Watching some old reruns of Dragon's Den the other day, I paid particular attention to one band of entrepeneurs because they had the same idea as I had been hammering out but had actually got off their arses to do something about it.
But something caught my eye - could it be a goatse on the bbc?
I was right - it is in the eye of the beholder though. Blatent IMO.

More news on the Teddy teacher from the estimable
Daily Mash.
One day I'll sort out proper quoting on this site, for the time being however...
Teddy row teacher Gillian Gibbons is a serial blasphemer who refers to her back-passage as 'Jesus', the Daily Mash can reveal.
Gibbons, 54, calls her vagina 'the hairy Virgin Mary' and nicknamed her last boyfriend's penis 'St John the Baptist' for reasons too disgusting for the internet.
One friend said: "She knew exactly what she was doing when she named that poor bear Muhammad. She once sent me a Christmas card with 'God is cock' written in it."

Wait till the daily Mail gets hold of it:
"Disturbing news has reached our Yuletide youthful innocence bunker that Microsoft's new artificial intelligence-powered Santa bot is subjecting the world's children to an unprecendented torrent of filth."

Applying the same analytical methods as seen in Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth', we can get closer to the real solution that is within all of our grasps.

Waitrose excepted.
There's been a lot of noise about the price of milk in the last few years - about how the price is so low that the dairy industry is insustainable.
In recent years, the plight of dairy farmers has become such that the public have become sympathetic and indeed are prepared to pay more, or a fair price at least.
It is not surprising then that the big supermarkets seized this opportunity to put the price of milk up without actually passing any of the increase on to their suppliers, knowing of course that the customer would be making a subconcious assumption that this was the case.
When are people going to stop supporting these hugely immoral organisations?

Can you imagine?
Schumacher, who lives in Switzerland, had flown in to an aerodrome near Coburg, Bavaria, on Saturday and taken a taxi to Gehuelz to pick up a new puppy.
On the 30km (19 mile) return journey, however, Schumacher felt they were short on time, and made a polite request to Mr Yilmaz that he be allowed to take over.
Unsurprisingly, and perhaps with a view to bettering himself professionally, the driver did so.

I use ASP.net for my web development projects. It's fantastic.
I don't know much about PHP, but it does seem rather Zastava to my Ferrari.
Check this...
% cat equality.php
$a = 0;$b = "eggs";
$c = "spam";
print ($a == $b) ? "a == b
" : "a != b
";
print ($b == $c) ? "b == c
" : "b != c
";
print ($a == $c) ? "a == c
" : "a != c
";
print ($a == $d) ? "a == d
" : "a != d
";
print ($b == $d) ? "b == d
" : "b != d
";
print ($c == $d) ? "c == d
" : "c != d
";
?>
% php equality.php
a == b
b != c
a == c
a == d
b != d
c != d
%
Ahem. Embarassing...

Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees. I've highlighted the area of interest on this Computer World page. The rest is junk.

"People might think we sit around on our arses all day, sending squad cars out for fish and chips and ignoring your desperate pleas to stop the local kids urinating on your car. But we don't. We shoot olive-skinned electricians. In the face."

Hes-don Blumenthal does a Q and A in the Independent.
Some good stuff, and actually reasonably practical.
Q : You're clearly a man who likes a kitchen gadget. I'm cooking for the whole family this year, so I think I deserve a present. What single piece of cooking kit should I go for?
A:
... if I were you, I'd get a box of dry ice. I know it's not a gadget exactly, but you can really have fun with it. In my new book, I've listed the supplier I use: it's a website, http://ind.yara.co.uk. You can keep dry ice in the freezer for a couple of days.

Wikipedia is such a rich resource that i use everyday and this can only serve to dilute it.

Another great piece tackling nonsense in the Daily Mail. Humourously, he starts the article
"Basically if the Daily Mail goes out of business, I???ll have to give up this column."

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, dismissed the Christmas story of the Three Wise Men yesterday as nothing but ???legend???.
It goes on...
"And as for the star rising and then standing still: the Archbishop pointed out that stars just don???t behave like that."
Ouch. There's more...
"One of the few things that almost everyone agreed on was that Jesus's mother's name was Mary."
Wow. That's what I call confidence and certainty!
It seems a little odd to me that when you there isn't even unanimous agreement on the supposed son of god's mother's name, you've got to be pretty credulous to believe the rather fanciful tales surrounding the rest of his life.
Feeding the five thousand. My arse.

Including this cracker.
A little girl is standing on top of a cliff, looking down at the sea and crying her eyes out. A priest approaches and says, "My child, why are you so upset?"
The little girl turns to him and says, "My mummy and daddy were in their car -- and it just rolled over the cliff and smashed on the rocks down there."
The priest slowly looks around him while unbuttoning his cassock and says, "It's just not your day, is it?"

This is an oldie but a goodie, but posted it just in case anyone didn't see it first time round...
Whilst Gordon Brown is boring us to death with his dour presbyterian governance, his missus brightens things up in the fashion stakes by showing off a jacket sporting the family's coat of arms (or cocks in this case).

I hate cables, unless they're very, very nice ones.
Mostly, they get tangled without human intervention and annoy me.
Wireless is a remarkable and wonderful thing but the benefit is somewhat negated by the lack of a technology to transmit electricity.
Apparently the impossible is not impossible though.
Marvellous
