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.

Ronaldo scored a wonder goal in the champions league last night, was it his best ever?- the times has a vote.

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!

this... news article about a video game.

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.

"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
