I must admit to being a little insular of late and I really do not have a clue about what is going on in the big wide world, I generally only get a small bit of down time to watch the first few items on the news, which is normally only National pieces and our reception is so bad that we cannot get any national radio shows. I am only getting wee snippets here just enough to peak my interest but does little to explain the full story. I am a bit lost really as I have no one worldly enough in my life that cares enough about world events to explain them. I must put that on my list for possible friend description. I already have Lucy who will help me with Te Reo, a good start.
I am quite interested in the chap Ahmadinejad I do not know what it is but I think it has something to do with how he looks and it does not really match up with what falls from his mouth. I do wonder how much is lost in translation.
As for this Myanmar/Burma conflict, how can I have any idea of what is going on if no one can seem to agree what to blooming call the country. I think it is something along the UN using Myanmar and Americans using Burma. Where do the people live Burma or Myanmar. 45 years of Military rule...........................the biggest uprising since the death of over three thousand over 20 years ago...............something has gotta give.
I need more time in my day, a stolen hour to read the newspaper everyday, right lets try to make that happen.

Hear, hear to the whole Myanmar/Burma thing! I am sick of every news person saying Myanmar formerly know as Burma. If you're not going to just call it Myanmar, why bother changing the name!
Sorry, just my preggie little bitch!
By the way, yes it hangs low and i can swing it to and fro. Doesn't quite make it over my shoulder though! (would sometimes be useful if it could as it sure gets in the way!)
