Relief to Blair as IRA formally bids farewell to arms ..
By Rashmee Roshan Lall/TNN
London: In an historic statement, the Irish Republic Army (IRA) has ordered its “soldiers’’ to “stand downdump arms cease all activities’’ and end a campaign thought to have been western Europe’s bloodiest, longest-running conflict.
The extraordinary command by the IRA’s still-secret, shadowy ‘Army Council’ for “volunteers’’ henceforth to pursue their goals by “purely political and democratic means’’, has been welcomed across the political spectrum, in Britain and the US, from where the IRA traditionally received monetary and moral support at the hands of Irish Americans.
The IRA, which asked its units to disband at 1500 GMT (2030 IST) made the long-awaited statement announcing its change of heart and ending more than 30 years of violence, after a tense internal debate on why militancy and violence is no longer the way forward in the 21st century.
Commentators hailed the “beginning of the endgame’’ in Northern Ireland and the first real move to staunch the province’s gaping, running sores, after the announcement by an organisation once denounced as “terrorist’’ by Britain.
But critics said the IRA had partly gone down this path before—in 2003—and needed to make clear it was in favour of peace for all time rather than simply the temporary absence of war. The IRA announcement it would finally take the gun out of Irish politics is seen as a crucial move to revive talks on a lasting political settlement in Northern Ireland.
The IRA’s statement comes seven years after the historic Good Friday Agreement offered a power-sharing arrangement between Northern Ireland’s deeply-divided Protestants and Catholics. The IRA is held responsible for nearly 1,800 of 3,000 murders during decades of militancy, aimed at freeing Northern Ireland from British rule.

Shamus was getting irate and shouted upstairs to his wife," Hurry up or we'll be late.""Oh, be quiet," replied his wife. "Haven't I been telling you for the last hour that I'll be ready in a minute?"

Cricket...
Football(soccer) vs Cricket
i am a weirdo in my cuntry (India)
i love football
dont blame me
i am from Goa ruled by the portuguese for helluva long time
unlike my fellow indians who learnt Cricket
the Britishers play football too
but the guys dat came to India
were misfits who cudnt run for 90 minutes
so they played Cricket
one guy takes the bat
he neednt run
he can choose a runner
one of the native indians who run for him
the rest of the guys who are fielding spread out on the field
all the guys wear long flannel trousers neatly ironed
it stays ironed
coz the 11 guys on the field barely get to touch the ball
out of 12 balls bowled one may come his way
he runs wid his cap on and holding his cap
he manages to catch the ball after much fumbling
and chucks the ball back to the bowler
he then relaxes for the next 12 balls (half an hour) trying to get his breath back
b4 he catches the next ball
there is a tea break
the match goes on for 5 days
OH HOW I HATE MAD DOGS AND ENGLISH MEN !
