I don't remember voting for Lord Mandy to be PM. Surely if ID Cards we mandatory. Mandy couldn't apply for that job. Been caught stealing? Twice?
Epic fail
Didn't we go to war in Iraq and Afghanistan because of unelected representatives I'm going to write to the ole Us of A and ask them to invade.
Maybe he should of announced a good tracker to pick the Albums up from. That would have been much more like he was in the good old days.
But then again.....'What Difference Does It Make'
I get my long jacket so I can swing it around as I try to dance but yet not look like I'm trying to dance
This sounds more like a loyalty card for local people. The council has all my personal details already as they take over £1200 from my bank account annually, so maybe I should have a card that says Yes! I do pay your wages
But struggling.... is this a loyalty card or a ID card.............................. Not to ID yes to Loyalty / Privilege. Cannot compute
I think Kylie warned us about this long before any one else. Her models wore RED boxes over their faces but I think her point is obvious.
Going to do something embarrassing then wear your box. Colour your own choice.
Anon because I'm in my coloured box on now
It would be interesting to find out how many employers lie when describing roles.
The amount of times I have been for an interview offering the Market Rate only to find out it is the Market Rate for Poland.
We have this job here which is so interesting you will LOVE IT You can do this and this and we will provide training in this and this and we are a loving caring family. We really try to look after our employee's as if they are our own children...... Oh and did I mention the endless promotion possibilities.
They lie we lie, the key to a good interview is to try and meet somewhere in the middle. I would love to take some companies to account for the falsely advertising roles. I once attended an interview for a Junior Web Admin (circ 18K) when I was currently working as a Senior Web Admin (circ 32k).
You would need to be pretty sure they are going to nail you to the wall to risk getting locked up for not handing the keys over...
I'll bet the Scooby Gang could get the keys ............................................and I would have got away with it if it wasn't for you meddling kids.
I wonder what the statistical chance or getting a wrong CRB Check is against getting run over outside your own home.
Would be nice to see NULabour doing something about that
I would imagine it would be a little more tricky than sticking up a speed camera...... and not really a vote winner either
We will do everything in our power to get as much information as we can and load it all into a database but if we are wrong then its Tough Luck on your part.
In America (i believe although this could be wrong) if an update is made to your Credit Record you must be informed of the change by law. Pity we don't have laws to protect us from Fat fingered civil servants.
If we want this service in this country we have to pay for it.
Is it just me or are things getting a whole lot more scary.
So I can send my CV for this one. I more training courses under my belt than she has...
and I think McKinnon should be given a good boot up the arse and sent on his way
and I think that Phorm should get the same treatment.
and I think anyone else left over from the Bush era should get eth same treatment.
Would you Vote for me?
The message sent from LV426 was rather more comprehensive than the company had let on....It was actually a Wikipedia page explaining about the origins, make up and destructive force of the Aliens.
So what about the ASH switch?
The Company had actually got the message years before but it took the Wiki so long to load that they didn't get the message until years later just in time for the launch of Nostromo and a quick crew change.
So what's the new story. They are going to tell us (John Hurt voice over) what the Wiki page said and sprinkle some recreations in there as well. Much like what was done at the start of the LOTR when they filled in the story of the origins of the ring
Job done. Cheques to the usual address please. I'll still watch it
Scott 9 is right.
I miss the excitment of winning/selling in a 0.99p auction. I miss the nice emails from happy customers, never had any mean ones but I did get a couple from Nigeria offering me untold wealth. The real buzz of ebay used to be the thrill of getting rid of some old peice of crap that somebody else was really happy to get. Recycling before it became trendy
It is just no fun anymore and largely too expensive to buy and sell. A victim of their own success.

I recently had my card cloned and money stolen using a machine in Eastern Europe. When speaking to the Bank they of course blamed me for being careless with my card or using it obvious way.
When I pointed out that my card had never been used in any cash machine or shop (its the bills account all of which are paid by standing order) they where rather stuck for words. Of course they would lanch a full investigation into how my details go into the wild and get back to me.
Haven't heard anything since.
Growing up in Northern Iron' I and everyone that lives there is used to this level of harassment by the police.
First of all it starts with Tough Policing then it moves to Aggressive Policing and before you know it Police sanctioned murder. 'We couldn't get the evidence but we knew he was guilty'.
I moved here 18 years ago and was amazed the police didn't have guns or the seriously bad attitude. You could stop and have a chat with a policeman about nothing much and it would be a largely pleasant conversation. Even if they were investigating you for some minor misdemeanour.
Now England feels just like home where the police are to be avoided at all costs.
Lament your loss of Freedom because once its gone it will never come back.
icon: I'll get my coat as I am looking for my next overseas home where I can raise my family in peace. Its not too much to ask.....Is it?.
