Found Words'Evidence of corruption in the immigration service is a matter of the utmost seriousness. It will be a body blow to whatever is left of the credibility in this area if incompetence is supplemented by corruption.'Indonesia? No, the UK.

(Thanks to Kappa for link.)People are strange "Like all hamlets in Agatha Christie's books and the village of Midsomer, something evil arrives and misery descends," prosecutor James Ward said. "Bottomley was no exception. In 2002, Jeanne Wilding arrived as a retired businesswoman. From then on, Bottomley became the hamlet of horrors and the hamlet from hell."
He said that three neighbours had needed treatment for depression after Ms Wilding arrived in the village, and that she was feuding with 15 different people in the area.
The dispute initially centred around an unruly clematis plant, but prosecutors claim that Ms Wilding is responsible for 250 alleged incidents over 16 months, including dumping dead animals, rubbish, dog faeces, glass and nails around the village, damaging neighbours' cars, and plying local children with alcohol.
She has also been accused of booby-trapping paint pots, dazzling neighbours' homes with floodlights, throwing compost at her neighbours and assaulting them with her wheelbarrow.
Apart from the neighbours playing
dangdut music, there's little to complain about here.
Finally a reminder: Whoever sends me a screenshot showing (the closest to) 50,000 will receive a CD of Found (MP3) Sounds inc. Sounds of Living Interestingly. This latter compilation relates to the final weeks of Suharto's New Order and, obliquely, to the
ersatz Chinese proverb,
May you live in interesting times.
BTW. Those of us hoping that Suharto will be
legally judged corrupt will be pleased to hear that he's feeling a little better this morning -
the 8th anniversary of his 'abdication' - and doesn't expect to die this week.
So long as you're alive you can be pretty much whoever you want to be, but once you die, you can only be the person you really were.
