Princess Beatrice and Her Charities Have the Last Laugh
The price of her hat has now passed £75,000 according to the BBC.
Noone could call that anything but a good result for the charities she is supporting.
If you want to bid, the hat is still on sale here on eBay.
The End of the World Is Nigh!
I thought it was some time since the usual American Christian nutter said this, but the latest one has just been announced.
The guy behind it all has the name of Harold Camping. So does that mean he’s a bit like John Inman ‘s character in Are You Being Served?
I suspect it’s just another plot by a religious nutter to relieve the stupid of their money.
Wikipedia says this on its entry for Harold Camping.
He has used Bible-based numerology to predict dates for the end of the world. His current end times prediction is that the Rapture will be on May 21, 2011 and that God will completely destroy the Earth and the universe five months later on October 21. He had previously predicted that the Rapture would occur in September 1994.
So he got it wrong once! Well we might think that, but how much money did he make the first time? Perhaps he made a lot, so it is now time to fleece another few thousand victims with this outrageous fraud.
Poking a Hornets Nest
An unnamed footballer, who everybody who wants to know, knows who he is anyway, is trying to take action against Twitter, so that those that posted his name there can be hauled before the Courts to be punished.
All this will do is make matters worse, as many more Twitter users will just add to the posts.
The man, whoever he is, is an idiot and he is just pouring more money into the pockets of greedy lawyers. C did her first pupilage in defamation chambers and if she were still alive today, she would be cursing her decision to go into the much more rewarding field of Family Law, rather than stay in a more lucrative field, that relieves the vain of their easily earned money.
Alex Ferguson and Twitter
Alex Ferguson is quoted today as saying that his players should abandon Twitter and go to a library and read a book.
Why Twitter appeals to the average football and idiots of all kinds, is that because the character limit is 140 characters. Books are generally much longer than this!
On the other hand Boris Johnson was quoted yesterday after his first experience of Twitter was that this character limit makes you think about how to say something concisely. But Boris is a man who knows his words well, even if he sometimes puts both feet in his mouth occassionally.
Perhaps this thinking idea, is what Sir Alex should instill in his players. Lawyers wouldn’t be too pleased, as it would close off the quite a few routes, like superinjunctions of trousering a lot of readies.
