This goes two ways. She’s a great person, no doubt. Perhaps one of those untouchable, enthusiastic, energetic souls around. Almost like Dina. Yes.

Given that her name was that, she’s joyful, well, for most of the time. And talking to her was pretty relaxing that day. Outside her studio and having just the trees, the grass, the moon and the stars. Was talking about some kind of irony. But yes, even she admited that it was kinda hard for me.

Which brings us to the second definition of that line. Talking to Joy. I think joy comes to us when we realise what we need and what we are. I thought about the irony, weeks ago, and here, right now, I dare proclaim that I do not suffer from that irony no more. It’s a process of understanding that things are not meant to be and thus, it shall be left alone.

Yup! Indeed this is life~

Lol, this is a lighter issue. Aint anything scary, or cryptic. You know, the funny thing about life is when you MOST expect yourself to be busy, it turns out to be kind of like a relaxing moment of fun and joy.

Truly. This is refer to EXAMS. Yes, my semester based exams are normally the culmination of the whole semester’s worth of work and learning. BUT. What I’ve come to discover is that exams is the slack period for me. Alright.

By that, I do not claim that I spent loads of effort (especially in this semester) before my exam revision period, but I plainly refer and compare the enormity of project assignments vs the exams.

Projects are scary. There’s just so much so much to do. Deadlines, meetings, codes, reports.

Exams are just. A 2 hour affair. Yes, it is that simple.

And plus the fact that I’m playing games and relaxing so much, compared to my previous few weeks when I was busy with my projects… This seemed to be quite a happy life.

Ironic is it not? I’m feeling all comfortable with exams now. Haha. Maybe they don’t matter as much to me as they are to others. But yea… AFter the exams, then it’ll be work period. My final project. It’s always like that.

Exams = termination of all duties except studying.

After exams = restart of all duties except studying.

I prefer to study sometimes. Well, haha.

There was these two dudes offering coffee to us just now. How nice. I was truly surprised when they came to our table and politely asked if we would love to have some? We did, and they even had cups for us. How sweet was that

That picture is obviously not it. I took it from some random site from the demi-god Google. Haha.

Some kindness is really nice. I’m feeling warm. A certain fuzziness inside. When strangers can do so to strangers, how beautiful that is. Thank you guys! And a slight chat about studies and stuff, it’s really pleasant, helps to ease the mood. Thank you so much again!

We don’t get much people like them around. Good one guys May your endeavours be showered with kindness as that which you had given us!

The fish was seventeen when it had its first touch on the broken glass. It was time for a migration, a time when fishes from all around the world flock towards the hell hole of a billion promises. Mumma fish and Pappa fish was happy. So were the other fishes. Yet.

The future is uncertain. The mind of the seahorse is set. There would be freedom. There would be conditioned filialty, as was appropriately administered by them. There is no more of pawn, prawns and fishes. The seahorse is grown now. It is his world now. The broken glass is a terrible business. But the seahorse had learned enough to be scarred for ten million years. Look closely. You might even see a piece of fossil fuel containing broken glass.

—————————————————

I’m not a nice person. But given the circumstances, given the chances, given my attempts. My rage is only natural. This world is unjust. So shall it be. There is no justice. The broken glass. Remember?

Who cares about a crying fish anyway? Its tears could not be seen. They melt into the silver pools of mercury within this diamond prison of glitter.

Right. Just a quick post to say that I’ve updated my webpage with an extension of an older programme in OpenGL. The previous programme displayed a cube that could be rotated on its various axis, I made changes so the cube now has a texture on each side. The programme still needs tweaking as three of the sides have a mirrored image of the texture that needs fixing.

The texture class that was created can only take Unsigned TGA files, I knocked up a pretty poor one in GIMP for the purpose of the programme just so I could test that it worked!

Thanks for reading. Comments appreciated.

MEMBERS of the anti-Islam Scottish Defence League are planning a second protest in Scotland after claiming their Glasgow march was a “success”.

And they are targeting Edinburgh for their next outing, saying they plan to march on the capital in the new year.

Just around 50 members of the controversial group made it to Glasgow last Saturday, with many claiming they had been warned off by Strathclyde police.

But despite being outnumbered by a counter-march celebrating the diversity of Scotland, the group have declared the outing a victory.

