Apart from the well known one of drinking themselves into oblivion and then trying to take out as many people in an act of random aggression, British guys are well known for their hair loss. Fortunately, I am not one of them. IF you do have a chrome dome, there is a solution.

Somewhat bizarre and a bit of denial in action but... there you go.

Windows 7 - Straight out of the box
It has been announced that Windows 7 will ship in Europe (and Croatia & Switzerland) without IE8. Now this should prove interesting.... and tricky ... here.

Quizzo Questions Anyone?
This site has an incredible number of questions/quizzes that will divert you for an infinite amount of time... here.
UK Labour Party beaten to third place...
... even by "monkey hangers"... here. Rather odd. Rather true. Here.
Remember when?
Remember when it actually used to be a pleasure to fly? Something you looked forward to?
Airlines are taking many measures to reduce the excess weight they carry.
It would appear that amongst the cost-cutting exercises that have gradually made it almost miserable to fly, some of the things they have not done (yet) are:
1. Get rid of the tilt mechanism that allows the seat in front of you to invade your space with little or no real benefit for the person in the seat (invariably they then proceed to spend the remainder of the flight sitting forward while you have their headrest in your face and your knees crushed.
2. Charging for fat people. Why, when I am of average weight, do I get charged gazzillions of €€€€$$$$ if a piece of luggage is a few kg over while someone can happily board the plane with many kg of lard hanging about their person?
3. Those snack packs with the notice on that says "May contain nuts" when the label of the product says "Peanuts". Invariably these are covered is some form of toxic slurry that is intended to be "Honey-roasted" but is more like the contents of a tanker crash in the corn belt. I mean, what IS the point of expending all the energy you have left in trying to open a bag that contains 6-8 nuts?
4. Pointless pillows that could be better used squished up to their real size and used as tampons or by first-aiders on a sports field or in a boxing ring.
5. Do Business and First Class (or whatever dreary self-important name these are ascribed) REALLY need champagne?
6. Cans of drink that contain enough liquid to keep a flea alive for five minutes yet litre bottles of alcohol that are more expensive than the duty-free.
Any other suggestions for this list?

This is VERY alarming
Obtaining a DNA sample is all well and good if a crime has been committed. Taking positive action to obtain samples is nearly a police state... here.
What is really alarming is the attitude behind the following quote:
"It is part of a long-term crime prevention strategy. If you know you have had your DNA taken and it is on a database then you will think twice about committing burglary for a living."
This is both assumptive and presumptive. Potentially guilty until proven innocent. It is WRONG.