And I want them exposed to as much as possible in the safe and controlled environment of their school. I would love them to meet authors, interesting people from the community and anyone else that will have a positive effect on their education.
How do I decide who will have a positive effect on my child's education. I take a interest in my child's education. Radical idea I know having an input into what my child learns and not relying on the school to just do their job.
But I do expect all these visits to be supervised by her teachers who I trust implicitly. They have all been checked because it is reasonable considering the amount of time and influence they will have over my child. So I don't see why vetting is needed for casual visitors or even casual Professional visitors. At no time will these visitors be allowed to have a private sessions with my child or take them away from school.
This is just another example of Labours belief that the magic bullet of a database can cure all of societies ills.
Icon: Big Brother obviously
As it is facing the other way and is a different colour.
But never fear get your lawyers from the same place as the RIAA and they will sue their ass of guilty of not. But if you do will you become the thing you despise most.
Of course copyright seems to be a little more important now!
I want a
'As seen on El Reg' T-shirt
It will end up just like speeding tickets. You will be sent a letter saying
'We have evidence that you have been downloading illegal material if you want to contest the evidence please wait while we issue a summons. If you wish to admit the offence then sign this form and return it to us and we shall issue a fine and a slap on the wrist.
Simple nothing to prove as most people will admit the offence rather than go to court. Some people will arguy the toss but not many.
Imagine all those £60 (or whatever the RIAA deems acceptable) fines rolling in. Pefect solution
Big Brother? Well who is going to issue the tickets
'The OFT said that it was not responsible for airlines and their websites complying with the Regulations. It also said that, unusually, there is actually no penalty for breaking the Regulations.'
So what you going to do about it? Nothing at all.
What annoys me is that they make you feel like scum because of your cheap flight , which isn't cheap at all.
Cheap flights aren't really cheap
because you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear and we are the Ad agency to prove it.
Pay us a load of millions to perform this minor miracle and then when the Tories get into power they can just cancel it and we still get paid.
Brillant!!
Shouty Shouty because we want you to Roll Up Roll Up for the greatest ID Card ever. It gets you into pubs and nightclubs and and and...it costs £60. Thank you!
Its not like they lost any money last year. Shell made a profit of £1.5 million per hour last year.
(And that isn't a typo yes 1.5 million per hour)
This is nothing to do with the credit crunch this is just exploiting the credit crunch to make even more money. And how much tax do they pay every year on that profit. Not as much as their staff have to pay.
I guess if we had a Prime Minister with a backbone things like this wouldn't happen. But we don't so it does.
Shouty Shouty - Bastards.
They're on the ropes. Don't stop until they are down and not getting back up.
A big thank you to New Labour for NOT defending our rights. Cheers Gordon. I wonder how long it will be before Gordon announces this as a new policy for Election. I will defend your privacy from those that seek to invade it. WOT Like New Labour
'And presumably Google will end up doing DPI or similar to serve you targetted ads for which you and the ISP will get f--k all.
At least I can choose not to use Google in the same way I do now. So would most of the people here that had a choice. ....... We wanted to choose. PHORM took that choice from us
So it there going to be any prosecutions over this.
One: Are the girls that posted the pics going to have a visit from a law agency.
Two: The users of this system. Have they deleted/forwarded/printed any of these pictures.
Three: Apple distribution of child porn.
Thoughs of Operation Ore spring to mind.
Ho Ho Ho everybody is laughing but isn't this just the social stigma of child porn being watered down. What next pictures of children at nursery school.
Ahh Quake. I nearly failed my degree because of Quake.
Quake2 a little wobbly
Quake3 Outstanding
And now QuakeLive. A full version of Quake3 available online for free. Fantastic
Suck on this.... because that is what you will get if you turn up to QuakeLive.
Oh yes there was a story attached to this: Anything which make id more secure: Good! Interfere: BAD.
That's all
And why does he deserve 2 icons of his own.
I like the 'Big Brother' icon and the 'suck on this' icon
The problem is it's a little like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.
Jacqui is gone now so all this big Brother snooping is going to stop isn't it........
A shouty shouty for me please....
Is anyone going to follow them and more importantly is anyone going to enforce them.
Although the EU has a slightly better reputation of this than the British Government has
I want an icon for Little Brother watching Big Brother but is powerless to do anything about it
I feel this article is suggesting their is a split between the Government and the House of Lord's. Doesn't the Government listen to anybody else.
Does Sir Alan know that his recommendations will be completely ignored.... I guess that why he was able to keep his job on 'The Apprentice'. His appointment is a completely token move and the laws will be written by lobbyists on the payroll of large business's.
There you go... confusion cleared up.
