at the simple way tonite we had Chris Haw come and share on the question of whether or not to vote... it was a really interesting discussion and sharing time and i imagine there was enough sensible reason given to vote [and this seriously piss off the 'thou shalt not vote' people] as well as enough sensible reason given not to vote [ditto with the 'tis within your moral obligation to the world to vote' [...]

Famous stuffed dolphin No_bob encounters famous Petronas towers a few years ago i attended a youth conference in Malaysia and so naturally i took the world's most famous stuffed dolphin, No_bob [I was going to call him 'Bob' but he doesn't bob] with me... this picture in front of the Petronas towers signifies the tourist experience for me - feeling very very small in front of something that is very very big - [...]
