‘Tis pleasantly clement at the Castle this morn, sunny, calm
and dry, the elbow is getting worse and his Maj is up the flowering cherry tree.
Still here; it seems that Armageddon
was yet another balls up by old fart Harold Camping
Oh well; third time lucky?
I see that yet
another satellite has crashed and burned, this one is the German Roentgen
Satellite (Rosat) which re-entered the Earth's atmosphere between
01:45 and 02:15 GMT this morn.
Experts calculate
that perhaps as much as 1.6 tonnes of wreckage - more than half the
spacecraft's launch mass - could ride out the destructive forces of re-entry
and hit the planet.
It is not clear
whether any pieces have yet reached the Earth's surface.
And allegedly:
European
Union chiefs are drawing up plans for a single “Treasury” to oversee tax
and spending across the 17 eurozone nations.
The proposal, put forward by Herman Van Rompuy, the European
Council president, would be the clearest sign yet of a new “United States of
Europe” — with Britain left on the
sidelines.
And apparently;
Dustbin
diver Oliver Letwin is to beg the public for help on how to run the
Government.
The Cabinet Office minister told Tory MPs earlier this year
they would be “out of ideas” after 2012. Now, he and fellow Cabinet minister Francis
Maude will launch a bizarre “tell us how” campaign, asking for advice on
delivering better policies.
Details of the scheme emerged just days after Mr Letwin was
photographed dumping sensitive documents in St James’s Park litter bins,
across the road from his Whitehall office.

A $400,000 Lamborghini was left a mangled mess after a test drive through
the city went horribly wrong.
The
prospective buyer was behind the wheel of the white Lamborghini Gallardo when
he lost control of the vehicle, hitting a barrier on the Macquarie St entry to
the Cahill Expressway about 9am yesterday.
Lamborghini Sydney salesman Ian Watts, who was in the
passenger seat at the time, had the nerve-racking job of calling his boss and
telling him about the damage caused to the luxury vehicle.
The front of the car was a complete wreck, with the impact
ripping the front right-hand wheel from its axle and the bonnet from its
hinges.
Lamborghini Sydney managing director Andrew Smith said that,
luckily, the car was insured.
That’s another couple of Dollars on the insurance premium
then....
Those interested in buying Mason City’s historic Egloff
House can get it at a steal for $1. But city officials say it will cost at
least $300,000 to dismantle, move and repair the flood-damaged house.
The house, built in 1939 by Dr. William C. and Margaret
Egloff, was damaged in the June 2008 flooding.
Last year, the city bought it for $314,000 through a
government buyout program and has been trying to find ways of saving it ever
since.
The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that a study team
consisting of house movers, an architect, structural engineer, architectural
historian and a contractor recently determined the house can be moved.
But to do that, the family room and garage would need to be
detached from the main structure.
$300,001; cheap at half the price....
A Missouri man and his beloved classic car have been
reunited 16 years after the vehicle was stolen.
Edward Neeley, of Jefferson City, Mo., picked up his red
1969 Chevy Camaro in Salt Lake City on Tuesday after tracking it down in Utah
last month.
Neeley contacted Utah authorities after he saw the Camaro
listed for sale online, the Deseret News of Salt Lake City reported
(http://bit.ly/raLn1d).
The seller, Brent Dockery of Syracuse, bought the car four
years ago on eBay and also is a victim, investigators said. He was unaware its
vehicle identification number had been switched.
Davis County detectives obtained a search warrant and found
the authentic VIN in the door panel, which confirmed Neeley's suspicions.
After an investigation, the Utah Motor Vehicle Enforcement
Division returned the car to Neeley, who was determined to be the rightful
owner.
Chevy chase?
A picture which purportedly shows an alien lurking in the
Amazon is being put forward as evidence that there is supernatural activity on
earth.
The image, which shows an unidentified being standing with
its back arched a few feet from what looks like a floating orb of light behind
a group of children, was apparently taken from video footage captured by two
British tourists visiting the Mamaus region of the Brazilian rainforest.
The video was obtained by noted paranormal writer Mike
Cohen, who says the area is known for its 'intense UFO activity'.
He said: 'This is highly compelling footage that will be
hard to discredit.
'It comes from an area known for experiencing intense UFO
activity. It is rather apparent that aliens are interested in this region due
to its biological diversity.
'The area was also the focus of a high-level Brazilian
government investigation known as Operation Prato, where the army was sent in
to monitor and confirm an alien presence in the region.'
And today’s thought: Very funny Scotty . . . now beam up my
clothes.

The Lamborghini must have been going at some speed to get mangled like that. Or it isn't very robust!
There are two main reasons for coming off medication – you no longer need it, or you are finding the side effects outweigh any benefits from taking it. In that case you are likely to be changing your medication either at the suggestion or at least with the approval of your consultant.
