WTF?

One Emergency Service ?

"So in policing in the future, I believe we will need to work towards the integration of the three emergency services."

WHAT - sorry guv'nor I'm the "emergency respondant with a speciality in cardiac arrests" and not the "emergency respondant with a speciality in counter-terrorism" - so if that guy with the gun and the machette gave you a heart-attack, then I'm your man, other wise - oops...

EE owners: Yeah, we're cool with things as they are... IPO? Nah, not really

higher speed, less money - but how much data do you get per month - I'm guessing that it won't be more (or even the same....)

Re: Peter Capaldi

He was also a Government minister, who killed his own children, rather than give them to the aliens, in the excellent Torchwood: Children of Earth (not Who, but still in the Whoniverse)

Enemy?

"In 1982, the US released an SR-71 photo of enemy merchant ships in Corinto, Nicaragua,"

I know that the US and the (then) USSR, really REALLY hated/grudgingly respected each other, but I can't recall the US actually saying that the USSR was "the enemy" (Alien because some folks still believe that us,puny, Humans couldn't have designed such an awesome machine at the end of the 1950's)

uh-oh - looks like it'll be used by the phisher-men

Looks like they forgot to withhold certain email addresses from the pool of those available - I'm now the "proud" owner of post.master@outlook.com - supposedly do-not-reply@outlook.com has been taken already lol

Re: Soviet-era space vehicles?

I seem to remember that the Soviets weren't that forthcoming about any explosions/aborted missions/deaths in their space program ( "Moon Mission? We weren't going to land a man on the moon") - So maybe its just the one's we actually heard about were reliable - all the other ones simply didn't "happen"
