If you've got a grandparent born in Ireland you are entitled to Irish citizenship, and could have played for Ireland in the World Cup if you'd been good enough.

We break for a newsflash from WSSBS:

*** Humphrey the Rabbit has been spotted near Bolsover, Ontario, in the company of one of those silly Osama Bin-lookalikes. They were canoeing down the Trent Canal together.

If anyone has forgotten, Al-Queda released thousands and thousands of Osama Bin-lookalike androids last year in order to make the search for the real Osama difficult, if not impossible. They appear to have succeeded in that aim.

Osama Bin-lookalikes look exactly like Osama Bin-Laden. They hang around donut shops and other public places, and make rude jokes about George Bush. There have been so many of them hereabouts that everyone just ignores them now. Fortunately their batteries are mostly running down now, and you may find one frozen in its final position. If so, cart it away to the junkyard, please.

It's so tedious...

But the appearance of Humphrey! Now, that's exciting! Stay tuned for further details. This has been a WSSBS on-the-spot newsflash, from Leslie Fernwinkel, small but vital reporter. ***

The REALLY scary thing is that one of the android Osamas apparently won a primary race in a Midwestern state...seems it had more charisma than the candidate endorsed by the party machine.

Well, I'm curious to know is what RO1SIN means by:

"...Palistine will win the conflict through terrorist activities..." & comparing it to Northern Ireland....Has something happened there that I havent heard about?

Also: "Brits never thought they would have to deal with the IRA, or Sinn Fein". They didn't???

Carol, I am very sorry to report that the famous Rombos' McGill with the mysterious figure in the door which was mounted on the wall at the back of Rombos' Restaurant in beautiful downtown Orilla (the jewel of Ontario) has....DISAPPEARED!!!

Yes. It's gone. Completely vanished. I discovered this myself just a few days ago.

I have no explanation for why or how this could have happened. IS NOTHING SACRED???

I think it would be timely for you to post a link to what may be one of the only remaining photos of this architectural masterpiece.

No further reports yet on Humphrey the Rabbit, I'm afraid.

It's a good thing we got the pictures, eh!

Can't post a link yet. PhotoLoft has folded and it's taken all of my beautiful links with it. All of the links I've posted thus far are dead. Dead links. Dammit.

However, as we speak, I am just now working on building myself a website at Lycos. It's pretty sweaty work, and I don't know how long it will take, but when I'm done, I hope to be able to post some new links.

Wish me luck...

P.S. See what I mean? Orillia, Ontario, center of the known universe, is flying apart at an shocking speed, hurling bits and pieces of its most precious stuff far an wide into the vast reaches of the unknown! Where will it all end!? *sob*

to answer your question, I think there will be a series of terrible terrorist activities and retaliation. I think the world will step in, declare a very conditional, very supervised Palestinian state, with pretty good international consensus about what needs to happen for the security of Israel and the conduct of the Palestinians. The thugs in Palestine will be demoted and the rest of the population will understand that this is their best and only hope and there is no alternative, much as they would wish it. There will be U.N. troops at checkpoints under strict standards of behavior and they will not degrade and humiliate the Palestinians, who will essentially have to live under martial law for some time but that is probably the best we can do. I would still like to see some continuity between a seaport and the West Bank in exchange for Gaza but I don't know enough to know how i t could be done. Vast immigration out of the Palestinian refugee camps must go on to all of the Arab and free world and Israel will have to curtail its invitations to millions of new settlers to come on down, under threat of cutoff of U.S. aid.

That is what I predict and it is a far prettier scenario that some of the alternatives. mg

The Brits never thought that the IRA or sinn fein would be in a position EVER that the brits would have to deal with them

The brits thought that They the brits would bring the IRA and sinn fein to their knees

The only way out for Sharon is for HIM to decide to give Palestine statehood becaus he will find out that it is impossible to completely stop the palestines in thjeir terror war

This is only an observation by myself

I do not agree with terrorisim by any one but I think what I am saying is just logic I hate no man isrealis, palestine Irish or British I do not want to argue

It is my view and mine alone

I am an Irish bunny, even though I was born an English Gnome, and I resent the fact that everyone thinks that I don't have feelings! The Brits never thought they would be able to cook me but they did. And very nice I tasted as well. I'm not sure if Palestinian Bunnies would be that tasty unless they were Kosher.

I don't know how far it is to San Jose but from Ushant to Scily is 35 leagues.

