Hoo-blooming-ray!

They are taking Terry Wogan off the Eurovision Song Contest because he takes the mickey too much, and he's a whistle-blower on the corrupt voting for the dirges on display.

We only watched it for Wogan's asides, now that Eurovision has adopted the EU tactics on any criticism, as well as the EU tactics on protectionism, we won't watch any more, and I will urge that the BBC should stop ploughing any more licence fee cash into it

IT WILL BE MY FINAL TIME RETURNING... TO LIVE AND/OR TO VISIT...

Just like the FAT broad who is so unhappy who manages to drop something over my head when your show comes on, I don't recieve a reward and well I am just tired. I have done all I am going to do and well... entertaining you all really does not mean that much to me anymore...

You can read all of this but you can't read the rest...

I have selective hearing from this point on, from now until March (when my children come home, I have one goal, getting them back home then relocating somewhere where I am wanted, let me see... Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan!

My number one goal is to get as FAR away from www.LisaRaye.com as I possibly can and I NEVER want to see her ever again in my life the minute I can close THAT chapter in my life the better... this will the the LAST time she causes this kind of pain in my life... I will always choose my children over you and you cannot use your jealousy of my love for them to hold me back from them, ever again... never!

I am sorry to see that Barack Obama, President-elect of the USA, has a poor opinion of the British - which, in American terms, usually means the English - but, as he was educated in the USA, this is not surprising.    The USA is the only country where, in peacetime, I have been threatened physically because I am English.     Remarkably, this hostile attitude exists despite the probability that very many Americans are themselves racially English, as, indeed, was the very first President of the USA.

Against the alleged violent treatment that Barack Obama's grandfather endured, presumably as a suspected supporter of the Mau Mau, I believe that the Mau Mau terrorists killed not only 30 Europeans but also 11,000 black Kenyans who opposed their savage attempt to obtain personal power.    The violence that erupted earlier this year in independent Kenya shows that the internal power struggle continues.

Furthermore, I wonder why, in 1960, before Kenya became independent, Barack Obama's father was granted a scholarship in the USA to train him for ruling Kenya?

Finally, in view of Barack Obama's dislike of the English, it is ironic, if true, that he, himself, is racially half English, on his mother's side.

OK, Broyan, it might not actually be you. (Back row on the right?) But is this close to your heart? It looks, and sounds, like a flying clap-clinic to me, not Lassa Fever.

    A invention at Stanford Research Institute has completed its 40^th Year. Any guesses it’s our Computer Mouse which has been invented in 1968 by Doug Engelbart and by 2008 is ruling out the world with its simple click’s.

So, computer’s most vibrant input device, the “mouse”, has entered into its 40s on Monday. 

The way mouse has transformed over the years it is something unbelievable that the first-ever mouse was made from a wooden block with wheels mounted on its base, and attribute a red button on top of its case, and a cable at its back, which probably made one of the researchers to nickname it as “mouse”.

Getting back to history and recalling his memories on its name, Engelbart said, “We thought that when it had escaped out to the world it would have a more dignified name. But it didn’t.”

Though Engelbart proposed the idea in early 1960s, while studying the correlation between computers and humans, the first prototype of the device was developed in 1964, and a full-fledged working mouse was demonstrated in Fall Joint Computer Conference in San Francisco in 1968.

The first commercial version of the mouse was launched by Xerox in 1981, but the device gained recognition after Apple launched it with its Macintosh computer systems in 1984.

Since then the device has been a prominent input device for computers, but today, it is facing stringent competition from touch screen interfaces and gesture control, as offered by devices like Apple’s iPhone and Nintendo Wii.

I was at a meeting all day and missed everything :( Any help with the High Noon, Vintage Cut, Remix and Interactive 9@9 from yesterday will be greatly appreciated ;) Thanks!

"Savers thrown to the wolves" screams the headline in today's Daily Mail. But what if the Bank of England hadn't cut rates by a further percentage point to 2 per cent yesterday? Easy. "Borrowers/homeowners/small companies thrown to the wolves" would have done just as well.

It is certainly true that savers are being penalised by rate cuts, and that this is innately unfair, given that they are, generally, those who have been more conservative. However, companies have been crying out for lower interest rates - and not, in most cases, because they have been profligate. There was no pain-free option for the Bank.

Without recent sharp rate cuts, the chances of this recession tipping into a depression would be even higher. That would not help anybody. It's not that I expect the latest cuts to get us out of the current mess. I just think that we would be in an even worse mess without them. Similarly, bank recapitalisations are of course highly undesirable. They are, however, preferable to a string of bank failures and a defunct financial system. Yes, the economy is in very bad shape. But it could have been even worse.

We must hold the government and the banks to account for their actions in bringing us to this pass. Gordon Brown can't just shout a lot at the banks about passing on the interest rate cut to borrowers (which quite a few are already doing) as if this is the crux of the issue.

But there is little point in arguing against measures designed to address current problems, on the grounds that we wish we weren't in this mess in the first place.

Casino tips and quick reminders will help the player to protect while gambling online whether it is poker games, blackjack or any other game. Some people consider online instant chat, messenger, emails or buddy communication systems are not safe methods to deal with. The most important point in online gambling is that the player should never hand out his password to friends, casino support or to any person as it is particularly foolish to transport that kind of information over insecure communication organization.

When you enroll a gambling site and notice that there is something erroneous, money missing, etc, it is most likely best to withdraw the remaining funds from your free online casino  gambling account. But many people leave enough to give the impression that you may have entered and played off most of the money and not appear you caught on there with a trouble. This not only keeps them from become conscious that you started a withdrawal and going in and canceling it but also may help keep them feeling comfortable accessing your account which might sometime help casino security to break the crook.

Anyhow once you have taken most of funds out of the account there is little left to lose by allowing the crook to feel safe toward accessing your account. Once you get your money out the issue must be addressed prior to gambling there again and let casino security handle it. In this matter the player should be confident to let the casino support know that you started a withdrawal to save the remaining money in your account. This will help them to know that the withdrawal was done by the player and not by the guilty party.

Following on from my plan last year for Integration Farms, how about a similar scheme for the terminally unemployed?

Some people are long term unemployed, living in state housing, on handouts from the tax payer, and are running to fat as a result.  Give them a second chance in life. 

Allocate them some unused land, help them build their own houses and farm that land to live off.

Problem solved.
