The News

So I'm just back from babysitting and sitting on the couch watching a rather good Children in Need (donate please!). And as my ritual dictates i have to check BBC SPORT and Facebook now that i have internet. However I took a little foray into the world of BBC NEWS. Sometimes there are stories that make you laugh and there was one of those tonight.

The HMS Scimitar stationed in Gibraltar has gotten itself in trouble with Spanish authorities for using a buoy for target practice with colours similar to those used by the Spanish navy. Now i won't say spoil sports but still... Haha. So a slap on the wrists from the Spanish authorities and one sheepish apology later means that they'll just do it a bit closer to Gibraltar.

The British Navy weren't the only ones in trouble with Easyjet announcing the withdrawl of all their in-flight magazines after it was discovered that the magazines contained fashion photos with models posing by the Holocaust memorial. Oops!

Elsewhere in the news the End of the World has staged its comeback, yes the Hadron Collider is now repaired and testing is expected to resume in coming weeks. So expect a lot of scientific blurb in the papers and by blurb I of course mean the journalists who will end up writing about it talking a load of tosh about it. To be fair they'd need a PHD in every kind of scientific degree to come anywhere close to understanding what the hell the magnets are actually gonna do and/or discover.

Another cheery news story is that the Tamiflu resistant strain of H1N1 has reached the UK so we'll all die soon :D. Whether its the Hadron Collider, Swine Flu or the Mayan prediction, we're screwed, I'm beginning Natures got tired of us and we're all getting the boot :)

But enough of that I'm going back to Children of Need....have a good weekend everyone!
