Kim Jong-un Declares War on Disney
Well not really, but Disney do take copyright infringement very seriously and it seems that Kim Jong-un’s actions may result in Disney getting serious annoyed. Here’s an extract from this report on the BBC.
When North Korea’s state news agency published photos of the country’s leader Kim Jong-un at a concert recently, the first face to catch the attention was on stage.
Amid the dancers and North Korean pop starlets, were a selection of Disney characters – among them Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
And no, the news agencies here in Seoul reported, the North Korean regime had NOT cleared copyright with the Disney Corporation.
The report is also about a mystery woman with the odious dictator. Why does she hang around with such a clot? Shades of Mrs. Merton’s famous question to Debbie McGee.
It Looks Like Another Rainy Day
Does the weather ever do anything else?
Are Rangers Really Going To Play In Division 3?
This post on the BBC web site leaves a lot of holes to be exploited and arguments to be settled.
There’s going to be a lot of money kilted by lawyers.
Friday The Thirteenth
I’ve left two jobs on Friday the thirteenth. Both new jobs were hugely successful. As I’m retired now, I can’t do that today, but I did finally get rid of my old house yesterday and as the solicitors are dealing with it today, I assume it’s good luck.
Another Good Reason Not To Use Facebook
It would appear according to this report on the BBC’s web site, that everything about Facebook, isn’t as it should be.
I wonder what is going to be the next social network phenomena!
Postman Cheval’s Ideal Palace
This turned up on the Tour de France. The web site is here. It looked amazing as the Tour passed.
Where Am I On A Global Fat Scale?
I filled in the calculator on this page on the BBC web site.
As someone who is 1.71 metres tall and weighs 64 kilos, it said.
I have a BMI of 22, I have less body fat than 94 % of males between 60 and 69 in the UK and 73 % of all males between 60 and 69 in the world.
I’m most like someone of between 60 and 69 in Burkino Faso. I’m probably not, because I’m the wrong colour.
The M4 Is Open Again
So what?
After all this is supposed to be a Green Games, so shouldn’t athletes and official be using trains to get to Stratford. The original plans for the Heathrow Express called for the trains to go to St. Pancras as well as Paddington. So what happened to that? Here‘s a press release from Railtrack.
If the Heathrow Express to St. Pancras, had connected to ThamesLink, in say a simple cross platform interchange, that would have been the quick way to get between London’s two biggest airports.
What’s Parking?
They’re discussing parking on BBC Breakfast this morning.
Two years ago, I had a stroke, which left me unable to drive. So I sold my car, moved to London and now if I want to go anywhere I just walk round the corner and get a bus, for which I never wait more than two minutes. This is because I live on a high capacity route.
The effect on my bank account has been dramatic and totally positive. A great game is to watch the idiots trying to part in my road.
Do I miss driving? No! Not at all!
Tour de Force In The Tour de France
It has been fascinating watching Team SKY control the most difficult stage in the Tour de France today. As ever ITV’s coverage has been ruined by advertising breaks. At least there is a decent commentary onf BBC Radio 5 Live.
I suppose if Team SKY get some of their riders on the podium in Paris, we might get the Tour coverage on one of their channels.
