Lies, damn lies, and Sarah Palin

Here. Seems like she would be a good candidate for a political career. Even as President.

The important bits 'forgotten' about Michael Jackson

This is one of the few articles I have seen that have not been raising MJ to the rather odd status of a demi-god... here.

There has been a lot of press coverage re MJ and I was looking at some of his videos on YouTube when I discovered this wonderful gem (which I believe I also have on DVD somewhere... here.

Little Red Riding Hood... but...

... this one will 'do your head in'... here. This film is just one of many from the SupInfoCom site.

I wish I had been able to go here to study... from the site:

The school, inaugurated in Arles in 2000, is part of and dependent upon the ‘Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Region of Arles’.

The original Supinfocom in Valenciennes (northern France) opened in 1988.

Supinfocom Arles is supported financially by:

* the ‘European Commission’,
* the ‘Regional Council of Provence and the Cote d’Azur’,
* the ‘Regional Council of the Bouches du Rhône’
* and the town of Arles.

The entrance examinations as well as the finals examination board are the same for both schools.
Studies are divided into two 2 courses : the A-level Course and the specialist higher education Course .

5 years'study: A-level in 2 years and the specialist higher education course will be covered in 3 years.

Gross and likely to make you puke...

Here. Do not say I did not warn you...

Michael Jackson Jokes

THIS POST HAS MOVED TO A BETTER BLOG HOSTING SITE (WORDPRESS) ... HERE.

As part of their 'improving the user experience' with Blogger, Google have forced me to use their new interface. The new interface has a significant number of egregious errors which make it impractical to use. I have raised these issues with Blogger over an extended period but they failed to address them.

Rather than bore you with the details, it is sufficient to say (as most Blogger users will know) that the interface went from being user friendly to a 'mouse click frenzy'. The lack of forethought or consultation with end users of Blogger is apparent. As such I have decided to stop using Blogger and post elsewhere.

Do not blame me, blame the people who failed to understand that you should not fix something that is not broken by replacing it with something that is an unusable mess.

Do NOT go to this site...

... if you are prone to epileptic seizures or have been partaking of mind altering substances...

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.... here.
