Video of the girl whose bungee rope broke. There are numerous videos but this is the funny one – you can hear one woman crying out “She’s in the fuckin water!” – well yes, where else would she be? And the company say “the broken equipment has been replaced” – sort of goes without saying doesn’t it?
Russell Brand has filed for divorce from Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage.
This was as certain as night following day, water being wet and people regretting those tattoos they get when under control of that “love” thing (as they did). She’s way better off without him.
The UK’s biggest trade unions have drawn up plans for a sustained campaign of industrial action involving several one-day national strikes
BBC News – Unions planning ‘series of national strikes’
Good. Unions are part of the solution right now, they are not any part of the problem. Those in power that say Unions are the problem are themselves part of the problem.
My greatest regret… It’s corny, but it’s that I met my wife Gemma quite late in life. I wish I had met her 20 years before: my life would have been 20 years happier.
Ben Goldacre wrote me an email, “Apparently the govt have leaned on the bbc to use the word “savings†instead of “cutsâ€. be nice if someone made something that resubstituted “cuts†back in. “thehonestificatorâ€. whatever.â€

You thought “Screw this British weather, screw the low wage, screw the taxes” and you went to Libya where you got well paid, paid nothing in tax and yet as soon as there is a hint of trouble you start bleating for help. Cameron should have made you walk home. You deserve no help.
I watched the first Shuttle launch in the one lecture theatre at the High School in 1981. Big deal that was way back then. I was playing snooker on the night Challenger blew up, was on the internet and #irc when Columbia disintegrated. So I really should watch the last flight take off tonight. If you haven’t watched any NASA channel video on YT it’s all damn good stuff and I totally recommend Ascent which is a 45 minute video covering the last few seconds before the shuttle leaves the pad. Amazing.
BBC Mr Cameron referred to the situation in 1940 during an interview with Sky News in which he was asked about the changing nature of the “special relationship” with the US and his meeting with President Obama on Tuesday.
“I think it is important in life to speak as it is and the fact is that we are a very effective partner of the US but we are the junior partner,” he said.
“We were the junior partner in 1940 when we were fighting the Nazis.”
David Cameron is in charge of the govt and he hasn’t the balls to stop sucking up to the US. Still, those that voted the Govt in must be proud of him. Someone has to be. But the rest of knew and now have the proof that he’s an idiot. A toffee-nosed, silver spoon in the mouth sycophant. I wonder when he’ll have the history books changed.
If you voted for the government you voted for this.
Inequality will now, without doubt, yawn yet wider again, as the distributional impact becomes depressingly clear. Many well-paid people, like myself, have now found they have been barely touched at all by the budget – not even my winter fuel allowance or Freedom Pass. But even the better-off will see local libraries, leisure centres and police stations closing, dirty streets and overgrown parks, fewer buses, the homeless back on the streets in 1980s numbers, rising crime and public squalor. The sense that the cuts were needlessly brutal will soon take hold.
Polly Toynbee – The Guardian
Journalists usually ask politicians questions in an election campaign to catch them out, trip them up and cause a gaffe. Not this time. I genuinely wanted there to be no story yesterday when I asked Michael Gove a question that matters more than most things. I asked if he could guarantee that nursery schools would not be allowed to charge top-up fees for the currently free places of every three- and four-year old. I asked it this way, that way and the other way. Other journalists joined in, too, but no. He would not, could not give that pledge. I sincerely hoped he would kill the story dead, but no.
