Got a friend that you don’t like?
Buy them this for Christmas…
Simply plug it in to any USB device, and hey presto! 220volts of Russian goodness will be making it’s way to your hard-drive, like bad sperm to an egg…

Two videos explaining the state-of-play regarding TTIP.
Two videos…
One for…
One against…

This stat has been bandied about in the absence of any believable figures from the government for some time…
Since China’s property bubble went pear-shaped and threatened to pop, figures having been fighting a turning tide of debt fueled domestic demand, and generally flat export and rising wages.
June’s black-Monday on the Shanghai stock exchange have only highlighted what many China insiders have been speculating for a long time.
The whole thing’s a house of cards and it’s not a case of ‘if’, but ‘when’.
The authorities are holding out – perhaps in the hope they can dump the blame elsewhere when things eventually do go tits up. The current South China Sea situation plays into this whole scenario…
Many reckon that rather than risk political and economic destruction, it would be simpler for the government go to war and call for national cohesion in the face of the ‘foreign devils’ who threaten the heavenly kingdom’s 5,000 year old culture and envy at it’s regime.

This girl is privileged, in that nature understands and responds to her, only doing completely the opposite of what she commands…
She becomes more agitated as the bear continues with it’s disobedience – by pawing at her kayak. Although the kayak doesn’t seem to sustain any serious damage, the girl is hysterical and mystified as to
Maybe it’s a Chinese bear?
I like the odd UFO video.
Thought I’d get this one before it appears on the Yahoo! News front-page.
A Dutch passenger captured UFO on video while on board the Ryanair airbus near Eindhoven, the Netherlands heading to Spain. Coincidentally, the passenger was recording because she enjoyed the view.
After 4 minutes recording this UFO event happened.
The engines made a lot of noise and the pilot made suddenly a sharp maneuver as the object passed under the wing.
