Is this APT?? . . .

. . . You tell me!! . . .

All I ask is for you to read through to the end and answer THE QUESTIONS!!

Morpheus: I imagine that right now you're feeling a bit like Alice. Tumbling down the rabbit hole?

Neo: You could say that.

Morpheus: I can see it in your eyes. You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he's expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, Neo?

Neo: No.

Morpheus: Why not?

Neo: 'Cause I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.

Morpheus: I know exactly what you mean. Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know, you can't explain. But you feel it. You felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there. Like a splinter in your mind -- driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Neo: The Matrix?

Morpheus: Do you want to know what it is?

(Neo nods his head.)

Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere, it is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window, or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, or when go to church or when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

Neo: What truth?

Morpheus: That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were born into bondage, born inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind. (long pause, sighs) Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself. This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.

(In his left hand, Morpheus shows a blue pill.)

Morpheus: You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. (a red pill is shown in his other hand) You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. (Long pause; Neo begins to reach for the red pill) Remember -- all I am offering is the truth, nothing more.

(Neo takes the red pill and swallows it with a glass of water).

Q: Did UK Gov, ICO, Ofcom, BT, Phorm, VM, CPW and all other 'Authorative' contributors, take the Blue pill or the Red pill??

My answer: They took the Red pill to . . . 'See how deep the rabbit hole goes' . . . Into our pockets via taxes. Into our privacy via our browsing history and into our lives via making the majority feel Un-PC for not toe-ing the line!!

Q: Which colour pill do all the above want you to take?

My answer: The Blue pill of course!! Remember . . . "You take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe." . . . True, true, so long as THEY control your beliefs!!

Q: So which pill did YOU take??!!

My answer: I didn't take either one . . . I woke up to reality long before The Matrix could get it's claws in to me and I watched you all slowly descend into it's clutches.

Which is a pity really because before you took either colour of pill, you were truly great people, who had clarity of thought and a topnotch sense of Right & Wrong.

Now??!!

Depends on which colour pill you want to swallow!!

Red, Blue or none . . . They are all bitter ones!!

@ Jimbo Gunn

1.) Who you are. (I thought I knew already, thanks for the offer)

2.) The town you live in. (My village is a town?!)

3.) The type or pron you like. (There are different kinds?)

4.) Which banks you use. (I must be poor, I've only got one)

5.) The newspapers you read and your political persuasion. (Dyslexia is a bitch!! Isn't that a euphemism for an MP getting into his/hers secretary's knickers/underpants?)

6.) Your religious interests, if any. (I was under the impression that 'Religious Interests' and 'Political Persuasions' are one and the same thing. Please correct me if I am wrong. Or was that a euphemistic statement you made?)

7.) The names of your best online friends. (Please tell, I haven't any in the real world!!)

8.) Your best friends partners names. (My best friend has a Wife . . . you Sinner!)

9.) If you have any pets. (That's too easy, I have about 6 billion and they all live at the top of the food chain, apart from you)

10.) Everything you buy online. (Do you work for Phorm?!)

11.) Your employer. (That would be ME!!)

12.) Your next employer. (That would be BEELZEBUB!!)

13.) Your proficiany in spelling. (Better than your proficiency in spelling!)

14.) The state of your physical and mental health. (Deteriorating by the second due to my urge to categorise you in the Phuckwit Department)

15.) If you're over weight. (You mean 'Overweight', correct?!! I am lighter by at least one space bar you obese git and then some!!)

16.) What your foot size is. (12 inches . . . but my shoe size is a broad fit 9 or a medium 10 but that depends on the brand)

I apologise if I come across as being derogatory of your post but I am more interested in what you can tell me, from my last 'month's web browsing history' about my alien abduction experience, the voices that talk to me in my head, Area 51 and the Roswell Incident.

If you can shed some light on any of them, then you will have convinced me of 2 things . . .

1. I'm still on the planet called Earth . . . and

2. You are not!!!

Thank you for taking time to complete our survey . . . we will send you a copy of the results as soon as they become available.

This will NEVER happen . . . . . . .

. . . . .BECAUSE . . . .

'If' the criteria for amassing the points necessary to gain 'citizenship' to the good old UK [sic] is strictly adhered to by the powers that be, then . . . .

. . . . the Al-Fayed brothers would get what they have always sought, British Citizenship, especially Mohamed, in a flash, like yesteryear!!

Excerpt from Wiki:

"For years, Al Fayed unsuccessfully sought British citizenship, despite having four British children and paying millions in taxes; also donating vast sums to charities including Great Ormond Street Hospital. Both Labour and Conservative Home Secretaries repeatedly rejected his applications on the grounds that he was not of good character."

I think on the evidence above alone, you would have to concede and agree that what Ms Smith is proposing is just one more of a succession of ill thought out schemes put forward by the TWUNTS you can find polishing a chair (amongst other unsavoury bodily objects) down at Whitehall, Westminster and all other 'Civil' Service outlets!!

Take what I've wrote howsoever you feel, as is your right but I will finish my piece on an educational note . . .

Q.

You mentioned the word TWUNTS in your post. I know it sounds like a really silly question, but what are TWUNTS?

A.

Be reassured, there is no such thing as a 'silly question' if you don't know the answer. So to explain as economically as I can, without offending you outright, I will resort to lexicography.

If you write the first two letters and the last two letters down on a piece of paper, leaving a small space between them, and insert the letter 'A'. That's one third of the equation solved.

Next, write the last four letters of the word down on a piece of paper, leaving enough space to the left, to insert the letter 'C'. That's another third of the equation solved.

'Ah, I get the idea, let me see if I can work out the final third for myself'.

Now you're being 'silly'. The only way to achieve the 'final third' of the equation is to reverse engineer the first two, back to their original form. If you do that, then you will have the FULL PICTURE . . . . . . .

