There are no American infidels in Baghdad. Never!
Good old Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, first he had a fansite - We Love the Iraqi Information Minister dot com, and now the BBC reports that he has his own action figures - including a talking one. My favourite quote: "I speak better English than this villain Bush" - MSS actually speaking the truth for once!
Finally managed to find some cheap flights for July yesterday - An impressive £250 round-trip, beating my previous best price by at least £200. OK, so it's not a direct flight, but for those sorts of savings, I'm willing to be inconvenienced. For those as are interested, I found it on ebookers via Kelkoo, but it's not to Orlando and includes a few days either side of Nimbus.
Finally got around to watching the directors' commentary on Shrek last night, despite it being probably my most-watched DVD. A few interesting titbits, but I think in future I'll just sit back and enjoy the film properly. The film itself remains hilarious, and there are some great serious moments too - the love montage underneath Hallelujah is simply sublime.
Oh, and random channel surfing during breakfast found me at Challenge TV and a marathon of the insanely silly Takeshi's Castle - a Japanese game show featuring daft physical games (it's a knockout stylee), and mostly featuring the competitors who fail in the most spectacular (and quite possibly painful) fashion. Commentary by Craig Charles just makes it even funnier.
Cannot cope. Off to Chicago.
