Don't go giving him any ideas like that! Also don't suggest banking..

Not quite. Maybe in the US but in the UK the police do not usually carry guns so an arrest is not at all like that.. it is more a polite request to accompany the officers to the station for a nice cup of tea. If you don't resist you may also get biscuits. For dramatic effect the officers may sometimes say things like "You're nicked, sunshine" which typically elicits the response "It's a fair cop" from the cooperative arrestee.

Not since the duet with Kylie Minogue..

I will have to do one in celebration! As soon as I get back from my weekly meeting of the Peoples Front of Judea.. or was it the Peoples Judean Front?

and he'll have all the best lines!

is the only tool real geeks need to write multi format documents.. and bbcode of course. ;)

That was Iraq which was bombed and from that article it was even done with cooperation from Iran. Israel hasn't officially bombed Iran.. yet.

Not at all, just that such pacts and Iran's well documented past and present activities as regards proxy war makes the subject of this particular news item not exactly far fetched and in fact quite likely. Whether or not it is actually true is anyone's guess.

Anyway the whole situation with Syria/Iran and the whole region is dangerously close to spiralling out of control now and there seems to be no viable way out of it.

When? There were a few mysterious explosions and assassinations but I don't recall anything other than that.. Syria on the other hand was bombed, as was Iraq.

Then you've been looking the wrong way - Iran has for a long time waged war through its proxies, Hezbollah for example being the main Iranian weapon which it has used many times to bomb Israel and Israeli/Jewish civilians around the world on numerous occasions. There is nothing innocent about Iran, they have plenty of blood on their hands and the extreme islamist regime there is plenty evil without any help from the west.

As for this allegedly intercepted message.. I don't know how true it is but it certainly does not surprise me since for a start it follows their usual method of getting their proxies to do the dirty work and secondly, perhaps more importantly - Iran and Syria have a number of widely publicised mutual self-defence pacts for just such a situation so Iran is now obligated to join the fight with Syria if/when the US attacks.

Fortunately not all countries in the region are that batshit crazy.. Turkish authorities recently cleared a bird suspected of spying for Israel.. such a shame the bird in question wasn't a Turkey as that would have made for some great headlines - "Turkey spies for Israel!" followed by "Turkey clears Turkey!" etc.

That's what he wanted you to think.. probably just heard you returning with his super canine ears and quickly stopped whatever mischief he was up to..

The general idea I think is that the police would post it on their official facebook page, assuming french police have one. I've (unfortunately) had experience with exactly this.. being on facebook didn't work though and the person is still missing. I found that most people just don't pay attention to such things, there are just too many faces in the crowds we all walk through every day.

Does indeed sound like it could be a blast.. not that I've ever tried LARPing but still, if they have dragons AND women (not bearded men in a medieval dress) then I am there.. maybe.
