I went out for a beer this evening with me old mate Kevin Toolis........ its been a while............ like 10 years or something crazy........ since I last saw him he has made a ton of mega award winning documentaries....... he was a writer with Night and Day when I worked with him....... a specialist in the Troubles of Northern Ireland where I worked with him last...... he had written the highly acclaimed "Rebel Hearts' a journey's within the soul of the IRA ........ he was firmly a writer in my view....... but its true he had already made the odd documentary I think.......... but since I last saw him he's become this mega award winning film maker.................. which is very cool........ but surprisingly other than that......... he is completely and utterly unchanged......... so we could just pick up where we left off....... :-))

Kevin is not specializing in the IRA so much these days........... but he has not left the terrorism completely........ In fact he has not left terrorism at all.......... he has been seriously delving in the world of terror............He gave me a couple of DVD's........ of some of the mega stuff he has been working on during these cheery days of the 'War on Terror' ....... 'The Cult of the Suicide Bomber' and 'Car Bomb' the deadliest weapon of the 20th Century........ the latter I had certainly seen advertised heavily in the US....... decided to watch it...... then somehow did not got round to it........ without even realizing Kevin was the director....... so now I have a couple of heavy duty films to watch :-/ :-) :-)) and more freakishly a Hezbollah key ring ...... which is a great thing to receive as a bizarre joke gift from your old mate while having a beer in Soho House. Lets face it...... Its weird to have the new Hezbollah key ring anyway but especially without even having gone to Lebanon recently.

The image above is of a Hamas youth who was training with others at a kind of paramilitary Hamas scout troop in a mosque in Gaza....... they were practicing with Knives and other weapons and learning kung fu to attack Israeli soldiers...... they all said their ambition was to become a suicide bomber.
