Coroner and Law I’m often struck when reading the papers or news, to see the coroner’s verdict on someone’s death as: Ending his own life while the balance of his mind was disturbed Well they have to say something, it’s their job, but the phrase is very peculiar. Take this couple, the Milners, who were [...]

Introduction An unfortunate consequence of posting stuff online is that you enable your ‘work’, ‘your words of wisdom’, your ‘copyright’ or your petty scrawlings (choose which you think is the most appropriate), to the world as as such, it’s freely copyable. My website is proudly running on WordPress sat on a standard shared hosting LAMP [...]

This is an unashamed plug for the Warrington Cycle Campaign. Their dedicated work over the years has now brought in the first real 20mph zone in their town (see here).  Elsewhere on the website, is an article called The Effect of Cycle Lanes on Cyclists’ Road Space. (pdf file) … Have a look.  The photos [...]

It’s funny how things change and how the world has different perceptions of a people.  You see, people have long memories. Somali Pirates Vow Revenge on U.S., France on Rescues – is the news currently.  Also, the Somalis have taken pot-shots at a US politician in Mogadishu according to Voice of America. This all flies [...]

G20 UK Protests – an Appraisal Following on from this post about the protest(s) the other day and the obviously censored reporting, we can now look back for a little unheated analysis. Spin What’s clear to me during the event, was the useless reporting and photograph work, the news organisation’s focus on violence and the [...]

It Goes From Bad to Worse! RBS In a completely passive demonstration of non-government and how toothless our government’s words are, it’s now been shown that not only does former RBS gaffer, Fred Goodwin get a massive pension of ~£33k monthly take-home, but the pot from which it’s being taken is already £2 billion under-funded!!

a.k.a.   How Internet Sites strip out Content for Their Own Purposes These are called feed harvesters or content scrapers amongst other terms and exist solely to copy other people’s content for the purpose of serving adverts, charging folks for getting good hit rates, hosting malware… etc I came across one while checking a Google [...]

Bush warns over ‘protectionism’ is the news today.  This is at the Washington meeting of 20 countries, the G20, which represent 85% of the global [...]

It’s True! Record profits at Gazprom as it forms Opec-style gas cartel The news that yesterday,… (new bad guy?) Russia (aka Putin Inc), Iran (axis of evil?) and (our friend?) Qatar have decided to collude together like OPEC to drive up gas prices (sorry, control the market in a uniform way beneficial to suppliers and [...]

This post from 100dollarSEO, blog-spamming-how-to-why-you-should-stop has an interesting take on comment spam and a way to deal with it that never occurred to me. Phone them up! The blogger has noticed, like me in this post, two-examples-of-a-moving-trend-in-wordpress-comment-spam/, that most of the links are to real bona-fide companies. Now I thought that the companies were part [...]

Following on from my earlier postings about the 42 days fiasco, like http://strangelyperfect.tv/419/its-not-just-me-cutting-their-labour-party-donation/, and http://strangelyperfect.tv/409/law-regarding-measures-of-state-self-defense-leviathan-how-come/ , I now find myself agreeing with a right old bunch of codgers. We’ve got the ex head of MI5 now, Baroness Manningham-Buller, as well as the Lords Goldsmith, Falconer, tory Baroness Neville-Jones and liberal Lord Thomas ALL saying that [...]

After the recent evacuative pleasure I had after eating several serious amounts of short-grain brown rice, I was reminded of something I saved to my hard drive a while ago that I got from the web. So I  thought I’d share the anally comic missive below with everyone.  I don’t claim it’s a work of [...]
