Same again at the Castle this morn-wet, windy and wobbly,
still waiting to fettle the garden but I did have a close up of a Wellington
bomber, a spitfire and something that was very, very loud and moved so fast I
couldn’t recognise it as they flew under the low cloud cover yesteraftermorn.
The ears have stopped bleeding now.....
The TV Licensing body has launched a campaign to remind
businesses of the need for a TV licence if they allow staff to watch the
Olympics at work.
If employees have devices such as mobile phones or laptops
plugged into the mains at work, their workplace will need to have a licence.
Catch-up TV services, such as iPlayer or ITV
Player, are not subject to licence requirements. However, live streams of
sports events, press conferences and news channels are.
Most employers will only need one licence per
premise, although it depends on the type of business and how it operates.
People at 2,800 business addresses were caught
watching TV without a licence across the UK during 2010 and 2011.
You have been warned....
Gangster Al Capone's green 1928 Cadillac is up for sale.
With bulletproof glass and 1,360kg (3,000lb) of steel
armour, the mobster’s customised car was painted like the police cars of the
time and even had a flashing light, siren and the first police-band radio in
private hands.
The 1928 Cadillac V-8 has inch-thick windows with circular
holes for machine guns and the rear screen could drop down quickly during
gunfights.
It will go under the hammer in Monterey, California, next
month.
Sounds like they will need more than a hammer......
Direct Google “translation”-There is an ancient game, a game without rules, where the companions
are blood brothers, sworn enemies and opponents.
Four teams, four
colours, they play for their women, they win their district. Many men, only one
desire; to conquer fear, self-discovery, including fists, caresses and
fireworks.
Or just an excuse to beat the crap out of anyone in
range-and if there are no rules why is there a referee and linesmen?
The science behind sunburn- When our skin cells are exposed to
ultraviolet B
(UVB) radiation, a specific form
of RNA, called micro-RNA, is damaged (RNA is similar in structure to DNA, which
makes up our genes.)
This damaged RNA is then released as a signal of solar
injury, and prompts neighbouring, healthy cells to stimulate the production of
factors that promote inflammation, the researchers said.
Just thought you would like to know what happens if the sun
ever comes out again...
The congregation at Brentwood Cathedral, Essex, were
undertaking the Eucharistic prayer when they heard a “massive explosion” which
left them “trembling”.
Father James MacKay, who was leading the Sunday service,
described seeing slate and white ice falling from the roof, damaging the
structure and beams.
An usher who inspected the damage believed it had been
caused by a block of ice falling from above, which could have come from an
aeroplane, he said.
A spokesman for the Civil Aviation Authority confirmed the
body received about 30 reports of ice blocks dropping from aircraft in a year,
but said they were frequently caused by natural weather conditions.
Fr MacKay told the BBC he was trembling with shock after
hearing the collision, but had continued with the service.
Him/her upstairs was probably having a glass of Pimms while
watching Wombledon and dropped an ice cube....
And finally:
To the small German town of Triberg.
Mayor Gallus Strobel hit the headlines this week after
unveiling the new car parking plan for motorists.
Under the new system, each space in the town's main car park
been painted with a male or female symbol, depending on its difficulty rating.
While female drivers have been assigned wider and well-lit
spaces located closer to the exit, male drivers will need to pull in at more
difficult angles and avoid cement pillars.
The 58-year-old mayor wants to 'challenge political
correctness' with his new policy, claiming the tight spaces will be an
'attraction' for ambitious drivers.
'Men are, as a rule,
a little better at such challenges,' the 58-year-old told German newspaper
Süddeutsche Zeitung.
That’s it: I’m
orf to count flying ants
