Get whimsical and win a Western Digital Black 6TB hard drive

Taking a dump in the woods is much more pleasant on 4G; the motion is steady with far fewer drops outs and no spluttering. Watching my mate Sir David on iPlayer crouching here with my grand-dad back in the day moves me to tears.

No naked flames in the jungle!

WTF is... up with e-book pricing?

Big Brother

b*gger e-book pricing

WTF is up with the Hansard article on the home page of Charlie's Diary linked to above. That is real and much scarier than an e-book price increase.

Animal Protein is for wimps

If you are a vegan or fruitarian that is (they eat supplements to stay alive). They eat no animal protein. Veggies eat animal products, as somebody else has already said. You will see them scanning the ingredients of cheese packets and wine bottles for evidence of dead animals though.

Luckily plenty of wine and cheese is now made without dead animals bits, sadly the same can't be said for the melted pig trotters in Jelly Babies

Another nail in the UK coffin

Soon they will role out the last straw that will break this camel's back. We will revolt, escape or be fully assimilated.

Remember, it is not too late, resistance is not futile. Vote for no one by spoiling your ballet paper.

Think it like this:

If a 'facist' government wants to control its people, it must control communications and it must be able to watch everything we do. Not dissent will be tolerated (witness the 'debate' on global warming).

Tools to help with this plan:

Security forces armed with laws that prevent us testing the security of our systems.

Microsoft Windows

Government partnerships with commercial software firms

It is important as someone above said, to implement their master plan, that hobbyists/ amateur/open source developers are not allowed to use these tools to test anything. These facilities must remain with the government's commercial software/backdoor/vulnerability developing partners.

Remember:

Orwell wrote a warning but the Labour Party have mistaken it for an instruction manual!

Tax what effing tax

what's tax got to do with it? Isn't SETI donation funded? Still sending me begging emails after years of inactivity on my part.

Oh yeah... what global warming? You don't all believe that shit do you?
