of Michelle and Emma from the bedsit. link

Booze appears to be to blame, as the case in the recent rioting in Portugal.

So why are us English so f***ing violent after hitting the sauce? The french could drink us under the table but are nowhere near as nasty when tanked up…I think this needs investigation, and what better way than via the blog.

More soon……

Eurosceptic parties across the EU were celebrating an election triumph last night.

The president of the European parliament, Pat Cox told Today: “We are looking at perhaps 40 [Eurosceptic MEPs], maybe a bit less, maybe a bit more. That is about one-fourteenth of the total parliament.

So that means that most discussions are going to be pretty wierd in Brussels.

Ukip: We don’t want to be here.
Civic Democrats (Czech Republic): Nor do we, good point Ukip.
FolkeBevaegelsen Mod EU (Denmark): We agree, you guys rock!
Hans-Peter Martin (Austria): Me too, hey who fancies a cocktail?

Infact I think a Eurosceptic EU parliment may be quite harmonious. You never know they may all get on.
