Sorry. I forgot to mention that the Fried Breakfast Hat
2. This (unedited) email is definitely a spam, but I was intrigued by the address. Are there any of my London readers who can do some legwork, or other research, to find out if there really is a slimeball called Dave Osmond Esq.?

3. Re Jarkassas. How could Singapore possibly compare to life on the edge? Chubby Alexander Downer has issued warning of an imminent threat. I guess life is a risk anyway… I read and I vote…
C (Australia)
I have problems spelling my write name as well. It also took me ages to work out how to say it. The answer is to stress the last syllable.
Question one relates to my post two days ago; fellow expats agree that living here gives us something to talk about and, for me, something to blog about.
I heard yesterday that, according to Australian radio, the Hilton Hotel here was believed to be the intended target of the next bombing outrage. When I drove past it yesterday, I assumed that the lengthy queues of cars lined up in the road outside belonged to Golkar Party Congress delegates. However, seeing that the remnants of Suharto’s power base are actually meeting in Bali at the weekend, the bomb threat may well have been real.

The British Foreign Office
Update 1
Hilton hotels in Indonesia hunker down after threat
As for Golkar
Update 2
Indonesian police investigate possible poisoning attempt on vice president
And the three spurned politicians, Gus Dur, Akbar Tanjung and Megawati (GAM?!?) can continue to play their dog in the manger
Finally – and I do go on, don’t I? – voting is now open for the Asian Blogs of 2004
Re Updates
I’m indebted to Bart’s Expat Newsletter for the updates of the two stories, which I’d have known about earlier
“Once every fifty years or so, a single landmark event takes place
which has the easy ability to expose a thousand lies that preceded it. ” – J. Vialls
You should read his analysis on the Jakarta & Bali bombs here:

It’s really shocking!
