You don't need to import people to do that, you just use good old local Labour Party talent. Seems to help if you can preside over the mass slaughter of innocent kiddies too! Mind you those were the days when you could cover up just about anything. A nod and a wink to the right people; a hint of a gong down the line; a peerage to the really compliant big shots; and, if all else failed, a D Notice to gag the press - sorted! Malc. do you think an elected P. Com. is going to put their head on the block to cover up something like another Hillsborough? Be grateful for what crumbs of democracy we are thrown by the political elite, and then keep on asking for more. One of these days we'll get asked to consent to something that really matters - like our de-facto EU membership! One of these days they might even notice that we now live in a data-centric society, and that you can take a vote near instantaneously, at minuscule cost, and as often as you want - so there's actually no need for an "elected representative".

In good old civil service fashion of course they will dig around for any possible justification they can fabricate after the event. The couple were already fostering the kids, and doing it very well! Fact is it should never have been any sort of factor in any decision and was downright loony left! So only 36% of the electorate now? Just give it a few more months!

Only after the jump!

They disappear into the budget of MyURL.co.uk - also a Nominet full member. Did you notice that we have always have the latest IP Board software, and often before it is released? That's because we often test bits prior to release... because... because... If you'd feel happier with a few ads, that can easily be arranged.

You mean like living in socialist Rotherham? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-20535008

...and in the news today: Xenophobic Germany or just a little common sense dawning on our partners in the cartel? To call UKIP xenophobic is the sort of disapplication of common sense that the PC left take refuge in. The sort of thing that the morons at Rotherham social services go in for - completely lost on them the fact that the children they were trying to separate from their UKIP supporting, loving, foster parents were in fact of Eastern European origin. Look up the meaning of the word xenophobic, because it doesn't mean what the extreme left want it to mean, and has a second meaning too!

Flattered by your concern Sym, and be reassured that circumstances are now entirely different. For a start we are no longer dependant on the solvency of a small US hosting company, and have no less than three geo-diverse servers on line these days two of which are in the UK and wholly owned. It's no longer a one-man show, and in fact it's as many people who want to come on board and do something. The position of "editor-in-chief" is still open if you want the job? But, be warned, the pay is poor. I'm very concious of the need to put things on a somewhat more formal basis, as so much that is Bedlington passes from pillar to post and sooner or later dies a death. That's not going to happen here even over my dead body! A community-run and civic resource it must always remain, far from the clutches of American megacorps, and - quite unlike our government - wholly democratic.

Wrong about what? Wrong about letting anyone who wants to live off our state entry into our country (thus packing out the formerly dwindling ranks of something-for-nothing socialism, as per the Blair/Brown/Balls hidden agenda)? Wrong about not funding the tired old men of Europe and their gravy-train politics? Wrong about getting back to trading freely with the rest of the world and not participating in the biggest cartel in history? Wrong about the need for a party that provides a true alternative to the three woolly social democratic parties we now have? Wrong about actually having the long-overdue referendum on the EU (not The Common Market), and not simply "cast iron" promising one, then having total amnesia on the matter the moment they get into power? Wrong about not giving away eight billion pounds a year on an entry ticket to a club that we don't need to be a member of, when that money could be recirculating in our own economy producing jobs and services for British people? I submit that Nigel Farage is "a brilliant politician and an extraordinary public speaker" because he's only saying what everyone knows to be true, and because he doesn't need to fall back on the usual politico's evasions, subterfuges and diversions. i.e. telling the truth is actually quite easy, because you don't have to guard and pre-filter every word. I think that what upsets you is the irrefutable logic, together with the "class" of people he draws much of his support from.

Do not install this one unless you have time to waste! Lots and lots of people reporting problems and I've wasted hours recovering a machine three times from the black screen with mouse cursor curse! Hide it until M$ fixes at least some of the problems. When you do try it make sure that it's the only update you run - i.e. don't let any other updates install at the same time, and reboot the machine a couple of times after you do, before you try doing anything else. This is an "Optional" update related to video and not a security update, so you don't need to install it anyway!

Somewhat more LD voters (even % wise) transferred to UKIP than Tory voters - which is strange considering the LD love affair with Europe and the fact that the majority of Tories are "eurosceptic". This means that a significant proportion of LD supporters don't share the leadership fixation with Europe either, and only support the party for their record on management at a local level. I think they've shot their temporary cred at offering a real alternative at national level, and will revert to doing OK in local elections, but not being a credible force for change. Nige's "We'd have won if the Conservatives hadn't split our vote!" was the quote of the night. The traditional parties haven't woken up to new and unstoppable forces at work - just like the tired old men of Europe haven't worked out that their gravy train is rapidly heading towards the buffers.

