You remind me of this song. Dear Jessie by Madonna - gosh a blast from the past. Pink elephants and lemonade, enjoy.

Your kids will never forget this. You should be very proud of yourself Mr W.

Good afrternoon everyone. Has the news sank in yet? I wonder how many conspiracy theories the death of public enemy No. 1 will spring.

Anyway, camping was a great success, even had breakfast on the patio! Kids a bit disappointed that the traps didnt work, but I explained that a Pink Elelphant is very smart and very elusive!

Quiet day planned, tending the plants, maybe spraying the fences and lazing around

No, it has not. Interestingly the first thing that came to my mind was that he is still alive and somewhere safe (possibly lunching with all other rich people and politicians) but has just decided that all this is not fun any longer. I know it sound daft and shallow; but...

I have three concerns:

1. He will be seen as a matyr regardless of whether he has a shrine for people to visit.
2. Living in a large ethnic (mainly muslim) whether there will be be a backlash from either one side or the other.
3. How long will it before there is a terrorist outrage in his name.

On a personal note, I am concerned that my place of work will be a target.

Your opinion is not shallow FW, understandable is more likely. My belief is that they waited until after wedding!

Gosh that is frightening Mr W. I can genuinely say if anyone saw something happening they would do their very best to stop it.

I like your thinking SW but to be honestI think self preservation normally kicks in before thinking of others these days.

All valid concerns, Will. I have two things to say about this one: first, I really want to believe that people, I mean ordinary people, are better than that and there won't be backlash. Second, if there is it will probably be because of the disrespect shown by our wise PM - he didn't have to call the killing 'a great success'. Hitting the guy is one thing, gloating is another.

One thing is certain - this is likely to lead to disturbance of kind (in the sense of changing things and affecting the balance).

Unfortunately, I am not speaking about the ordinary people, I am talking about the cretins, the idiots and the extremists. As for the PM, well, what else do expect from an anal retentive and his lapdog sidekick!

Try not to worry about bad stuff William. Focus on happy things.

It is indeed worrying.
My first thought was what will the repercussion's be.
