rusty trawler

Best of the season to one and all.

Disassembles bits and pieces from obsolete old computers, like the vic 20, zx81 and Amstrad PCW2000, fashions a funny looking altar with the old motherboards, genuflects in praise to Omalley the cybergeek god.

Good work, bud.

Agreed.

He represented the best of humanity and, in his desire to create a united South Africa, an acknowledgement that we are more alike than we are different.

I liked Bjork in that movie Dancer n the Dark..

there was director Lars von Trier, the bad boy of cinema, directing

I make no apologies for constantly harping on about how utterly brilliant Björk is, and I forgot to post this way back.

Enough already!!!!!

Far too many intelligent people that I rather like having fun with are wasting too much energy on this.
