Shamelessly robbed from Metcountymounty’s post on Sheepdogs & Wolves (but also seen several times on other sites… yes, it’s an old one 
)
I think Britain most definately fits under the Socialism description here.
COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.
SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes one of them and gives it to your work-shy neighbour.
They laugh in your face.

Just found Facebook Chat for Pidgin - a plugin for the popular Pidgin (formerly Gaim) multi-network IM client.
It allows you to chat to your friends on Facebook using Pidgin rather than the little chat widget on the Facebook site, and supports showing the profile picture and current status etc too. Very nice stuff.
Just a quick post to mention Jamendo - a site I discovered a couple of days ago offering lots of free music from various independent artists.
So far I’ve downloaded several albums and a handful of EPs, and I’m impressed - some of the music is very nice, very professional, and not only free but also legally so!
Oh, and the download speed is ridiculously good - I’ve been pulling down albums at a solid 2.3MB/s (and yes, I do mean megabyte) - can’t argue with that!
It’s another good way to find new music (another way I particularly like is using last.fm’s recommendations stream, which will stream you a selection of songs that you’re likely to enjoy, based on what it already knows about your musical tastes.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything, so here’s a quick post blatantly robbing a post from a friend’s blog (original post on Sarah’s blog here)
Dear Walter:
I hope you can help me here. The other day I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn’t gone more than a mile down the road when my engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband’s help. When I got home I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was in the bedroom with a neighbour lady making mad passionate love to her. I am 32, my husband is 34 and we have been married for twelve years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that he’d been having an affair for the past six months.
I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. I don’t feel I can get through to him anymore.
Can you please help?
Sincerely,
Mrs.. Sheila Usk
Dear Sheila:
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the jubilee clips holding the vacuum pipes onto the inlet manifold. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburettor float chamber.
I hope this helps.
Walter
