Should We Nominate Inept Suicide Bombers for Darwin Awards?
The Swedish suicide bomber, Taimour Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, seems to have been particularly inept, just as I hope most killers and would be terrorists are!
If like Taimour, they kill no-one else, then surely they have made themselves eligible for a Darwin Award, by removing themselves from the gene pool. Sadly, he did injure a couple of innocent people, so this probably means he’s ineligible for an award.
The Stockholm Bombings
I don’t know Sweden well, as I’ve only been once to Stockholm on business. and that was years ago!
I do hope that the Swedish police get to the bottom of this and it doesn’t end up like the enquiry into the murder of Olof Palme, which came to no satisfactory conclusion at all.
Nude B&B – What Next?
The Times yesterday had a review of a nude bed and breakfast in Sweden. It must also be a first for a pierced male nipple on the travel pages of that newspaper.
This must be a good idea, as it will cut down the need of things to take on holiday, so you can get below the dreaded 10 kilo limit on Ryanair.
Funnily enough, the B&B is on the route I would take for something I’ve always wanted to do – Drive all the way round the Baltic.
I don’t know whether I could hack it. But at least my body doesn’t carry any excess weight, so I don’t look that bad with my clothes off!
