“Police investigating innapropriate comments” … it’s enough to make you weep …

A new Norovirus vaccine – just don’t tell non-smokers how it is made …

Via The Torygraph, one that I am sure Leg-iron would have a lot of fun with (emphasis mine) :

The vaccine uses dummy virus cells grown in tobacco plants to immunise the body against the winter vomiting bug.

Rather than being injected, it is administered up the nose in the form of a powder [...]

More bans from our freedom loving government – this time … loudhailers near Parliament.

Not outside Parliament love … move along now.

So much for respecting freedoms and repealing un-necessary laws …

A trawl through the latest Statutory Instruments reveals this little snippet coming into force on December 19th (emphasis mine) :

The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 (Commencement No. 2) Order 2011

More selective reporting at the BBC.

The impartiality bit comes out in one of the newly released Climategate emails :

The worlds most amusing workout equipment – the Tug Toner

Via David Thompson’s Friday Ephemera (which you really should catch each week if you don’t already), the world’s most inappropriate exercise aid : _ _ Yes it’s a complete piss take but don’t blame me if you manage to get your coffee all over your keyboard at the end of the video [...]

What on earth is “charged with improper use of a social networking site”?

Aside from the catch all offence of “incitement to or of X” which seems to be a favourite of our thin skinned society, I am left wondering exactly what the hell is “charged with improper use of a social networking site”?

Coming from the BBC, I suppose it is probably more to do with [...]

Greece demonstrating the wrong kind of democracy.

Via ZeroHedge, a very salient point regarding our wonderful leaders and their views on democracy :

If a leader in the Middle East finally gave into months of protest and decided to give the people a real say on an important issue, the Western leaders would be rejoicing. Obama would have a podium and [...]

The Wasp has an Estonian visitor this week which is why it has been a little quiet around here for the last few days.

Last night while visiting a few of the local pubs my friend picked up a beer mat (see first image below) and said why do you have these weird health [...]