A report on the protest, on the Casuals United website, said: “Glasgow demo a big success – over 120 lads from various Scottish clubs who were previously enemies came together for a demo.”

Casuals United is the website used by the original English Defence League which was started among the football casual community in Luton.

They have since spawned groups in Wales and, more recently Scotland.

YouTube video

And despite being penned in to a city centre bar before being bussed out to suburbs of the city to prevent violence, the organisation is determined to bring its views to Edinburgh.

The group uses social networking sites to organise the meetings and recruit members.

A message sent round the members of British Citizens Against Muslim Extremists – one of the Facebook groups supporting the Scottish Defence League (SDL)  – confirmed plans for a second Scottish march.

It included a link to a video posted on YouTube entitled ‘Victory in Glasgow – SDL See You in Edinburgh’.

Featuring the Beatles song ‘Revolution’ and pictures from the Glasgow protest last weekend, it acts as a rallying cry to SDL members across the country.

Text rolls across the screen, interspersed with the Saltire.

It reads: “Over 200 supporters met up, most of whom were Scottish. The police employed the now familiar tactic of splitting our supporters into smaller groups and even preventing people going to the demo spot.

“It doesn’t matter to us, it is STILL a massive victory. Every time we demonstrate our numbers grow.

“Next stop Edinburgh. See you in Edinburgh.”

The date of the next march has yet to be confirmed by the group, who have only hinted that it will be next year.

Clowns

But despite the calls of victory, the Glasgow outing didn’t impress every supporter of the left-wing group, with many of them calling the static protest “pathetic”.

One member wrote on a forum for the group that “people were literally laughing at us like we were clowns”.

They have also received strong criticism from Scottish politicians who were part of the thousand-strong counter-protest that gathered on Glasgow Green on Saturday.

Bill Aitken, Conservative MSP for Glasgow, said: “I think that this is a demonstration that we could well do without. The vast majority of people condemn Muslim extremism, including the Muslim community themselves.

“I really do not see any need for this type of demonstration which is divisive and can in itself stir up trouble.”

Its common knowledge amongst my friends and family that I want to be a game developer. And the past few days I’ve been smacking myself to get going. Over the next little while, amongst searching for employment, volunteering, settling accounts, and getting back to school, I’ll be working on various ‘from scratch’ versions of various games that people are probably familiar with. For instance, the first will be a tetris clone.

Unless convinced otherwise, I’ll be writing in c++ using sdl. I may compose an alternate version in a microsoft environment in order to compare the two, but for now I’m working with what I know.

Nu har vi lagt till den scannade skissen i kravspecifikationen. Vi märkte efteråt att alla sidnummer försvann när vi uppdaterade innehållsförteckningen och nu lyckas vi inte få tillbaka dem. Det borde ju inte vara så svårt?

Sen spenderade vi två timmar på att experimentera med SDL. Vi lyckades få en bild att följa muspekaren, och minska x-position vid en tangenttryckning. Koden är lite rörig och kommer inte att användas till projektet, men det var nyttigt att se hur det kan implementeras.

I saw a dead fish. And saw another. And another. Yeeeeee harrrrr~~~ It’s still, unmoving, dead. Sitting on the platter before a pool of soup. Yes it is, dead. Its unmoving eyes gazing on a fishball in the soup. Unmoving. Unmoving. All’s still. A fly flew pass. Its eyes did not move. I wonder if dead roaches are the same.

I see things that persists for that guy before me. I wonder sometimes, why so serious. Irony that is. One can be so serious and so fun at the same time. Like my piano playing. My writing, reading. Definitely not MY CODING, lol. I can’t derive as much pleasure as jason in that.

Pleasure. I likened piano playing to orgasm last time. Seriously I did, during my late secondary school years. I wonder if jason finds that too in programming, hahahahhahaha. Awesomeness. I still love the piano. It’s almost like orgasm. I think I like singing almost equally. It’s my orgasm, hahaha.

Perhaps its the exam mood, it got everyone so serious, hahahahhaa.

Alright. I think I’m damn rustee with cryptic posts these days, haha. Good night singapore. I’m showering and sleeping. Tomrrow’s my presentation, then yes, one last deadline.

Glasgow braced itself for a full scale riot between far right football hooligans and anti fascist campaigners on Saturday the 14^th, instead the hyped confrontation witnessed the appearance of a mere 100 or so Scottish Defence League supporters who were eventually bussed out of the town centre to avoid clashes.

