The Sun twangs ‘like a guitar string’ – the mysterious Alfven waves predicted by scientists have been found by the Japanese solar observatory Hinode; they may be the source of the solar wind.. More Japanese space missions .
Well yes, absolutely, though Ian Hislop should’ve got one too: Top Gear’s James May wins Heat Magazine’s Weird Crush award…
“When Heat asked May what the accolade meant to him, he replied: “It means I must be weird.””
Yes, indeedy.
Oh no they didn’t! Oh yes, they did! Panto stars are banned from throwing sweets to childfen in the audience, the culprit UK health and safety laws – no that’s not right, I sound like a shires Tory. It’s the insurance companies and their ridiculous risk-assessments.
i want a whole room walpapered with these flexible sheets of light – not only are they bendable and printable, they’re green, too.
Four-year-old saves mother with 999 call
A four-year-old girl dialled 999 when her mother collapsed, fetched her medicine – and changed into a Cinderella outfit so she looked smart for the trip to hospital. When Hannah Lerego had an asthma attack at home in Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, her daughter Olivia fetched her inhaler, stroked her hair to bring her round and described her symptoms to paramedics. Lerego, 30, said: “I don’t think I would be alive without Olivia. When they asked if my lips were blue she said they were pink like hers but turning purple and she knew that for sure because purple is her favourite colour.”
Awwww.
It’s the hypocrisy, stupid – Lingerie, cell phone pictures, anal sex, casinos, rope, stethoscopes, barebacking oh my! Homophobic US senator Richard Curtis shows his true colours.
Hmm. Haven’t I read these sentiments before?
Yes, she is “smart, tough and experienced”, according to the mantra recited the other evening. But is that why, according to the polls, three times as many Democrats want her to be president as her vastly experienced and surely no less deserving rivals Joe Biden, Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson combined? And would she ever have been in a position to run for senator from New York, let alone have a serious chance of becoming the country’s first woman president, had she not been mared to Bill Clinton? The answer, obviously, is no. Name recognition is all.
Oh yes. Here.
They know and we know that despite their considerable individual intellects and achievements it’s unlikely they would have become QC or Senator respectively, had they not gained name recognition and influence by being married to who they were married to. In the case of Clinton it’s enabled someone who’s been a Senator for barely five minutes, who’s never run any government body or even a city or state, to potentially step into one of the most difficult jobs in the world; in the case of Cherie Booth/Blair she’s had the opportunity to make massive amounts from speaking fees she would never have got as a simple human rights and employment lawyer;
And here.
“Hillary (Rodham Clinton) was able to position herself nationally because her husband was president. She didn’t have a political career beforehand and that isn’t my case,” Fernández de Kirchner said in an interview with CNN en Español, referring to her 30-year career in Argentine politics.
I’m just sayin…
Here’s one cuddly toy unlikely to be named Mohammed.
I bet a lot of Italian mothers are behind this policy – ”