And no-one is arguing with you Roswell - just taking the piss...;-)

Your logic is good, R01SIN. One cannot indefinitely stop an oppressed people from retaliating against that oppression by merely increasing the level of violence of that oppression...unless, of course, one simply kills ALL of them. I foresee that it will not be possible for Israel to kill all the Palestinians. Nor will it be possible for the Palestinians to kill all the Israelis. An eventual settlement agreed upon by both is thus fairly logical...once they have exhausted ALL other possibilities, of course.

It is typical of human beings to try every stupid solution possible to end a conflict before trying the one sensible solution...a compromise based on mutual respect and goodwill.

Alanbit - If you check the Ontario map, you will find the tiny community of Bolsover, about halfway between Orillia and Lindsay. Bolsover has an entire division road devoted to its existence, with a sign saying "Bolsover". I went out there to have a look at the place, expecting to find a town. I found almost nothing. There are a few houses (maybe 5 or 6), a marina (I think), and that's about it. No post office, no school, no general store, no traffic light, nothing. Some town! I think the brief sighting of Humphrey the Rabbit is in fact the only thing that has ever distinguised Bolsover from an anthill, and I think that the division road sign should be changed to say "Nowhere". We will try to intercept Humphrey at some more northerly point on the Trent Canal...

Gee Little Hawk. Humphrey has made it to Canada! Why, the only Bolsover I had ever heard of before was a mining village near Chesterfield. But I'm worried about Humphrey, because I have been hearing rumours that he was spotted pursuing a cute little Canadian doe down a hole. I am sure that all God fearing Mudcatters will join me in praying that his virtue remains unblemished.

You guys certainly are weird with your bunny nonsense.

Basically Sharon should build the wall and shoot every Arab that comes near it because they have no reason to enter Israel.

These terrorists have no desire to make any kind of peace and the IDF should just go after them. Its the pansies and anti-semites in the State Department which blackmail Israel into meeting with Arafat, the terrorist in chief of the PA.

Wasn't Denis Skinner the beast of Bolsover? Weird coincidence or what? A skinner being mentioned in the same breath as bunnies! Perhaps that's why he was referred to as the beast.

And why should Sharon shoot all the Arabs? Why not let Tracy have a go? I don't thing that there are too many Arabs in Essex anyway...

Hey, come on, Louis! It is asking way too much of Ariel Sharon to expect him to shoot all the Arabs that come near the wall. He is ruthless and effective when it comes to mayhem, no doubt, but he's just one man! One man cannot possibly shoot ALL the Arabs that come near that wall. Even hundreds of heavily armed guards with machine guns could not succeed in killing ALL the people who came near the Berlin Wall. It is extremely unfair to burden Mr. Sharon with such a responsibility.

Furthermore, there are a lot of Arabs and Palestinians legally inside the wall too, I believe, in Israel on a daily basis! Must Sharon also kill them? Give the poor fellow a break, he has a nation to run.

No. It's just too big a job for Ariel Sharon. So, where is Rambo when we need him? Or...maybe we could clone Joe Stalin or Adolf Hitler to do the job. Yeah. Now there were 2 guys who knew how to get the job done when you're talkin' genocide! You follow me, Louis?

My take on things are essentially optimistic. In the short run there will be a two state solution, something that should have happened long ago under the November 1947 UN Partition Plan. There will still be some really tricky sore points -- Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory, the division or nondivision of Jerusalem, and the nasty and violent rejectionists -- but by and large a two state solution will work. Don't expect the Israelis and the Palestinians to be buddy-buddies, but don't be too surprised if you start to see cooperation, especially economic cooperation, between the two peoples if it is to their mutual benefit.

In the long run the recent turn towards religion throughout the world will ebb, provided we see the spread economic development, universal education, and democratic instiutions. When that happens all this now-deadly nonesense about Jew, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, etc., will something to laugh about as we share and enjoy the holidays and customs of each others' ancestors and of our own.

Otherwise we are f---ed big time! And by "we" I do mean all of us.

today was a very important day...I think Bush is just about on target..and gave a very important speech..

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A37357-2002Jun24.html

It is what needs to be done...the situation has gone on so long that the rest of the world has to come in and set limits..like auditing the funds..like saying Arafat and the terrorist thugs and the leachers must go and must not represent the Palestinian people..that there are things we won't allow...and that improvements to everyone's lives can come fairly rapidly...I think it is quite hopeful.

1. Hair trigger problems again. Is it because it's a Palestine/Israel thread?

2. I think Osama has rather cute bunny eyes. Is he perhaps the killer bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail in disguise, or is he really as gentle as he appears on TV?

3. Where did you get the moniker, RO1SIN? I'd always assumed you were an alphanumerically challenged colleen called Róisín.