Malc: On another thread you doubted my assertion that UKIP was becoming a serious force in national politics. Percentages: I think it more appropriate to post this here than the other thread because it's really a reflection of public opinion regarding "Dave's Big Speech". Like myself, few believe his promises any more. My easy prediction is that come the Euro elections Rumpy Pumpy is going to be facing a solid block of UKIP MEPS, being the majority UK party, a prospect which he's already very aware of.

He might be the Pope and infallible, but I've never entirely bought the story that he sat in the seat, but never pressed the fire button. Maybe he only just remembered something? Or more likely this time around he sat in the seat, but never pressed the fire button - and should have!?

From the plot of Kiss Me Deadly I think you probably are wrong. Chances are it's in this list: http://uk.imdb.com/k...wspaper-editor/ ...or try refining the search by changing the words at the end of the URL (separated by hyphens). Do let us know the gripping ending!

I just love the completely out-of-the-blue "Maybe because I am Jewish"! You won't do exactly what I want so you must be an anti-semite seems to work on lots of politicos. Haven't heard much from Cherie Blair since her little critique of Israeli treatment of the Palestinians have we? Some guy extracted a sample of one of our budget products once. I think we did get a half-baked magazine review out of it, but we were later ashamed we fell for the pitch! I'm surprised Eben didn't explain what a non-profit foundation means in real English, a concept obviously completely lost on "Steve"!

Make and model always helps. Also what's the actual problem? Those will help any repairer advise you about likely cost and viability, and whether they can take it on at all.

On the old political principal to never have a referendum when the vote is going to go against you, the politicos are going to cook up an excuse to go back on their promises. So many past promises, so much hot air. And they wonder why the public is disillusioned with political parties! Political manifestos - no wonder no one ever gives them the time of day! But at least we know how the Tories and the LD's say they stand. How does the Laurel and Hardy act on Labour's front bench stand? Seems to depend on which day you ask them, or which fag packet they are reading off the back of.

Why not create a free classified ad here (and make sure you update it when/before it expires)? If you contact a moderator they can arrange for a display ad for you too. 270 x 320 .gif .png or .jpg not to exceed a few KB. Also MyURL.co.uk will do you a special rate for hosting not-for-profit websites affiliated to bedlington.co.uk - top-notch high performance hosting not just pile 'em high sell them cheap! PM me for details.

Great work Brett, but I doubt that facebrook thing will ever catch on!

It's a law of nature - you never see the BIG event coming! Humans prattle on about largely inconsequential things (so called global warming; holes in ozone layer; horse meat; etc), but nature smiles and does its own thing. A lesson to the anti-nuclear/anti-progress lobby. They make a song and dance about inconsequential levels of radiation, yet nature bombards us with it constantly, and sets off the equivalent of a nuke over our heads without any warning. One day it will be more than an odd few tons of rock and poof - we'll all go the way of the dinosaurs! So they'd better start their protest campaign agin nature right now. Though they would do well to note that the only way we will ever have a tiny chance of escaping is if we intelligently pursue a nuclear future.

...though both cowboys and rustling may well be involved somewhere! Even if there was no emptoring - and the board were appointees - then they should have/be doing a substantial amount of caveating! The chairman and his board need to do some quick revision on their legal responsibilities. Here is a good starting place for their revision. Paragraph 11 would be particularly relevant, and doesn't provide for I-didn't-knows/nobody-told-mes. Paragraphs 16 to 20 might focus minds. My original post seems to indicate so. I never watched Blackadder, but didn't it popularise a phrase about planning?

It's worse than that merc! He states he was told three times there was no debt. A senior official of a company is required to find these things out for themselves and not to take what others say at face value. If he can't read his own company's accounts, or find someone who can, then he shouldn't have taken the job in the first place! He should be presenting the full facts to the club, and not coming up with excuses that read like a kiddie's sickie! A competent company chairman would call a meeting of members at the first opportunity. In such a serious matter it should probably be a meeting of all club members and not just significant stakeholders. Bedlington deserves better than this!

Upshot is that you shouldn't open any .PDF files that you aren't fully aware of the source of. The vulnerability is being exploited so this is not just academic stuff! Adobe PDF Reader 9.5.3, 10.1.5, and 11.0.1 are all affected, and there are no fixes just yet. http://www.computerw...researchers_say
