Queen Live
Sunday, March 9th, 2008No, I am not talking the rock band… Freddie is dead :-( , so there is no Queen anymore.
Yesterday I have been shopping for presents for the little daughter of my best friend. While checking some little things, I saw some things that didn’t ring a bell and I went on.
While moving a meter away I saw a hair stye that I did recognize, even from behind. But I could not directly place it. The head did turn around and a friendly smile met my eyes. I couldn’t believe it, but the eyes belonged to the Queen of The Netherlands: Beatrix.
I am not a fanatic royalist, but I am happy to live in a country where it is possible that the queen can go to a shop and buy things for her grandchildren and that she does that too!
Good for You, Bea!! ;-D
Jerusalem attact: Interesting choice of words by BBC World
Friday, March 7th, 2008Watching the breaking news at BBC World about the terrorist attack at a yeshiva in Jerusalem right now. The title is ‘ISRAEL VIOLENCE: 9 people killed including attacker”.
For me it is interesting to see that the terrorist is counted in in the amount of killed people. Next to that the header “Israel violence” gives me a biased taste. Am I wrong?
In another report there is an interview with a certain Jerry Lewis. The interviewer states that the students at the yeshiva are learning about zionism. He is corrected by this Jerry Lewis, who says: “No, there are learning about judaism. They are reading scriptures and discussing them”.
There are no critical words about Gaza, where people are celebrating the newest killing of innocent religious students, by shooting in the air and kissing the soil.
The first report I saw, was followed by a commercial of World Travel & Tourism Council in Dubai 20-22 april 2008. Is this lack of critical questions caused by this?
Parking Guys, scum of the earth
Monday, March 3rd, 2008Do I feel aggressive today? YES, VERY!
The repairs of my car are expensive and take too long! That hurts, but I can live with that!
To park my car in my own street I need a permit between 18:00 and 00:00. I don’t like that (at all), but I can live with that!
Last night I had my garage rent car standing in my street. Permit displayed and a small note that this was a rented car.
I got a ticket of 50,50 euro, about $76!
It is very good that I didn’t see the guy, because I would kicked his ass, probably more!
My car is still at the garage… Another night…