. . . . . TWUNTS !!!!!

To Summarise All The Above

Just to get one thing out of the way. Looks like the NSPCC spokesperson didn't read anything of what I read. This isn't about smacking a child/minor . . . STAT!!

So back on track . . .

1. What's to stop anyone asking for information about whoever they want to, without qualification/consent from the individual being inquired about, actually is in regular/brief contact with their child? Here are the scenarios:

A. 'My child is regularly/once in a Blue Moon, looked after by XYZ . . . Could you tell me if S/He is a paedo?

"No worries M'aam, will have that info for you in a jiffy. Just sign this form saying you won't pass on the results of our search of 'The Register' to anyone, while I search XYZ's record."

B. 'My child is regularly/once in a Blue Moon, looked after by XYZ . . . Could you tell me if S/He is a paedo?

"No worries M'aam, will have that info for you as soon as I've asked XYZ if S/He does/has ever had contact with your child. BTW, just sign this form giving us consent to contact XYZ, sorry but we need it before we can make an inquiry on 'The Register'.

Come on . . . Neither scenario fits the bill and that being the case then how can it be fit for any purpose . . . except one?

Scenario C (a hybrid of A & B and then some!!)

"I walked past/saw someone from my bedroom window/talked to in the street while I was walking my dog, a (suspicious) person I would like to know more about and the reason is . . . I've got kids. Well not me but my sister/brother/someone I know (vaguely) has 1 or 2 . . . I think."

Can this work?! Can any other proposal that has been brought forth actually work??!!

I guess all that I've wrote won't sit well with the: 'Nothing to hide, Nothing to fear' . . . Brigade!!

Have I got something to hide from or fear of? No, nothing at all, the only thing in my life to fear . . . . is fear itself!!

Will probably be flamed somewhere along the line for my post but . . .

Hey, this is my life and I would be an irresponsible person if I delegated my life and responsibilities to you and yours instead of taking the responsibility for myself!!

UK takes tough stance on piracy

My reply . . .

I feel like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day . . . I've been here before and it's pretty repetitive. BTW I didn't go to the cinema to watch it . . . despite all the hype, caught up with it on TV years later and found I'd saved myself from throwing good money away.

Anyway back to repeats (& bleats).

Apparently I'm a pirate, not just your ordinary pirate but, on reflection, a life-long one. You see, I was naughty enough in my youth to listen to Caroline, the PIRATE radio station, record music from a crappy radio to a crappy cassette recorder by holding them together and I've recorded films from TV by using a VHS tape recorder. Lately I've done similar nefarious deeds with CD's, DVD's and a PVR. And do you know what? I shared them with all my friends!!

How naughty can someone be?! Am I guilty of innocence or am I innocent of guilt? You decide.

So, back to the point in hand. Legislation is being mooted to force participants of a certain business genre to curb the actions of the subscribers/buyers of their product to protect the viability of another business genre.

So how does that work then, physically and morally??

Government to ISPA members, 'We want you to police all your pipes and cut the cord on anyone engaging in XYZ activity for the greater good of humanity . . . Oh and the RIAA, MPAA, BPI, IFPI members and anyone else who rattles a sabre under our nose.'

ISPA members to Government: 'So what you're asking us to do is, to commit suicide or worse still, Hari Kari in public? Ok, on your head be it. Aaargh, Splarrgh, Oooh, that's the life blood pumping out of our business onto your shoes, Oops sorry'.

And the bright light begins to shine as they pass over to the other side, ISPA's last words to their tormentors are . . . 'Where's your future now Gordon but more importantly . . . where's your business model now RIAA, MPAA, IFPI, BPI, et al?'

Finally, I've read all the analogies like the 'Post Office opening all letters, highways and crow bars, but there's one analogy missing . . .

The Beeb (and other broadcasters) will be held similarly responsible for policing what I and others download/record/timeshift from your many 'outlets' and share with others. You will be compelled to prevent me and others from engaging in such activity and 'cut us off!'

Is that ever going to happen . . . perhaps, perhaps not.

How does the cold steel of the knife feel against your throat?

About as pleasant as the sensationalist crap you churn out to keep your license fee monopoly does to ISPA members I suspect.

Re: Cobra Kai

Chuck Norris . . . 'Poisened Bruce Lee & would get best mate Charles Bronson to do away with Mr Miyagi and Karate Kid' ??!!

If all that is true, then it just goes to show just how tough Chuck really is!

IMO, he's just a big, badly bearded, WUSS!!

To set the record straight though, Bruce Lee died of 'acute cerebral edema' (Brain Haemorrhage to you and me).

This was caused by a member of the 1970's pappazzi asking Bruce . . .

'Is Chuck Norris as tough as HE says he is??'

Bruce laughed so hard at the question it killed him but not before saying, with his final breath . . . 'Tell Chuck, that's THE funniest joke I ever heard!'

BTW . . . Chucky was a Pallbearer at Big Bruces' funeral . . . My guess is Chucky was in some way trying to bury his humilliation of having his ass kicked by the 'little' guy!!

RIP Bruce, You still are THE ONE!!

PS . . . Chuck still hasn't figured out that 'Jeet Kune Do' means . . .

'No Roundhouse Kick'

Nuff said.

WTF

Can someone please tell me how . . .

'An illegal copy of the hit movie was available on a streaming website and downloaded more than 3,000 times even before the official film was screened in the US'

BEFORE!?!?!?!!!! IT WAS MADE IN THE GOOD OL' US of A!!' How come this guy got to 'film' it on a MOBILE PHONE before it was released!!!! Aaargh!!

Wake up to that question FIRST!! before going on to whether or not a mobile phone can or cannot store said movie in a decent 'streamable' / 'downloadable' format or not!!
