From 1987, an ad for Denny rashers.
Innocent until proven sizzly.
Good times.

An online David paper.
We’re They’re calling it the Daily McDreamy.
“I have decided to write a daily update on how I manage my money day to day, what I watch, who I listen to and how, after absorbing all this, I act. The note is for your information as a supporter who has been reading my writing for years. It is not advice; rather it explains my thought process.
The reason I spend time thinking about how money works, is not to be a rich person but to be a sovereign and independent individual who can look after himself and his family. For me, this is very important and, as traditional employment and traditional pension schemes become more and more unreliable, I believe all of us have to rely on ourselves that bit more.
Relying on yourself, means taking time to figure stuff out for yourself rather than leaving it to so-called experts.
The daily note called Global Macro 360° will be a morning newsletter published before lunch, detailing what is going on every day in the global economy and where there may be opportunities….Should you decide to subscribe, you will get the first weeks’ subscriptions free and you can see what you think of it. Thereafter, the note, the information and all the ideas will set you back less than the price of three pints a week…”David McWilliams, In an email to his website subscribers.
Sounds equitable.
FIGHT!

The issue had been raised in the Dáil yesterday by Fianna Fáil TD John McGuinness who said a female member of An Garda had contacted him about the issue. The Carlow-Kilkenny TD said the confidential recipient Oliver Connolly told her “the last man who used the service was now washing cars in Navan”.Mr Shatter said however the only knowledge he had of the issue was what Mr McGuinness said yesterday and on RTÉ radio this morning. “I don’t have knowledge of the conversations the confidential recipient has with members of An Garda Síochána, ” he told Fianna Fáil justice spokesman Niall Collins.
Shatter had ‘no knowledge’ of Garda claims of sex harassment (irish Times)
“I find the whole thing a complete mystery, I have absolutely no idea what Mr. Connolly was thinking.
“To be quite frank with you, I’m utterly astonished at some of the commentary that has now come into the public arena. I don’t understand why he conducted himself in that way.”

“The MSc Course in Digital Feature Film Production at Filmbase, Temple Bar [Dublin] are in the midst of a campaign to fund the production of two feature films. ‘Poison Pen’ is a romantic comedy written by Artemis Fowl author Eoin Colfer, while ‘The Light of Day’ is a mockumentary billed as ‘The Office meets Heart of Darkness’, by course alumnus Chris Brennan.
“We’re looking to raise €25,000 to cover the production costs of the films, and with less than two weeks left in the campaign, and we’re trying to spread the word as best we can,. Funding details ( below). Thank you.”

Seems the GCHQ [UK intelligence] were watching all of us through our webcams from 2008 to 2012 and shipping the data back to the NSA. And 3% to 11% of the images “contained undesirable nudity” (begging the question, what do the NSA class as “desirable nudity”?). …Charles Stross, sci-fi writer of some renown from Scotland, has the best take yet on this:
Turns out, UK law on child pornography and the GCHQ’s status as a defence agency and not a law enforcement agency, makes for a bad combination from GCHQ’s perspective (they may just have become the worst case study in child pornography in the history of the UK).
And the automatic porn filters that GCHQ were trying to use on the images collected should result in future Al Queda videoconferences being held “in the nude, on Yahoo! video chat” :D
