Theft

Eddie Mair | 09:46 UK time, Thursday, 7 December 2006

At the risk of turning this blog into a poor person's Wicked Whispers....which well known Radio 4 voice confessed to me this morning that they had pinched several chocolate Euro coins from one of our office festive displays? And get this: THEY PLAN TO GIVE THEM TO A CHILD AT CHRISTMAS!!!

Window On Your Worlders will note that Richard has kindly put links to the first batch in the right hand column. More will follow, as soon as we can.

    Am repeating this from the previous thread as the fun seems to have moved this way ...

    Book Club alert:

    (1) Don't forget to post any comments on Eddie's first posting on Monday, 11th December. Books currently being read are:
    (Nostalgia) The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton

    (Grown up stuff) My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.

    If you want to add to the fun by not revealing which book you are commenting on, I'm sure there will be no objection

    (2) FYI - Unfortunately, I'm out of circulation over the weekend and into next week. I'm sure there'll be lots for me to catch up on when I get back to base a week today (I'm still around today and much of tomorrow). But I know I don't need to be here for it all to happen.

    (3) But I realise some of you will want to get started on another read. No clear consensus has come through on the suggestions made to date, so may I put forward the following:
    (Nostalgia) Down with Skool - or any other Molesworth book, if you can't get hold of that one. And there's a great link if you're not familiar with the lad

    which will give you a flavour of the books.
    (Grown up stuff) Morse has been nominated by two people, and as Christmas is coming - and people's time therefore perhaps limited, etc. etc. - it would seem a good idea to have something 'light' like that, if you're happy with it. I suggest The Way through the Woods, chosen at random.

    I suggest reporting back on these on the first posting for/after 31st December?

    Alternatively, might I throw up an idea for consideration? How about A Christmas Carol by Dickens - I traditionally read this for many years in the run up to Christmas and found it very thought provoking as well and entertaining.

    Perhaps I could get some responses from you guys by midday tommorrow (Friday) and I'll post up here and on Jonnie's website.

    Thanks

    Our dear Mrs Naughtie (27)

    You may well be right, I am sure SSC would agree too.

    Did you know that this is a wonderful time of year when the humans decorate the home
    for us cats in anticipation of the visit from "Santa Claws."? The tree went up yesterday, and so did we! Whee! Made it to the fourth branch within the first five minutes before the Big Owner chased us out of the tree.

    So, as we do every year, we waited and watched the humans decorate the Cat-mas tree with all sorts of these things humans call "ornaments." We call them "cat toys." Ornaments are invitations to a cat, bright and shiny spheres just
    daring us to knock them off. And we're pretty good at it, considering all the trees they've decorated.

    Every year humans hang the ornaments a little higher out of our range, forcing us to elevate our game to knock them off. Humans "ohhh and ahhh" as they decorate the Cat-mas tree. Us? We salivate in anticipation of the night's activities.

    The humans retire to bed, as is custom during Cat-mas season, leaving us to play with our tree.

    Last night was a challenge, the ornaments were at an all-time high. We crept under the tree and began to scale branches.

    This is great! We exclaimed. A tree in our own home, why don't they do this all year-round? Five,six, seven branches, we climbed like pros. Ten, twelve, we are halfway to the top, and there is the first ornament! This is easy as Cat-mas fruitcake.

    We make our way down the branch approaching the first ornament. It lightly jiggles as our weight causes the bough to bend.

    Almost there! One paw away and we feel a shudder. Hey, something is not right here, we began to lose our balance. Woops!

    The room is tilting! No, the room is not tilting ... the Cat-mas tree is falling! ME-OW!!

    It seemed like forever as the tree leaned, then pitched, and finally crashed to the floor in a resounding bang of exploding bulbs, ornaments, and broken limbs.

    We quickly extricated ourselves from the splintered tree just as the Big Owner came bursting in snapping on the lights and talking excitedly.

    There we were, sitting next to the tree, as innocent a look on our faces as any other in the household.

    "What happened?" he growled. Not a peep from us, we turned and looked at the tree.

    "I guess we hung too many ornaments on one side of the tree," we heard him say later as he hoisted the mangled Cat-mas tree back into place.

    "Goo-ood answer," we thought. Oh yes! very goo-ood answer. (for a human).

    The Big Owner staggered off to bed, and we retreated to the living room.
    Maybe we'll tear down those stockings that they hang by the chimney on Christmas Eve. They do it "with such care".

    All in all it was a good night.

    And a good night to you too Mrs Naughtie - wherever you are.

    Eddie,

    THREE and a half years after the fall of Baghdad, it is clear that the well-intentioned campaign to bring democracy to Iraq and remake the political landscape of the Middle East is hopelessly stalled. Violence, whether committed by anti-Western insurgents or sectarian militia members, has become such a feature of daily life in Iraq - specifically in and around Baghdad - that it would be hard to escape the conclusion that the presence of foreign troops might well be causing more problems than it solves.

    Even those Iraqis who are not directly affected by the violence are forced to live in a country whose Government is unable to provide basic services and infrastructure. Certainly, getting the troops home has been the object of the US campaign from day one. From the start, this was not a war of occupation but of liberation.

    Today, foreign troops raise rather than lower the political temperature in the country, provoking violence merely by their presence. And in being the main avenue for security in Iraq, they prevent the Iraqi security forces from doing their job - namely, ensuring the safety and sovereignty of the new Iraqi Government.

    As I have noted elsewhere, I am a foreigner, and thus a bit thick in the head as well as dermally. Otherwise everything in proper proportion.

    May I take the opportunity, yet again, to thank my host culture for all the allowances for my foreign-ness y'all have made over the years, and to encourage us all to make similar allowances for everyone else, since in many ways we all inhabit single-occupancy planets.
