Right, so what were we talking about? Z

The Belfast 2000AD discussion group provides a blue-print for a true peace and reconciliation strategy for Northern Ireland.

Discuss.

[ZenArcade]

Well it is a cross-community based forum. It focuses on alternate cultural interests, eschewing the traditional paradigm. Z

And discussion is always better than fighting.

And discussion is always better than fighting.

This explains your failed career as a boxing promoter.

Cheers!

That and my abject cowardice.

Adam Curtis' documentary Bitter Lake is available for viewing on the BBC iPlayer: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p02gyz6b/adam-curtis-bitter-lake

Crap - I forgot the BBC iPlayer isn't available to the Mick.  It looks like a really good film, though; and I'm going to watch the bastard somehow

Where there's a will there's a Proxy.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Quite right, as my couple of months working in Beijing proved.  There is no Great Firewall for anyone in China with even a smattering of computer knowledge, and as such, a tidal wave of information will someday wash their paranoid government away.

Also, one of this board's finest (who asked me not to name him) has just PM'd me a proxy link.  Wahey!

[ZenArcade]

Dear People's Republic of China internet monitor, the guy you're looking for probably wears a cardigan and is probably from Tallaght in Dublin, Republic of Ireland. Yours Anon.

[JayzusB.Christ]

You're wrong.  It was another of this board's finest 

Mind you, Obama will know by now, and will probably sell Red China the information sooner or later.

Alas, the proxy servers themselves are trackable IP addresses. So the Great Firewall does exactly what it sets out to do, screening the majority and identifying the minority, then barring some real trickery.

Rumours of a nuclear explosion in the Ukraine. I can't watch videos on this 'phone, so I don't know what (if anything) to make of this.