Previous protests by the football casuals had led to running street battles in England between rival groups and Glasgow was bracing itself for similar results however superb and well organised policing led to no serious battles erupting and managed to keep the two sides a safe distance apart. Police presence was extremely high throughout the day as anti fascist groups converged in the town centre on a bitter cold and rainy Saturday morning with the intention to confront the SDL at their proposed location.

Expecting to come across the SDL in there hundreds anti-racist groups instead stumbled upon a small gathering of just under one hundred SDL members. Chants of “Nazi scum off our streets” were hurled at them while passer-by’s also took a moment to voice their opposition to the racist SDL. Members of the SDL responded with songs of “No surrender to the IRA” and verses of Rule Britannia.

Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon stated to a crowd of over 2000 politicians, trade unionists, students, lawyers and anti-fascist groups: “These people have no right to be heard. Our right as ordinary, decent citizens is not to have to listen to the vile hatred spouted by these people.”

She continued: “Our message to them is clear – we will not have it in Glasgow and we will send you packing from every corner of Scotland”.

The SDL argued that they are not a racist organisation and are not against Muslims, it states on their website that “Despite the lies of some members of the Scottish media we would like to confirm that the SDL is not a sectarian organisation and all members of Scottish society are welcome to join our protest against Islamic militant activity within our nation”.

Previous protests by the English branch of the SDL led to the turnout of hundreds and even thousands of football hooligans protesting against “Islamic extremism” yet the turnout in Scotland was considerably lower with reports varying from 70-120 SDL thugs.

Human Rights lawyer Aamer Anwar said: “Just over 100 members of the Scottish and English Defence Leagues came to Glasgow today, skulked in a pub and were then bussed off away from the city centre. We proved that the only group that the people of Glasgow would tolerate on their streets were Scotland United. I would call this a victory.”

The SDL however on their website stated that they had scored a victory on Saturday stating “Glasgow demo a big success – over 120 lads from various Scottish clubs who were previously enemies came together for a demo, the 3500 Commies failed to materialise”.

Nicola Sturgeon summed the feeling felt by most Scots regarding the racist SDL: “To the BNP to the Scottish Defence League to the English Defence League to any racist defence league, you are not welcome in Glasgow you are not welcome anywhere in Scotland”

There was however some minor clashes around the city centre with a reported 5 arrests mostly for breach of peace. The most serious incident occurred near a pub where a group of SDL supporters gathered, an Asian man stepped out of a shop only to be confronted by a SDL hooligan who managed to a launch a punch in the face in an unprovoked attack.

However in the end the police and those that took part in the Scotland United event managed to successfully prevent a repeat of the scenes south of the border.

I like how when they were designing the SDL t-shirts they simply changed the colour of the cross of St George from red to blue. I suppose the ‘Scottish’ defence league were a bit too dense to notice…

Spot the difference between the pillocks

Almost two months of organising against the Scottish incarnation of the fascist English Defence League paid off yesterday – the SDL were outnumbered 50 to 1 by anti-fascist demonstrators, unable to march and spent most of the day kettled in a pub in Glasgow. Earlier fears of the SDL marching on Glasgow Central Mosque, attacking anti-war and pro-Palestine stalls on Buchanan St or assembling in George Square were unfounded thanks to the presence of well over a thousand anti-fascist demonstrators.

While the SDL spent their whole day stuck in the Cambridge Bar anti-fascist demonstrators had freedom to march all across Glasgow in what were effectively illegal marches. It was this presence which stopped the police from allowing the SDL any kind of demonstration in Glasgow, bar a pathetic 60 pace “march” outside the Cambridge Bar to police lines. The SDL themselves had to be taken out on double decker buses for their own safety.

Theres lots of things we could have done differently on the day – there was a split in the demo between those who wanted to stay at the Cambridge where the SDL were and those who went to Glasgow Green.

SSY members and GU Left Society members argued throughout the build up to this demo that we should have a mobilisation in the city centre early on in the day, as the SDL planned to demonstrate in the city centre well before the Scotland United rally. Having a rally away from the city centre and after the SDL were due to turn up therefore couldn’t be the only way to confront the SDL. At first UAF opposed the 10am kick off but later came round to supporting it.

