T.G.I.F. – Bendy Wendy

This video really is quite incredible. All we can say is put your feet up (not behind your head) and watch on. It’s all pretty amazing, but keep your eyes peeled at about 1min 44sec.

Unfortuneley there is a a fine line between passion and being fanatical about something these days.

Perhaps Jonathan Dodd’s thoughtful article missed out one aspect of adolescence- the search for identity. That desired identity might be similar to that of their parents or often completely different in the spirit of natural youthful rebellion- one that often weakens as the person grows older and has responsibilities. The search for identity often leads them to join groups that appear to offer the desired identity, especially… Read more »

I thought Jonathan was leading on to say that all wars are ridiculous and based on hoodwinking the young and harnessing their lack of appreciation of their own mortality. I’m not sure that saying western wars have been different in that our soldiers ” felt strongly that freedom and liberty were being threatened and they wanted to do something about it”, marks them out very differently from… Read more »

I don’t notice any of these bold jihadis taking on Israel when it has just killed nearly 180 people in shelling Gaza. It seems they fell better suited to murdering innocent people in Pakistan or Kenya, Syria or Iraq. I do hope that our own terrorists have not wasted their money on return ticket. Hopefully the Pakistan Army in North Waziristan is currently giving them what they… Read more »

Very thoughtful piece. I volunteered for the TA in 1978 when I believed the Soviets and the Warsaw Pact were an existential threat to my family and community and I wanted to do something, however small, to prevent this. (Running around with guns legally also was a driver for this 18 year old) I left the TA after the wall came down and the socialist mass murderer… Read more »

Perhaps if the “jihadis” in Gaza were funded on the same scale as the US funds Israel- perhaps they would?

(BTW I have no faith that either party really wants peace in that region.)

@paleo. Blair was not a socialist but a closet Tory as his post-politics career indicates.

What’s he doing now?

Making money- see todays Telegraph article “Tony Blair’s fortune boosted £13m by ‘bumper year” – while ducking and diving (aided by Cameron) to avoid the truth about the Iraq War coming out in the Chilton Inquiry report.

The problem with young men from the Middle East, or from families originating there, is a cultural one. Their cultures, whilst very similar, can vary from one country to another, but the similarities are basically that they are spoiled by their families, remain adolescent until well into their 40s, do not respect women or that women should have rights, and their mothers do not have an equal… Read more »
