More Kazakh news
Channel 4's 'Space Cadets' program, to begin next Wednesday, currently has a group of people in a training camp in Kazakhstan, ready to launch them into space, or so they think. In truth, they'll be taken to an aircraft hanger (not an 'airy hanger', Johnny Vaughan, you moron) in Suffolk, which will be made up to look like a space station. They will then be kept on camera, Big Brother style, making fools of themselves for a week and a half, believing that they are in a low altitude orbit (which is why the gravity still works). Well, you can't get much lower than Suffolk.
I was disappointed to discover that the contestants are all from Britain. When it was first mentioned on Channel 4, I assumed it was part of the channel's continuing vendetta against the Central Asian country. The possibility that the current Kazakh election will involve riots, which will overthrow the training camp, replacing all of the inmates with Kazakhs, who are made fools of on UK national TV, resulting in war between the UK and Kazakhstan, cannot be ruled out any more than the idea that Sasha Baron Cohen is working for Uzbekistan's secret service.
Suffolk: The final frontier.

I live in Ipswich and I think they've chosen the ideal location: a silent, dark expanse, very simple ecosystem with no sign of imtelligent life and zero atmostphere.
Just kidding...it's actually a very nice area and has hopefully finally found it's place in the TV hall of fame. GO IPSWICH!!!!
