What's he on about now?

In case the articles, essays and opinions throughtout this site just weren't enough for you, here's my online diary (a.k.a. 'blog'). It's as close as you'll come to the inside of my head, so don't say I didn't warn you

   MONKEYS!

Because we simply need to know what's happening in the world of monkeys, the BBC reports on Delhi's plans to remove a hundred monkeys from the city. It seems they've been an incredible nuisance for the government:

The monkeys who have moved into residential areas and official enclaves due to Delhi's shrinking forests, are said to have become a 'security threat'. Last year, the ministry of defence found some of its top secret documents scattered all over the place one morning.

It was blamed on the many rhesus monkeys which flock around the colonial-era building. The prime minister's office, which is situated in the same block, is also within reach. A cabinet minister couldn't enter his official bungalow for months because the monkeys wouldn't let anybody enter the house.

Perhaps the monkeys have become the Official Opposition. They sound more effective than most!
