British boffin named first ever 'doctor of texting'

FAIL

Does it really help

If texting is helping the English language why in the final sentence of the story did someone feel the need to expand her comments for clarity?

Have we forgotten ....

the RAF are snobs and dislike helicopters.

When they were first brought into to service the RAF stamped its foot and had a little tantrum along the lines of "if it flies we should have it" then they promptly sidelined then as hard as they could. The army have more use for a helicopter than you can shake a stick at and they will always need one more but of course they are the army and the old boys club doesn't want they're skies cluttered.

What is a pathetic procurement process next to childish decisions that get soldiers killed.

I remember on several occasion when I was looking into joining the RAF and expressed an interest helicopters of getting the response "not good enough to fly jets are you!"

I think the dead bird spilling blood speaks for itself

Megan's Law snafu fingered in rapist's murder

Mostly missing the point

I don't particularly care about a man being murdered in a far away land - didn't know him, probably wouldn't off liked him - thats not the point here.

The point is a man died at the hands of a scumbag because data integrity issues were not observed. I don't care if karma caught up with him.

The rabble should not be allowed access to this kind of information because the providers CANNOT get it right initially let alone keep it up to date.

For all the people dismissing this as someone getting what they deserve I wonder how you will feel when someone with the same name as you is publicly listed as a monster and your neighbour burns down your house
