In the News

This thread is gonna be used to discuss things you've seen in the news recently. Everything from the war in Iraq.....to Britney's new hair do!!

So....i've been following the latest SKy vs Virgin Media story. Virgin Customers have lost rights to some Sky channels including Sky One....meaning no more new episodes of Lost and 24!
I think it's a silly argument...Don't see why Sky have not allowed their channels to be broadcast on Virgin media. Surely that means that they've lost millions of viewers now?
Not only that but it also means that Lost and 24 have lost many viewers too!

I heard about that too on the radio this morning. Seems that because of their petty differences, subscribers are the ones to lose out. Personally, I am unaffected, but I can assure you that if I was - I would be jumping up and down in a rage and yelling obscenities like a fish wife!!

I also think it's absurd about the fuel contamination happening in the south right now. I never did like Supermarkets own fuels, I don't feel my car runs well on them.

The man, who worked for a parcel delivery service, had loaded the hydraulic press with empty boxes and started it up. At that point, the long-time employee walked to the edge of the charging (filling) hole, and used his foot to press the boxes further into the hydraulic trash compactor.

His foot was was seized by the press, and he was drawn into the chamber and crushed. He was not discovered until his colleagues needed to use the press again the next day.

If he was going to prison for something less serious, it would of been funny if he had a fake tattoo done on his body

My Grandma might possibly challenge that title. She's just turned 99 and still lives in a first floor flat on her own.

She's an inspiration, an absolute wonderful woman, and can still recall her childhood of when she used to live in a road not far from Bristol Rovers ground and how she used to sit on her doorstep and listen to the crowd cheering! Little stories like those are so interesting to hear from somebody who has lived for so long and can still have a good conversation!

Having said that, she is still extremely naughty! She tried having a play-fight with my 16 year old son: Imagine this, she is 4'6" and he is 5'11" - she starts throwing "punches" at him and then turning to me and giggling!!

I flew to the states twice last year, both times (at check in) had to remove my shoes, belt jacket etc, At the time I thought it was little bit over the top, but I can now see why.
