I had another good
night's sleep. I must be doing something different to be acheiving
this; I just wish I knew what it was. Over brekkie I watched Family
Guy. I'm getting rather fed up with that now; must sort out another
boxed set of DVDs to watch in the mornings.
Once I'd scraped the ice
off of my car I set off to work on a rather cold morning. The
morning's news featured an interview with the deputy Prime Minister
who was having trouble
with one of his underlings.
Lord Rennard has
apparently allegedly been rather offensive to the ladies. I don;t
know the full details, but it's claimed that he has caused upset.
Lord Rennard denies the allegaition, and an eminent QC found that
although the women's claims were “credible” they could not
be proved beyond reasonable doubt. I can't understand what the deputy
Prime Minister is up to here. How can he force someone to apologize
if they deny the allegatio, and the weight of legal opinion is on
their side?
There was also mention of
the Rosetta
space probe. Unuusually the pundits did not treat the matter as
something deserving of ridicule as is their usual way. Rosetta has
been in switch-off mode for nearly three years and it's now nearing
its destination comet. the switch on signal has been sent. Has it
worked? Has Rosetta reactivated? Let's hope so.
And there was a worrying
claim made by the British
Retail Consortium. If one beleives what one reads it would seem
that crime is on the decrease. Apparently it is not. Apparently it is
soaring; the figures are misleading because no one has any confidence
in the police and so no one reports crime any more. It's not just me
who isn't their greatest fan then...
In the meantime a word of
warning to anyone who might consider plugging their
fridge into the Internet. It would seem that the average fridge
doens't come with anti-virus software; hackers and spammers are
targetting smartfridges to get them to then start spamming an
unsuspecting public.
All utterly irrelevent to
my daily round, but it just goes to show that there is more to life
than my petty concerns....
