Bastardisation of the East: August 2006
http://bastardised.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 03, 2006. Why We Fight (2005). A term coined by then-president Eisenhower. Eisenhower oversaw the development of this vast military power during the Cold War, but at the end of his second term as president, and when the threats of the Cold War had passed, he had warned of the perils of such power:. The documentary also brings to light important questions about how public opinion is manipulated, lies have been dispensed in every war involving America since the 60's and the question of cen...

Bastardisation of the East: Holiday Photos...from Afghanistan!
http://bastardised.blogspot.com/2010/03/holiday-photosfrom-afghanistan.html
Friday, March 12, 2010. Holiday Photos.from Afghanistan! Sorry for the misleading title. I couldn't help myself. But here's a few snaps I took on a sleepy flight heading westbound back to the UK. Obviously when I awoke to the GPS map flashing on my in-flight entertainment system, I was shocked! But once all fears had subsided of missile attacks (mostly friendly fire from American planes I suppose), I began to appreciate the awesome landscape of Afghanistan. So here's a little tidbit. At 33,000ft.

http://bastardised.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-moon-if-ever-there-was-turd-at-box.html
Wednesday, January 13, 2010. New Moon: If ever there was turd at the box office. This one would be sinking right to the bottom. Have you ever seen a poster for a movie promo and immediately thought "that looks like a shit film"? If not, there's always a first time and a poster for The Twilight Saga: New Moon might inspire just such thoughts. Here it is. Unlikely.) that centers a love triangle between a young woman and two young men. One's a werewolf and the other a vampire. Hollywood took a big dump on t...

Bastardisation of the East: Anti-War Protest Washington DC
http://bastardised.blogspot.com/2010/02/anti-war-protest-washington-dc.html
Sunday, February 07, 2010. Anti-War Protest Washington DC. A short and playful video shot in March 2008 by Marion Toruno, when the US Administration was still very much in the firm grasps of Bush and Cheney. It doesn't say much, but I've always had an interest in videography and this one is beautifully edited together with music and seems to capture a mood of dancing hippies and patriotism that you will rarely see on any of your news networks, cabled or non-cabled.

Bastardisation of the East: Broken Home
http://bastardised.blogspot.com/2010/03/broken-home.html
Monday, March 15, 2010. Today, 65% of children live with both birth parents, almost 25% live in lone parent families, and 10% live within a stepfamily.". Life in the United Kingdom (Home Office publication). Hooray sanctity of marriage! The figures above were quoted in a 2007 publication by the Home Office (which I'm currently reading for my permanent residence exam) for children and young adults under the age of 20.

Bastardisation of the East: June 2006
http://bastardised.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 15, 2006. A meeting of the mindless. It's the ultimate crossbreeding from hell, as Simon Heffer reviews. Para; posted by the leech at 6/15/2006. Pick of the month: GASH. Uh oh, do I smell competition. Well, I finally got around to finishing Melanie Phillips’ ‘Londonistan’ . and if you thought that Satanic Verses was a tiresome drudge, then you aint seen nothing till you’ve finished this marathon trudge through a huge vat of very sticky treacle. For flagrant defiance of the rule of law: See...

Bastardisation of the East: Weird use of the word 'warned'
http://bastardised.blogspot.com/2010/01/weird-use-of-word-warned.html
Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Weird use of the word 'warned'. Not only does this Guardian. Article start off more like a Zen Buddhist koan than a news story, it also finds something new for us to be afraid about:. Human beings are making it harder for extraterrestials to pick up our broadcasts and make contact, the world's leading expert on the search for alien life warned.

Bastardisation of the East: Oooh, regulating sarcasm. What a useful idea...
http://bastardised.blogspot.com/2010/01/oooh-regulating-sarcasm-what-useful.html
Wednesday, January 20, 2010. Oooh, regulating sarcasm. What a useful idea. Indispensible piece of punctuation. Been all my life? I can't for the life of me think how I survived without it:. Take it literally; please do. Feel stung and diminished.' But no, I'll take this accessible symbol and clasp it to my bosom. After all, where's the fun in making sarcastic statements if you cannot telegraph them in a nice, orderly, obvious manner. So I can draw on its powers in conversations in the real world too.

Bastardisation of the East: The next mission
http://bastardised.blogspot.com/2010/01/next-mission.html
Monday, January 25, 2010. So Clyde, that was a highly successful round of Modern Warfare 2 on Sunday morning. Ridiculously early on Sunday morning, I should add. And having checked out the competition I believe that our numerous successes, particularly in the Terminal stage, were quite an accomplishment. Certainly our tactics were far superior to those exhibited in this video:. This shouldn't be too hard - I don't think he sleeps so easily these days either). Para; posted by the leech at 1/25/2010.

Saturday, October 28, 2006. Apparently his new movie will say more about Americans than it does his anti-semitism. My best assignment was when I did reporting for Miss Kazakhstan Contest from 2002. Wowowoeewow! It was win by Karangash Atmova. You know her? She have beautiful hair and pair of . teets? That make a dangle 1.3 meter because she attach a rock to them . 1.4 meter including milk valve. It was judged by American sports star OJ Simpson. You know him? Para; posted by Jon at 10/28/2006.
