Simon Perry: Schemes, dreams & trivia

Tasered for asking questions …

and the way Fox news deals with it …

I went along to the unveiling of the LG Secret a couple of week ago — it was the much anticipated global launch — and was interviewed for Korean TV, the Korean Broadcasting System, to be precise.

Among other questions about my thoughts on the mobile industry and the chances of success of the Secret, they were very keen for comments on what I thought of LG vs Samsung - surprising as I thought they’d have wanted to provide unity between the two, not increase rivalry.

If you watch skateboard videos, it all looks like you could just get up and do it with a little practice (at your braver times … and from the safety of your chair).

Watching this video will give you quite a different view.

The judiciary is one of the last bastions of protection of the general population when the government is out of control.

Reassuring that the High Court has decided that the UK Serious Fraud Office acted unlawfully after ending its investigations in to bribe allegations by BAE systems.

At the time it was reported that the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair had put pressure on the SFO to end the investigation.

What happens when the government body setup to investigate fraud, is itself found to be acting illegally?

This is crazy. Looks like the Knob Creek Gun Shoot is a must at some time.

Very worrying.

If you think you can go into our lands and do what you are doing in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and think it will not come back onto your doorstep, may you have another thing coming.

Above is a reported quote from Umar Islam, accused and on trial currently for plotting to blow up planes flying to America from the UK.

I’ve got a very clear recollection of the Labour Government insisting that such a thing was ridiculous - of course the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan had no connection what so ever with the growth of UK-based terrorism, we were told.

Now these eight are on trial, this is conveniently forgotten — and, but of course, not brought up by the Mainstream media.

Intent? - Possibly. Ability? - Unlikely
On a separate note - even if these people currently on trial had a wish to carry out these plans, did they have the ability.

While you read the weeks of daily unfoldings of this current trail, take the time out to read an article on how possible it is to make a TATP explosives on a plane.

Those in the UK will know the furniture shop MFI well. They’ve been going for years.

I’ve never known what it stood for, but perusing the 20 Least interesting photos of iwbus, I stumbled across the answer.

MFI = Mullard Furniture Industries.

Argentinian election advert. Don’t let that put you off, it’s genius.

If only all advertising could be this intelligent.

Not being a football fan makes this bit of video all the more amusing.
