Quote from Bush on the G8 summit
The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."
He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.
Come on, this has to be hoax, right?

The bell rings. I freak out, because my friend said she'd be here at *noon*, not at 10.30 and the house is still a mess.
"Good morning, we're just visiting your street. Can we talk to you about God's Kingdom?"
Er... god's what now?
Thankfully, I'd already had a bit ofRed Bull Rodeo and was quick to answer "er no thank you!"
"Can we give you something to read then?"
Eak!
"Er... no thank you"
I'd always said that if Jehova's Witnesses or whatever kind of christian cult-members showed up at my doorstep I'd just say "no thank you, I'm a big atheist dyke". But the woman had brought a very young adolescent with her. A 13-year-old boy or dykie-looking-girl (it's hard to be sure), and the kid looked so utterly miserable that I couldn't bring myself to say it.
Ah well, who knows... if they ever ring again I might get another chance.
Though I've always heard they put you on a "list" if you're rude to them and then skip your house from then on (Likewise, if you accept a leaflet, they also put you on a list to visit you again). Any ideas on if this is true or not?
