Bow your head and pray for the tobacco lobbyists: Cigarette eyed in deadly cruise ship fire. Richard Liffidge, a 75-year-old passenger of The Star Princess, expired during the maritime blaze—and while the doctors are saying cardiac arrest, I think we know the real culprit.
Flavor country.
As for the song we’ve got for you this March friday—I should warn you that the Interns responsible, though they have dreadlocks and khaki duds all, are not remotely Jamaican. And judging by how they smell, I’d venture that they’ve never been in a bath, let alone the waters of the Caribbean.
And now one of them is giggling and singing “rub-a-dub Dub” over and over again. These kids are incomprehensible.
NEWSFLASH:
I’ve been informed by a visibly shaken Technical Advisor that something she calls “our registrar” is suffering what she calls “a Distributed Denial of Service” attack against what calls “their freakin’ nameservers”. See above comment about incomprehensibility, but I’ve asked her to explain, and from what I understand, she means this:
Some uncivil jerks have been hammering on our service provider and consequently preventing you, our readers, from visiting this site. If you are seeing this, then the problem may have passed. Understand that as I write this, we at The Times cannot view our own site.
I loathe mornings. Someone is getting FIRED.
