Worked a couple of days in Täby. Pretty nice - almost like Fiskis. Eventhough Roslagsbanan seems to work a little bit bettter than Saltsjöbanan.

We celebrated my brother Andreas and my sister Annas birthday last weekend. Great food and cold beer at my brothers and his wife Johannas place. Later we went away to Mosebacke. Really nice. This is Fredde and Andreas at Mosebacke.

This wasn't the night boat to Fiskis... I had to take the bus. But it was okay, I managed to get home.

Crawled by the playground on my way home... It was green and weird... Some aliens played in the swings, but I couldn't catch them on film... They disappeared...

Rich came by for a couple of days of R&R in Sweden. There was a whole lot of drinkin' involved, but I hope he had a good time. I'm really tired now. It's much harder to party in Sweden than in Thailand. Why is it like that? Is it the lack of heat? The beer? The lack of cheap huge Margarita pitchers?
I actually don't have a good answer.

ooops, sorry we killed you 2.1


menezes, originally uploaded by John Barleycorn.

The latest victim in the Global War On Terrorism is Jean Charles de Menezes. ABC News reports that:
Witnesses said the Brazilian, described as looking "like a cornered rabbit", fell to the floor in a train carriage before a policeman standing directly above shot him five times in the head.
If that's true, it's totally frackin' horrible. Did they think he had the bomb in his head? There must be other ways to find out if "suspicious looking" people have bombs on them or not. Otherwise we're in big trouble. They can't just say "Ooops, sorry we killed you. But it's the GWOT you know. It's for your own safety." Yeah, this really makes me feel a hell of a lot safer. If we don't get killed by terrorists then the police will get us. Thanks George and Tony. This strategy of yours, waving a stick under the wasp's nest while drinking orange juice, will really show those evil evil doers who's the Boss. Keep up the good work!


Update:
The latest news I've heard is that Jean had been beaten up by two british guys a couple of weeks before his death and therefore could have been running away from the plain clothes police officers in fear of getting beaten up again. This just makes his death even more tragic.
I found this comment on the BBC News talk back. I think it's very good:
"A gang of BNP/National Front men look very similar to young plain clothes police officers dressed in their casual clothes and trainers. In this climate there are attacks going on by violent and misguided British men on 'foreigners'. If I saw a bunch of these 'thuggish' looking guys shouting and running after me, my survival instinct would kick in and I would be off."
I totally agree. I have written before about exactly what I think about plain clothes police officers. I don't like them at all.

Update:
7 bullets in the head and 1 in the shoulder...

thank you for the gwot guys!

I must say that this Global War On Terror is a great success! Have you ever felt safer? Almost no terror attacks at all nowadays!
But the GWOT lacks something very important. A really good theme song! I suggest The Isley Brothers and The Housemartins old hit song Caravan of Love - come on now and let us sing:

We’ll be living in a world of peace
In a day when everyone is free
We’ll bring the young and the old
Won’t you let your love flow from your heart

Every woman, every man
Join the caravan of love (Stand up, stand up, stand up)
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love


Why don't take it even further? Why don't George and Tony change the name of GWOT to Caravan of Love? Sounds friendlier and more reassuring.
