Seen on billboards and clothing here in Gambia: 'We are grateful to Allah for President Jammeh'...'It is your sacred duty to vote for this man' - and you're wondering why Gambia, like pretty much all other African nations, is, quote, a developing country. Hard to believe the world sits back and allows such arseho*es ("I can cure Aids in 3 days") to assume and maintain power for such prolonged periods of time. And he's by no means the worst of the bunch, of course. When will it all end?...
End of rant.

Who doesn't like a 3-liner? (Quite a few of you don't, apparently.) Well, I'll have you know that many a critic has said of my work "at least it's in English" - and as for the great Stephen Fry, he once said of me "Vincent who?" Let's just say I supply the litter to the litterati [sic - but only at times] - ie: I write rubbish. But rubbish mostly inspired by the HAIKU, the 17th Century Japanese verse form consisting of 3 lines and 17 (5-7-5) syllables. (WARNING: flash photography and limericks)
