Snafu! BT funnels all customers' sent email into one poor sod's inbox
Censorship FTW! China bans Paris Hilton, minor Kardashians et al
Tuesday 19th April 2016 08:28 GMT
Who are all these people?
Osbornes
That is easy Ozzy and his manager, seen his band live in the 80s.
Cardassians
Antagonists in ST DSN, commonly called Spoon Heads, I think one of Spandau Ballet may have been one, well they did look like Dukat.
AFAIK Hilton is a porn actress, apart from that no idea.
So out of all of these I would recognise the ex Black Sabbath singer and the aliens.

What's wrong with the Daily Mail Group buying Yahoo?

British newspapers
Funny really, I just have a look to see what is happening.
Mail is not that bad really, you can access it unlike some of News International sites.
I ignore the gutter press (eg Sun).
Mail and Express are pretty similar and to be honest a bit funny, you cannot take them serilously.
Independant is turning into Metro, which is not as good as it was for one section Games Central.
Guardian is a bit up its own bum but OK. Telegraph is OK.
However BBC is one of the better UK news outlets.
But all news outlets do seem to be getting worse than they were.
Killer Japan quake jolts Sony factories to a halt

Not again
Image Sensor & stuff <> Music publishers.
A few crooked Yanks screwed it up for the Japanese parent.
Let it rest.
And if you want to blame anyone, blame the people who bought the inferior video cassette format.
Yes that is why Sony bought into media, to make sure they could sell their hardware.
This is ONE reason why Blu Ray beat HD-DVD, Sony did not want a repeat of the sales failure of Betamax. It was a better format than Vhs, a LOT better.

Re: Pedant Alert
Why did they use the service name as a loco name?
The service was also ran by A4s like Mallard, and SNG, then Deltics named after race horses and regiments.
Then the HSTs SOME named, then the 91s. In between the hybrid sets with too much power.
Soon to be those new Hitachis things which seem like they may be a bit of a downgrade.

Re: As a former train driver.... EE lumps
New locos. Yes they are North American and are nicknamed sheds.
I am a big fan of the 50s, had a few great runs behind them, those V16s sounded lovely.
The old EE 10" bore 12" stroke lump has to be one of the best prime movers in railway history.
For information, fitted to in versions ranging from 250bhp to 3300bhp
Most larger shunters, the LMS and SR prototypes, all EE locos except ones with Deltics.(20, 37, 40, 50, DP2), 31s, 56s, 58s, 73s
2 valve no turbo, 2 valve turbo, then 4 valve, then intercooling, then better materials.
So the engine in those 1930s shunters at 250bhp was developed into the standard shunter engine of 400bhp.
The LMS twins of 1600bhp (2 valve), 40s at 2000 (4 valve), 50s at 2700 (intercooled), then 56s at 3250 (better materials so rev higher), all same basic V16 engine.

Re: Police have a good description…
I have only met one person who would match that description and......
1) Had social integration issues.
2) Not very bright, actually thick.
3) The rest of the spotters avoided him.
Most spotters were ordinary people who prefered machines to sportsmen.
I prefered jeans, heavy metal band T shirt, biking gear, and decent metal framed glasses.
If you were friendly and chatty you got to have footplate rides and learn about the railway.
Many happy hours spent watching trains and taking the piss out of passing mods on their scooters.

RE: NOTHING there for me.
Some people like Eastenders
Some watch MOTD
One person watches the Voice (shite)
Strictly gets huge viewing figures and is made in a way only the BBC could do. (See XCraptor for why ITV would fail)
I just wish they would keep on with series rather than pull them when they get good.
Black marks for Atlantis (pretty good) and Outcasts (not very but I wanted to know what happened)
But they peaked with Life on Mars/Ashes to ashes
Ad-blockers are a Mafia-style 'protection racket' – UK's Minister of Fun
Thursday 3rd March 2016 17:02 GMT
Internet Advertising needs regulating
Any UK sites need to be vetted and if they pass be available for an optional whitelist for ad block software.
Simple banner, I would allow them if relevant to the site, text ads the same. Simple 3 or 4 frame GIFs is not irritating.
I used to allow them until the advertisers started their war.
No I see none except on 3 forums.
