Freezing cold and pissing dahn at the Castle this bank
holiday morn, took a day orf yesterday, unplugged the TV and managed to avoid
all “news” of that thing happening in the Smoke, sadly it is still
going on today.
The Honda is now a nice selection of red and yellow, the
butler is back to shoving carbon neutral teenagers into the furnace and his Maj
has discovered the joy of ambush from the Tesco “bag for life”.
It seems that when the overpaid, piss poor MPs return on the
11th of June U-Turn Cam may be in for an “interesting” time.
After the Prime Monster launched an impassioned defence of
Jeremy CHunt Labour and Some senior Liberal Democrat MPs are expected to
vote on Wednesday next week to recommend that Mr CHunt faces censure of
his handling of News Corp's £8bn bid for BSkyB.
According to Dave "The advice I was given was that what
mattered was not what Jeremy Hunt had said publicly or privately but how he was
going to conduct himself during the bid," he told the BBC. "That's
how I think we should judge him: did he adjudicate this bid wisely and fairly?
"And he did. He took legal advice at every stage, and
he followed that legal advice and he did many things that were not in the
interests of the Murdochs or BSkyB and that side of things."
Yeah right...
Son of a B.......aronet and alien reptile in disguise George
(where’s my invite to the picnic today) Osborne has decided that he wants to
cut subsidies for wind farms by a quarter, the Department for Energy and
Climate Change confirmed that subsidy levels are set to fall.
Cutting subsidies would be popular among Conservative MPs. More than 100 MPs
wrote to David Cameron earlier this year calling on the Prime Monster to limit
the growth of onshore wind generation.
Allegedly George has seen his reputation damaged by his Budget in March, and
is looking to rebuild support with his party.
At the moment there are just over 3,000 wind turbines onshore and more than
500 offshore in the UK.
What’s his name-the Deputy Prime Minister, has clashed
repeatedly with Mr Osborne in Cabinet meetings over environmental issues,
reminding the Chancellor that the Coalition is committed to being “the greenest
government ever”.
Until personal ambition gets in the way.....
An existing computer virus, called Citadel, has been
repurposed as scam-ware, which notifies users that they've been caught looking
at child porn and must pay a $100 fine to get off the hook.
Users are lured into going to a URL for a "drive-by
download" website, which installs a Trojan (called Reveton) onto their
machine using the Citadel platform. This Trojan then freezes their computer and
displays a warning screen (pictured above) notifying the user that "the
user's IP address was identified by the Computer Crime & Intellectual Property
Section as visiting child pornography and other illegal content." And they
have to pay $100 to the Federal Government, via credit card or wire transfer,
to clear their record.
In addition to the ransomware, the Citadel malware
continues to operate on the compromised computer and can be used to commit
online banking and credit card fraud.... This is an attempt to extort money
with the additional possibility of the victim's computer being used to
participate in online bank fraud. If you have received this or something
similar do not follow payment instructions.
One born every minute...
Over two weeks ago, an army of eight-legged sods invaded Jintu
Gogoi's neighbourhood in Sadiya, Upper Assam.
On May 8. Most of the inhabitants of Chaulkhowa Nagaon
village had been to a Bihu function. When the programme drew to a close, swarms
of spiders suddenly descended from nowhere and started biting the people.
Over the next few days’ scores of people arrived in the
Sadiya civil hospital with spider bites, some even carrying their tormentors to
the hospital.
An alert was made across Tinsukia district and people were asked to
stay indoors at night—the time the eight legged buggers would swarm all over
the place.
Dibrugarh University has, meanwhile, sent spider specimens
to Indian Society of Arachnology, Maharashtra, for identification.
Shan’t be going there for my hols then.....
The Icecreamists shop in London's Covent Garden has come up
with a new product-a gun-shaped Vice Lolly made up of one part 80% alcohol
absinthe and three parts Holy water from Lourdes.
Priced at £18.58 after the year 1858 - when spring
water from Lourdes was declared Holy by the Catholic Church after a 14-year-old
girl saw the Virgin Mary in a vision there.
Icecreamists owner Matt O'Connor, 45 said "Being born
into a Catholic family I wanted to make a statement about religion," "I have a source in France that bought
the holy water for me in plastic bottles. After it was shipped over I spent a
lot of time tasting it with absinthe and sugar to get the taste and balance
just right.
"It tastes
alcoholic with a touch of sweetness. After about three of these the average
drinker would certainly be feeling the effects."
And then be damned
to hell for eternity...
And finally:
Apparently Aussies have ditched the Lara
Bingle-style bikini babe and Paul Hogan-esque Aussie larrikin and gone upmarket
for their new $250 million marketing campaign.
The
90 second commercial launched in China today showcases some of the country's
most luxurious - and expensive - travel experiences.
It includes scenes of a woman getting a massage at Wolgan Valley Resort and Spa
in the NSW Blue Mountains where Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke wed
Kyly Boldy last month, a couple playing chess at the high-end Saffire in
Tasmania and five-star dining at Uluru in the Northern Territory.
Australia's natural beauty is also on display, with sweeping images of the
Bungle Bungles in Western Australia's Kimberley region, diving on the Great
Barrier Reef, a glittering Sydney Harbour and gum trees blowing in the wind.
In another scene, indigenous and non-indigenous children are seen swimming
together in a waterhole in the Northern Territory and playing with crabs on the
beach.
Tourism Minister Martin Ferguson launched the latest phase
of the There's Nothing Like Australia campaign in Shanghai today. China is
Australia's fastest-growing and most valuable tourism market.
It also includes a new, interactive tablet app and hub on
its website www.australia.com to give people more information on the locations
featured in the ad.
