I'm glad to report that another of the padded envelopes with the lanyards has reached its intended destination.

Yebo, something like that, Francois, plenty of Kodak moments 
Agreed too, this week fairly zipped along, the weekend has arrived faster than anticipated. The shops are all a-glitter with Xmas decorations, and i swear i'm going to scream if i hear a back-to-school slogan before the year ends... Schools reopening earlier next year too, back to the grindstone on the 15th for moi.

The bliksems! The likely solution is that there's so much hue and cry from the public that the networks need to capitulate. Maybe this would be a good opportunity for Branson to put his money where his mouth is and use this niche to Virgin's advantage...

I found a prized candidate for 'Cretin Of The Year 2006' award...this may take some beating...taken from one of yesterday's free London newspapers, called The Metro:
(article and cellphone video of this stunt can be found at http://www.metro.co.uk/news/a[....]article_id=24454&in_page_id=34 ) :
" 'Bumfire' night display goes wrong
Wednesday, November 8, 2006
A bum deal: Firework gag goes wrong: A dangerous prank quite literally backfired and landed a 22-year-old squaddie in hospital with a scorched colon – after he stuck a firework up his bottom.
The soldier inserted a rocket in a place definitely not recommended by the Fireworks Code and, as onlookers cheered, lit the blue touchpaper.
The prankster, who has not been named but who recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq, was badly burned.
Witness Daniel Kassim, 16, said: 'There were around 40 of us after the bonfire had finished.
'This lad was saying, “This is boring, what can we do?”. He then put a rocket up his backside and set light to it.
'Everyone was laughing and didn't believe he'd do it. He pulled his trousers down and it exploded within seconds.
'No one thought he was hurt. But then he stood up and walked a few metres before stumbling and falling to the ground. There was quite a bit of blood.'
Police and paramedics were called to the Monkwearmouthon area of Sunderland after the stunt on Sunday.
The victim was taken to Sunderland Royal Hospital where he is having treatment for internal injuries.
Onlookers said the man was mimicking a scene from Jackass where the character Steve-O shoots a firework from his rear.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents reiterated its warnings about the dangers of playing with fireworks.
'It's very sad that this person had to learn about the dangers posed in this way,' it said. "
____
What a poephol (literally...), he could've been a candidate for the infamous Darwin Awards if the injuries were more severe...

I just read that to my friends. Wrong guy here. Just had to hear another worse story. Trying to cut it out!
I was thinking darwin awards all along while reading that article. The guy is lucky he is not a darwin awards candidate:) so quick question, why is it called the darwin awards?
Hope virgin does something, but how many people will care? How many people know what voip is? But anyway.
@ psycho, please tell me there is no weasel on that car?!

@ Francois,
Apart from the well-known evolution theories, Charles Darwin also pioneered the 'natural selection' theories.
They are called the Darwin Awards, as it 'proves' (jokingly) that 'natural' selection is at work; those deceased by these self-inflicted, incredibly moronic acts is nature's way of ridding (refining?) the human race of such 'beings'.

It's 0.30 and I can't fall asleep because some moron two floors above me has decided that he needed to relive the early 90s with some Nirvana- playing at full blast.
