A Japanese experiment to test their airports' tracker dog ability has backfired... An official had covertly stashed over 100g of cannabis in a random persons luggage and when the dog failed to sniff it out, the person couldn't remember which random he stashed the test cannabis with...
...they would like the person who will discover his bounty to turn himself into authorities....
?!?
Brilliant!

Abramovich and Anelka...a perfect match
The megalomaniac billionaire owner is responsible for the shambles that is Chelsea Football Club. Abramovich has no shame and no scruples. In the best Stalinist tradition he contemptuously treats human beings as disposable objects.
Having spent hundreds of millions of pounds of his dubiously earned wealth on his Stamford Bridge plaything he has bought the right to behave exactly as he chooses. In his continuing desperate bid to buy supremacy he hires and fires at will. Only chief executive Peter Kenyon has the front to claim that the club which has a £736million debt will magically be self-financing by 2009/10 – yeah right.
Players are bought for outrageous sums, barely played and then purged. Managers either win and get the sack or lose and get the sack. The latest casualty Avram Grant is a reputed friend, so much for friendship. Clearly it’s true that second place is the first loser.
So who deserves to live in the Roman Empire? Step forward Nicolas Anelka, aka the incredible sulk. This player suits the Abramovich style perfectly. His track record proves he doesn’t regard football as a team game, that a contract is a worthless piece of paper and nothing and nobody matters other than himself. Having demonstrated fabulous ability at an early age he outgrew PSG, Arsenal, Real Madrid, PSG again and Liverpool, before ‘progressing’ to Manchester City, Fenerbahce, finally reaching the dizzy heights of Bolton.
How appropriate therefore that in January, with Bolton in dire need of goals to avoid relegation, the mercenary Anelka is attracted by Roman’s riches. Since then, surprise surprise, he has made just 12 starts with a grand total of 2 goals, still never having scored at Stamford Bridge in his career.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man, Anelka appears as an extra time substitute in the biggest ever game between two English teams. He misses his penalty which gives the trophy to the opposition. Does he cry like John Terry, does he at least put his head in his hands, is he angry, does he say sorry?
No! Actually it’s not his fault … “I was asked to take one of the first five kicks but I said that is out of the question. I have come on basically as a right back and you want me to take a penalty. So I had to go in seventh but Van der Sar pushed away my shot. All the better for him, that is the game.” In summary, he doesn’t give a damn.
Nice one Nic. It’s about time that someone did unto Roman as Roman does unto them.
:) How amusing...especially considering Moanrinho has also branded the now sacked Avram Grant a 'loser'! I love Chelsea...they're rubbish.

A random selection...
this is just a very random sample of some images ive er, 'borrowed' over the course of time...
Le Ponant
Just a little note regarding the header image. The rather large vessel featured is, as the title suggests, called Le Ponant. The ship, carrying over 60 elderly American tourists around Seychelles in February and having left the sunny isles for the Mediterranean, via the Suez, ran into some trouble with the renowned Somali pirates. It was hijacked- no tourists were present onboard- but took the crew hostage 3 weeks after this photo was taken. It was the same crew that we had all met on the Island. Apparently the pirates usually just ask for ransom but i never have found out what happened afterwards...
Welcome...
Hello!
