Parkinson says what I've been thinking...

RBS cuts one in five of its workforce in the UK. I hope that Bambi and Mrs Hibbert are not working in the Group Manufacturing division.

BT accidentally cuts through some copper wires and fibre optic cables plunging as many as 35,000 people off line and stops the London Transport Authority from managing their traffic lights.

he may be a w@nker, but he CAN play...
Ronaldo scored a wonder goal in the champions league last night, was it his best ever?- the times has a vote.

I'd go with the portsmouth freekick.

[BarcelonAl]

The Portsmouth free-kick was good, but hitting a moving ball like last night and putting it in the top corner from 40 yards out is something else!

Tom sent me this... news article about a video game.
May be SLIGHTLY tongue in cheek.

I love the last thing the presenter says before it cuts off at the end. (Or is that my sick sense of humour coming out again??)

[Mike]

Home Births for low risk women are as safe as Hospital Births. As proved by Lizzie and Millie!

[Mike]

Digital Pirates the Pirate Bay have been given a years jail sentence and have been fined $3.6million which will need to be paid to major media companies!

[mr_e]

The Pirate Bay trial was a slight shock... hell, I didn't even think they made much money from the site. They have no hope of paying off those fines if they're upheld, it's just complete fantasy money. On the plus side, it gets the whole copyright issue into the limelight again.

I was going to post the one about the boy who fell... wait found it. I don't know if he was lucky to have his fall broken or not.

[stimpsonslostson]

OUCH! Speaking as someone who's spent an inordinate amount of time in labs, that stuff is NOT nice!

[Mike]

Someone is going to have to answer quite difficult questions to the HSE. . . broken roof, unattended vats of acid. . . bad stuff really all round. Poor kid.

[Mike]

Sun dims and Tesco makes landmark pre-tax profits

Interesting day for the news then!

[BarcelonAl]

Interesting day for the news then!

Don't forget the fact that we're all going to have to start driving slower.

[Fez]

i think this one tops the 'interesting news day' trumps

[Mike]

I wonder if he is also sueing his wife for infidelity! Funny story!

[stimpsonslostson]

"Here's 2grand... go sh@g my beauty queen wife!" Nice work if you can get it!

I LOVE the fact that they tried 3nights a week for 6months before they suspected that something was up! (I must confess I half expected to read that they'd been using contraception so they could keep "trying").

good find
