The blogs of war

Ouch, sorry about that, just came into my head.

I've been in Manchester for a teambuilding extravaganza, and am not sufficiently wired to blog from locations with no PCs (note to self: earn more money so can have laptop). Have been pining a bit -- horrific war on, no means to say anything about it. I did see an internet cafe, but I was just too damn busy bonding.

Others are anyway saying far more interesting things. Salam Pax for one: unmonitored blogging from Baghdad. And the BBC news reporters for another -- somehow this feels more immediate and genuine than the relentless 24 hour news coverage, even though nothing of huge note is being said.

Mr B, I hope you are safe in Istanbul and not doing scary things on borders.
