It was Newsnight, and I meant all the evidence which you pretend to have looked at. You exhibit exactly the same unreasoning intolerance that you so despise in those chanting Muslims. And it's obvious that to you Megrahi is guilty because of who he is rather than what he might have done. And what a pity your concern for innocent people only extends to WASP people. Two simple questions: Do you think it's fair to say to someone: we will release you if you stop protesting your innocence and withdraw your appeal? Isn't this essentially just the same thing as those mock confessions terrorist groups love to show - any intelligent person knows that it's coercion of the worst kind. Where is the evidence that Megrahi put the bomb on the plane? This was supposed to be a fair and open public trial, so that evidence - however circumstantial - should be in the public domain. Point me to it!

Did you look at any of that? 'Course you didn't! Just let your Nick Griffin fueled blind prejudice about Arabs have full reign. This is why the Country needn't worry about the BNP, and we don't need any of your "help" on the matter Mr Straw!

Other reasons being: The previous anti small business attitude, and the we can count on the dummies in Bedlington to vote for us anyway, so let's centralise in Ashington - Labour led WDC. Plus the locking the stable door after the horse has bolted Conservation Area, that wants to apply the same standards as a wealthy Southern rural area. Together with the 15% unemployment carefully fostered by decades of state dependency, so-called employment protection legislation, and the too common belief that anyone that tries to better themselves is exploiting the community. (The Mandelsons of NuLabour no longer believe this, so why do we elect political dinosaurs who do? They're just laughed at an humoured by their very own party! This reinforces the idea that we are a bunch of political illiterates that can safely be sidelined.) ...all resulting in the sad fact that anyone with any enterprise generally buggers off South (or to countries external). Which takes us back to all the former reasons, and the whole vicious circle feeding on itself.

Yet more evidence that the whole thing is a CIA framing exercises. But even they can't pull the wool too much longer. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8441796.stm This one ain't going to go away until the truth emerges - however long it takes! The best guess is that the bomb was loaded at Heathrow, and - as most reasonable people now believe - Libya had nothing at all to do with it.

Safest place for a mini death-trap: on your fridge! Yes, I used to own one way back and I'm still alive; just! P.S. Thanks for testing the new forum. Would have got around to it though.

I've bought RAM on that auction site a few times and it was fairly good value. But it was micro-DIMMs which are rather difficult to find, and on a couple of those occasions either I don't think the sellers knew quite what they had, or there was much buyer competition. So been lucky. My bad experience with these was buying one from an Irish supplier's website who promises a lifetime guarantee blah blah. When the module kept crashing they put up all sorts of excuses, and I'm still waiting for that replacement. Sixty quid down the drain! If what you need is say a regular 512MB module then you can generally get one that someone has swapped out good for larger for a song, and that's low risk. But if you want 1GB and especially 2GB modules it's far safer - and likely cheaper in the long run - to buy from a reputable supplier (who hopefully isn't Irish!). You can get some reasonable buys on Amazon and it's safer, faster, and generally much less hassle than an auction. But you still need to be careful in what you're buying. More careful than through a single regular reputable seller. Also Amazon take over 11% off the top of small suppliers payouts - which I think is a quite greedy, especially on big ticket items. As a result you seldom get a real bargain there, and a lot of what's on Amazon.co.uk is overpriced. The last used computer I bought on Amazon wasn't quite as described, and there were bits missing.

Much flawed arithmetic here.... You only need spend £15 - and give me the other £10 worth! Simples.... http://film.comparethemeerkat.com/

Baidu (which works closely with the Chinese regime and [so?] has 2/3 of the market there now) mocks and says it's for economic reasons. But, they would say that, wouldn't they? I reckon that the folks inside Google have been unhappy for a long while and that management is now having to listen. I think it's not an idle threat, and that they will go through with it. BTW Baidu used to visit bedlington.co.uk almost hourly, but now they seldom trawl us. Read into that what you like, but my take is that we are now on the Chinese Govt censorship list!

Questions in the House of Commons just now. "No one should be expected to suffer anti-social behaviour" says Gordon Brown when put on the spot. Yes, there's an election coming!

www.play.com with free shipping Was going to use eBuyer but they seem quite pricey for a lot of things now, and their delivery to Bedders isn't what it was. Anyone know any better? BTW some of the very best deals on netbooks/laptops come up on www.laptopsdirect.co.uk They are fairly local at Huddersfield and you can collect from there for free. I've dealt with them fairly recently and it was a good experience. http://www.acerdirect.co.uk/ is the same company.

You know I said to myself: that's so funny Monsta is bound to have seen it and cut+pasted a link. But... I was only half right!

I disagree. Just happened to be playing with someone else's Python geo-loc function last night and I was quite impressed. Tried their primary source of data Google Maps on a well known location in Bedders that can be easily pin-pointed from surrounding feature - namely The Top Club. http://maps.google.c...t,%20bedlington Neat, don't you think? Especially as it's from an entire World database. Now you are going to get "bad misses", but you use several sources of geodata and weight them. Highest weighting goes to locals who are happy to correct you and shift your marker against the satellite photo. A sort of gatelocate - to coin a word. It's not rocket science, just sensible and defensive programming. A primary customer for this would be the UKPO - but I suspect any reasonable person would want to charge (only) them an arm and a leg to use the data.

Right in the sense that you'd find yourself at Netherton Club, and hopefully someone would point you in the right direction before you decided that the place was under strange new management. If you zoom in there's not a single featured trader in Bedders marked even approximately correctly. The location pin-pointing is near useless if this degree of accuracy is replicated country-wide. The latest smart-phone apps use this sort of data, with their built-in compass and camera, to show you which direction to walk. As to the reviews, it's always the most recent one that counts the most. The next most recent is last May, and it rather sounds as if it might have changed hands/head chef. The first "review" is someone going for some sort of posting reward, and from the uncharacteristically scant words in this post it's doubtful if they have even eaten there.

http://www.qype.co.uk/people/hazelross Unfair publishing such a "review" where it isn't going to get seen by people who use the place regularly and so are qualified to offer a broader view, but is going to be seen by tourists who will simply avoid. IMHO it's completely untrue to say that there's no competition in Bedlington. Note that this site gets the Ridge Farm's location wildly wrong too. It might also come as a surprise to the folks there that they've gone into the "Health and Beauty" business (just what Bedlington needs another one of!), and that somehow they are a Mobility provider as well!

The first phone to use a Pentium class (Atom) CPU. What's even more exciting about this is that it has always required special development environments to develop phone software. Here the same raw code that runs on your PC will run on your phone - yes, these days even Apple PCs! Not only does this make development a lot easier, but many things that wouldn't otherwise get written (or be practical) probably already exist, and will now easily port to your phone. The full impact of this is going to take a while to pan out, but it's part of the process of changing what a computer is and can do for the average person. Prepare to be amazed!

Set to be the biggest earning film of all time! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/8447839.stm Your comment about fast moving scenes is interesting. The industry is already doing a rethink about how 3D changes the way they craft the movies. Personally I don't like all the fast cutting in present day "action" stuff, it's not natural, and it clearly doesn't work with 3D either. 3D TV not too far in the future. There's nothing really new required; just a matter of deciding the best way to engineer it. The new HDTV platforms mean that there's a lot of opportunity to experiment with real live audiences. Interesting times!
