THE ROLAND SAGA

STORMBRINGER SENDS...............
Some telling comments from Gadhafi's son today in the Glasgow Herald. He anticipates deals between Libya and London, Edinburgh; and he declares Megrahi is "an innocent man". Gadhafi himself states that the United States knew well in advance about Megrahi's release. This further backstops the indicators I covered on blog STORMBRINGER (23 August 2009) . that A) Megrahi's release was no surprise to London & the U.S., B) some kind of economic arrangement was agreed upon, and C) Libya was NOT responsible for the 1988 Lockerbie bombing; possibly Iran and/or Syria were. Politics makes strange bedfellows, that's for sure.

Friday Wisdom.............
1. A day without sunshine is night.
2. On the other hand, you have different fingers.
3. 42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
4. 99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5. Remember, half the people you know are below average.
6. He who laughs last, thinks slowest.
7. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
8. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese in the trap.
9. Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.
10. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory..
11. Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
12. If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
13... OK, so what's the speed of dark?
14. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane..
15. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.
16. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?
17. Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
20. What happens if you get scared half to death, twice? Do We Die?
21 Why do psychics have to ask you your name?
22. Inside every older person is a younger person wondering, 'What the heck happened?'
23. Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.
24. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
25. Life isn't like a box of chocolates. It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your butt tomorrow.

Print your own GCSE Certificate...........
Didn’t do so well in your GCSE’s? Didn’t get the grades you were hoping for? (By the way, never end a sentence with a preposition). Never mind, now you can simply print a certificate (see attached) and fill in any results you want. They’ll never know, and besides most of your course work’s been cribbed (that means copied) from the internet anyway, so why not the end result? Go for it, what harm can it do?
Are the results of your contempories a bit better than last year? Never mind. With Certificate-to-go you too can move forward to face your chosen career with confidence. It’s simple….
Let’s say you got a B in Media Studies and you’re desperate to take it further. Don’t worry. With this certificate, you can fill in whatever you need. If Sharon in Form 5B did better than you, simply print off the certificate and fill in the blanks. Be sure to write in capitals in black ink, though. Yes, with a pen. You can get them from stationery shops. They have ink in. OK, type it then. Put an ‘a’, no, that’s a ‘capital A’. Press the shift key first, and then you’ll need a star, top of the keyboard in the middle. No, right a bit. That’s it. And now you have an excellent grade which will get you into Woolwich Metropolitan University for you to do A-levels, which used to be a degree course when it was a Polytechnic, so you’re doing very well.
Also accepted by employers who got far fewer qualifications than this certificate makes it possible for you to get.
A word of warning though. Certificates showing A, A* and even B grades will help, but others showing C or lower really won’t do as they’re pretty much irrelevant these days. So be careful. If in doubt get a grown up to help you, or look up anything you need on the internet, which will entail… No, hang on – you probably know all about that already.

TRUE LOVE.............
An elderly gent was invited to an old friend's home for dinner one evening. He was impressed by the way his buddy preceded every request to his wife with endearing terms such as: "Darling", "Honey", "My Love", "Pumpkin", "Sweetheart", etc.
The couple had been married FIFTY years and, clearly, they were still very much in love.
While the wife was in the kitchen, the man leaned over to his host, and said: "I think it's wonderful that, after all these years, you still call your wife those loving pet names."
The old man hung his head. "I have to tell you the truth," he said. "Her name slipped my mind about 10 years a go, -- and I'm scared to death to ask the old bitch what it is."

Woman applying for a job in a Florida.........
Woman applying for a job in a Florida lemon grove seemed to be far too qualified for the job.
So, the foreman frowned and said, “I have to ask you this; “Have you had any actual experience in picking lemons?”
“Yes, as a matter of fact, I have!” she replied. “I’ve been divorced three times and I voted for Obama.”
She got the job.