The split in the demo between those who went to the Green and stayed at Cambridge is a lesson for any future demos the SDL or the far-right try to organise; many people did not stay at the Cambridge because the SDL presence there was tiny, and it was believed they would try to hold a larger rally later on in George Square. That made getting kettled outside the Cambridge an unattractive prospect, especially as there were rumours 100 SDL supporters would be coming in on the Trains at 12 to assemble in George Square.

As it happened the only SDL presence was in the Cambridge and in retrospect the demo could have stayed there for most if not all of the day. If part of the demo had to split off for speakers etc then in the future it should be somewhere much closer to the SDL – for example George Square.

Despite this the day was a resounding success, the SDL were totally unable to march or advertise themselves or their message. Just take a look at their comments on their Facebook group – http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&ref=search&gid=227558430152
The free march the EDL had in Luton was totally denied to the SDL.

SDL’s tiny “demo” kettled by the police

This wasn’t just down to a large anti-fascist mobilisation but a mobilisation which was committed to meeting in the city centre and confronting them – not simply going to the Green. SSY comrades played no small part in many of the meetings in the build up to this demo in arguing and promoting that city centre confrontation and we should be proud of our role in making sure the SDL had a bad day in Glasgow.

NO PASARAN!

The goal keeper did it. Robert Enke. Depression they say. Poor thing, I knew about the news several days ago, but only today I spent some time reading about him, his purpose and what beliefs he had lived for and lived upon… and his sufferings.. man..

you can read it here.

it makes everything that we are going through now seem so meaningless, looking at this coming exams, blabla, whateva… life is beyond that. there’s so much to do, and in this case, so many people around that we’ll have to learn more about, and to help them if indeed they would require it.

I’m quite disturbed by this somehow. I’m not a fan of soccer, but i just feel terrible for the pain that he had gone through. We are not always who we seem to be, and there is only so much that one can do to help others. one can laugh and smile, but could be withering within. i was a lil’ like that last time, and i’m feeling sad for what he had gone through. it would be a thousand times more terrible than mine… i’m feeling rather sad.. knowing that at the last moment of his life, he had probably still be.. very depressed and sad…. be in peace.

sigh

It’s so wonderful, that when years and years ago, when I had first heard this song, these words had just seemed to be fluffy airy meaningless assertions. Of course, literally I could understand, PERFECTLY what it meant. A hero is within everyone, and everyone’s a hero once in a while, at moments, and at times.

But what makes its impact greater, are the several lines that come before this.

“When you feel like hope is gone,
Look inside you and be strong,
And you’ll finally see the truth,
That a hero lies in you.”

I am happy that someone had allowed me, again, to understand and to feel the tingling sensations of those lyrics, coursing through my veins as my heart thuds in the immense joy of his nirvana. Perhaps that is not the right word, but indeed, he had experienced so much so much, and now, with just a few words of sincere reflection, stark realisation and bold conviction, he opened my eyes to believe that, again, a hero lies in all of us.

I pray to whichever, whosoever, if indeed there is someone, some entity, being or intelligence above, that you would be looked upon with care, grace and love.

people who are incapable to love and CARE should be fed to the polar bears. that is real. no wonder mariah sings about obsessions and obsessed souls. attention is gold. so they saved it for themselves. let there be no others, no nothing else. no social, no smiles, no laughter, neither tears, sorrow, joy or whatsoeva. it doesnt matter what others think, all is about one’s self. then i should learn to not care as much as well starting today.

Funny thing is, if what i said is true above, we will all go down the polar bear’s throat one day.

preach all you want.

but sometimes, i think i’m really trying too hard to get things through, to try to do my part in helping and fixing things. i shouldnt. really think so. it’s doing more harm than good to myself. i just wanna dont care no more. fuck this.

alright. gonna have some new policies in place. think, me, think. if people doesnt care, or are not willing to, then why should others do for them? nice people like yuenhoe might argue that people should try to break away from such vengeace and habit to let those guilty offenders *feel the love* and *improve themselves*.

Irony is.

It is not so. Ha ha ha. Man, i would rather one would piss in my face. I should not care for people who doesnt care much. Good job as they would say. They live in their world, be it music, singing, reading, joggin, computing, or whateva. Sounds like me aye?

Yuenhoe might preach. bring them to their senses, keep the hopes and optimism.

