Piggy's soul mate

I really don't mean to pick on Piggy but taking a quote from his blog has left me bemused. "It will spur me on for this season and along with my soul mate Mini I know we can begin to strke up a good...partnership."

Definition of soul mate: a perfect companion and partner in life.
Are Piggy and Mini hiding things from us?!

Anyway, it appears that Shiz may have new neighbours as Mini and his better half, Charlotte, have had an offer accepted on the flat next door. I hope everything works out well and it happens. I am in the very early stages of possibly thinking about aquiring a property in Rotherham. In other words, it's possible I may try and buy somewhere in the next year or so. But don't count on it!

Was just skimming through the Lonely Planet SE Asia book. It is recommended you visit Cambodia now before it becomes another trip on the tourist merry-go-round, but I started reading about Pol Pot. I'd always known he was a shocker and probably the worst dictator the world has ever seen, but theKhmer Rouge regime 1975-79 seems even worse than I'd heard: total evacuation of the cities, 15 year old wardens in charge of the extermination camps, electricity and money outlawed (corrupting western influences)...and now it's one of the world's fastest growing tourist hotspots...
