I’m going to see Jackass tomorrow! It better be good. Unfortunately it looks like I’m never going to get around to seeing DareDevil because it’s only on now during the day time and that doesn’t suit at all. I completely missed Final Destination 2 but what can you do? At least I got to see […]

OK I’m for War; Saddam is a brutal, harsh dictator. He should be removed, but unfortunately you can’t just go around removing regimes which you dislike but fortunately Saddam has screwed up, he is in violation of many Security Council resoultions, most recently UN Security Council

It’s a pity that the US media are so spineless when it comes to reporting. I was watching Fox News last night and I’ve decided that there isn’t a man who can make my blood boil…..

Well isn’t this just lovely. I thought that they might have survived a while when I saw it happen because if I remember correctly the astronauts on Challenger survived until they hit the ocean. Doesn’t bear thinking about

Salon.com have this interesting article on where the hydrogen for hydrogen powered cars will come from. I don’t think the article gives enough coverage to the usage of renewable energy to make the Hydrogen but it’s an interesting read all the same. George Bush has allocated money for research towards using coal to make the […]

Last night I saw the story on the news of the British Pensioner who was arrested for being on the FBI’s most wanted fugitives list. Apparently he had had his passport stolen or something and he was locked up for three weeks while they figured out that he wasn’t the man they were looking for…..Unreal!

Electric News is reporting this news
Ireland’s ComReg has said its flat-rate Internet access plans are on track, with wholesale prices set to come in at EUR12.77 per customer, per month.