Irony is.

I nearly died everytime in this irony.

I shall remember it! Spoke to kamani again, she’s uberly awesome, as always. Impressively energetic, optimistic and lovable. Its really a wonder how things are going on for people, and it’s really nice to know that everyone’s doing well and happy

She got attached as well. Haha, is it the season for love? Good stuff indeed. Well, good luck for her exam tomorrow, her last paper she said, and yes, i’m feeling very happy for her relationship. it’s really something worth celebrating, for people to be able to find someone (in this hectic world) and to be happy, to share their happiness, and to experience one another’s company.

Cheers. I think this weather is making me uberly happy. lolz

So I was telling my mum that I’m going to Abu Dhabi. I told her it was a terrorist state, and I’m bound for the place to do relief works. Of course, we all know this is totally baseless, and I was doing that (making that stupid joke) just to keep my mum off my back, thinking that I’m going to some dangerous place and stuff.

Dina was commenting on how funny it is, the way i speak to my mum. I laughed, lolz. It’s true.

But it worked. At least she didnt protest even a word. I think this is what they call some cool technique in psychology. haha.

Imagine if I had just told her I was going to Abu Dhabi, without any further elaborations, she might get all paranoid and no words that I’ll say would allay her fears… Yeah. That’s exactly what I was hoping to avoid.

So, sorry to the beautiful city… But it’s true, i think its one of the riches places in the world.

The palm islands… man…

My earring. He asked: Isn’t on the left = gay? Haha.

I haha-ed back.

What’s wrong with on the left? lol.

Olá galera. Esta semana ministrei um mini-curso “Introdução ao Desenvolvimento de Jogos com SDL e C“ realizado na SECCOMP 2009, no qual tentei passar falar um pouco sobre o que é SDL, para que serve e como utilizar ela em jogos com dois exemplos incompletos de jogos. Apesar de algumas dificuldades técnicas acontecidas, o curso foi completado com sucesso.

Nas primeira 4 horas, foi desenvolvido um PONG e nas outras 4 horas de curso foi desenvolvido um Pacman com uma IA totalmente aleatória. O desafio para o pessoal do curso é:

PONG: melhorar o algoritmo de colisão e a jogabilidade do jogo.

Pacman: melhorar o algoritmo de colisão, guardar a ultima tecla pressionada antes de executar o movimento do pacman, montar novas fases e colocar um IA no jogo.

SDL ou Simple Direct Layer, foi criado por Sam Lantinga em 1998. O SDL é uma biblioteca multimídia escrita em C que cria uma camada de abstração (vídeo, sons, eventos, API`s) que tornam a programação multiplataforma inviável.

SDL é escrito em C mas trabalha com C++ nativamente e suporta várias outras linguagens como Ada, Eiffel, Java, Lua, ML, PHP, Pike, Python e Ruby.  Pode rodar em Linux, Windows, BeOS, MacOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, IRIX e QNX. Há também suporte não oficial para Windows CE, AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, NetBSD, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS e SymbianOS.

Abraços a todos, e espero que tenham gostado. Até a próxima.

After witnessing violent protests in England by football hooligans against “Islamic Extremists”, Glasgow will soon be the centre of news attention when the Scottish Defence League (SDL) take to the streets next week.

The SDL- a branch of the UK Casuals United- plan to protest on the 14^th of November through the City Centre and also at Glasgow’s biggest mosque, previous protests by similar groups up and down Britain have turned violent with the football hooligans fighting running battles with anti-fascist campaigners and Asian youths.

The English Defence League which is partnered with the Scottish, Welsh and Ulster Defence League state on their website that:“The EDL was formed on the 27th of June, 2009 due to frustration at the lack of any significant action by the British Government against extremist Muslim preachers and organisations”       they continued: “Some organisations and media reports have branded the EDL as ‘racist,’ ‘fascist,’ ‘far-right,’ or even ‘Zionist.’ All of these accusations are flat out untrue. We take an actively anti-racist and anti-fascist stance. In addition, the EDL is non-political, taking no position on right-wing vs. left-wing”.

The Scottish Defence League stated on their website:“Despite the lies of some members of the Scottish media we would like to confirm that the SDL is not a sectarian organisation and all members of Scottish society are welcome to join our protest against Islamic militant activity within our nation”. Casuals United consist of football hooligans who have joined forces to confront Muslim extremists, their protests often end in running battles, dozens of arrests and the city left healing picking up the pieces.

Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police have already stated that they will not grant permission for the far right hooligans to march through the streets of Glasgow.

Chair of the Scottish-Islamic Foundation, Asif Ahmed stated: “We congratulate Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police for the stance that they’ve taken on the SDL. The likelihood is though that even if banned, there will be an illegal protest. We have to be ready for that”.

United Against Fascism (UAF), a group whose main aim is “alerting British society to the rising threat of the extreme right, in particular the British National Party” have been present at the majority of the EDL’s protests in England and have backed the counter protest against the SDL,“In Glasgow, UAF is backing the Scotland United anti-SDL demonstration, which has the backing of the Scottish TUC, the Scottish-Islamic Foundation and a host of other trade unions and civil society organisations” . A statement on the UAF website continued, “We aim to unite the broadest possible spectrum of society to counter this threat”

“Nobody should be fooled by the attempts of the EDL and SDL to pretend they are not racists. Video footage and photos of their demonstrations show EDL supporters chanting disgusting racist slogans and making Nazi “seig heil” salutes. These “peaceful” protesters responded to this evidence by sending death threats to the journalists involved”.

Although the protest by the SDL has not been confirmed officially police are gearing themselves for a possible illegal protest, anti fascist campaigners have already planned to congregate in the town centre in case the football casuals arrive.

The Scottish Islamic Foundation however are not planning to directly confront the SDL, instead an event labelled “Scotland United” has been organised nearby at Glasgow Green. The event is designed to bring together: “faith groups, trade unions, community organisations and politicians to celebrate Scotland’s multiculturalism.”

Human rights lawyer, Aamer Anwar said: “Previous EDL demonstrations have seen their thugs attack Asian people, chant “Muslims out” and worse at passers-by and make “Seig Heil” Nazi salutes. It is vital that we do not allow these racist thugs to terrorise and intimidate Muslim and Asian people. It is not a time to hide but to stand up for a multicultural Glasgow, a multicultural Scotland.”

As Leftfield reported last month, the so-called ‘Scottish Defence League’ are planning to hold a ‘demonstration against Muslim extremists’ in Glasgow this Saturday, 14 November.
With past English and Welsh Defence League protests being marred by racist violence, provocative chanting, fascist salutes and general far-right hooliganism, we can probably assume the Glasgow demo will try its hardest to follow in this proud tradition.
Anti-fascists are mobilising to stop the SDL. A broad alliance of trade unions and various organisations and individuals are holding a rally in Glasgow Green from noon, with a march through the city centre taking place later in the day.
SSY is supporting the call-out for mass action to stop the SDL when they arrive – and with that at present remaining unclear, anti-fascists will be mobilising for an early doors convergence outside St Enochs subway station at 10am.
We’re urging everyone to come down and make sure there’s a huge anti-fascist presence in the city centre from early on.
Anyone coming is strongly advised to arrive in groups and to stick together! SSY will have a visible presence from 10am.
It’s very hard to predict how events will unfold on the 14th – the police are treating the day very seriously and have reportedly cancelled all leave, so expect stop and searches, and don’t carry anything illegal!
Above all, we want to stop the SDL fascists from being able to freely organise and operate on our streets. If they are decisively defeated on the 14th, chances are they’ll think again before they appear elsewhere in Scotland – they’re already claiming to have an Edinburgh event in the pipeline. Mass, militant action has defeated the fascists in the past – and we can do it again.

See you on the streets! No pasaran!

Prisutdelning i både SDL och NDRS var det ju den 31 oktober. Så vi delar upp fotona lite. Fotona, och många fler foton, kommer att läggas ut på hemsidan också så småningom.

Konferencier var i vanlig ordning Christer Abrahamsson. I år gick NDRS banketten av stapeln vid Scandic Hotell i Sollentuna.

Här ser ni prisutdelningen i SDL. På en förstaplats kom Pontus Dantanus som blir intervjuad av Christer Abrahamsson på bilden. Tvåa kom Mattias Edvinsson, trea Ludde (som vuxit till sig på bilden, nä då, det är inte Ludde alls utan hans brorsa) och fyra kom Linus. Grattis till er allihop!

Fler foton kommer senare!
