Lost Blog

This other week I mostly managed to delete a blog, which was an accident and was down to me trying to sort out the email settings. I won’t even try to remember what was in there apart from the rather unsavoury behaviour from Pinchy who did his shell shedding thing and then proceeded to eat his own head.
It was around this time that we also went to the Terrorism exhibition at the recently opened National Library. It was memorable for two things; The National Library is a joke and the exhibition was a bigger one. The National Library is an impressive building but it would appear they spent the entire budget on the building and forgot the pretty crucial element to any library; the books.
We got there with 30 mins to spare before closing following a pre exhibition bevvy and were warned by the guard that we would have to hurry. Turns out you could get there 1 1/2 minutes before closing and still see everything. At this point we weren’t to know so we raced down to the lower ground floor, past the rows of empty shelves to the exhibition tucked away in a corner next to some more empty shelves.

Despite all the press and TV advertising the whole thing was set up with the appearance of something of an after thought. Sniggering loudly is considered inappropriate behaviour in a library and probably even more so at a terrorist exhibition, but there was nothing else to do as we filed past the shop front mannequins dressed up as terrorists.
Apparently people that stand with an unusual lean wearing green lab coats and balaclavas are to be approached with caution they are more than likely part of the Pembela Islam Islamic Salvation Front. You should also keep an eye out for kids in T shirts jeans and sneakers they are suicide bombers.
The exhibition was then taken up with some pretty gruesome pictures of the Tamil Tiger’s handiwork that included a lot of shooting hacking and burning. So we legged it with 28 minutes to go before closing and enjoyed a very fine Spanish meal at Chijmes instead.
