I`ve never really been 100% sure about arming police officers as a matter of course. Some days it seems like a good idea and other days not so good at all.
....it`s cos they just shot a blind man in the back with a tazer !!! WTF :shock:
....

I have mixed feelings on this one. But the counter argument to this story would be the two Manchester PC's who where attacked by criminals armed with guns, and grenades.

.... Personally, I'm bloody impressed that McKinnon managed to hack NASA. I agree with a couple of threads earlier saying: (a) he is clearly way too clever to lose; and (b) if I were NASA, I'd be saying "thank you very much for pointing out the big gaping holes in our security system, as it would have been so much worse if someone with malicious intent had found them first".
....

He didn't just hack NASA and he had malicious intent ......

When was the last time the US extradited saomeone to the UK on our request?

The extradition treaty is not entirely reciprocal... rolleyes

I don't know about the last time but they extradited somebody in July -

Personally I think that this was probably the wrong decision. If you read beyond the media coverage of the Gary Mckinnon case he is accused of causing a substantial amount of damage.

34. ..... At the same time he has tended to overlook the fact that, if prosecuted and convicted, the equivalent domestic offences include the offence under section 12 of the Aviation and Maritime Security Act 1990 for which the maximum sentence is life imprisonment.
The various arguments against his extradition rolled out by his legal team have been, he was making a political statement, the level of damage was trivial, the ease with which he broke into the systems, that he was just looking for UFO's and biased extradition treaty. When all of these arguments were refuted in the High Court eventually he was diagnosed with Aspergers.

If justice is to be seen the CPS should now look to prosecute the offences in the UK. Although that might be difficult as the CPS originally concluded 'there was no case in the UK', which I guess is why the extradition request proceeded in the first place.

See you at the Party and let me know if my outfit needs to be 'twister' proof :giggle:

Maybe we should make the party a 'wear an outfit suitable for Twister'. Oh and baby oil proof, there is still loads of oil left in the 6 bottles I bought for Kay's Birthday :twisted: .

Dreadful tweeky. Who had all the money? I've seen better talent in Working Men's clubs where they've been paid free beer all evening!

I thought the Olympics did well for London, and the close was good overall. Although I can't help speculating on that one GnV most of the money will have gone to the corporate pond life in 'Management Fees'?
Oh yes basically since the 80's there haven't been any good bands which will be the reason that so much of the music was from previous decades.
If the Olympics leaves a legacy to our younger generations that the route to success is via some work rather than sitting on benefits until picked by X factor/Big Brother/Britain's got talent etc that's not a bad thing.

They'd probably rely on the Royal Air Force or the Royal Navy instead.

I think they already have Trevaunance, apart from anything else I think the RAF are doing the cooking at where my daughter is staying in Hainault. Also as mentioned above she has said some things she has liked, apart from all the 'shite stuff', one of the good things she has said is working with all the branches of the Military.

AND NOW SOME 75 TO 80% of the way we live is decided by a foreign, arguably illegal, government. I say "illegal" because we British never voted for it nor has it been enforced on us through some lost war.

NOT illegal, just unaccountable if you are referring the Commission.
And not all of it is unelected, there do seem to be European elections, and I did think that UKIP even had a few MPs.

"Locog will draft in other people who hold accreditation on the park to fill empty seats. So far that has been the troops who are not on shift handling security."
I can only hope what they meant is 'LOCOG have asked some of the troops if they would like tickets'. I know from speaking to my daughter that many of the troops are getting quite tired what with having rest days cancelled, the strange accommodation (it seem G4S have little portable hotels and soldiers have four bunk portacabins), and the bizarre food.
It does just make you wonder what the government would do without the army.

A picture of an aircraft carrier, and 1000's of little bored icons, yes, I see 'Aircraft Carrier Bored'. I see what you have done. A question or two, and my thoughts:
1.Do you think this is funny? Personally I think it a bit puerile
2. Clever? Lots of us know how to cut and paste stuff, it isn't that hard, I think this just makes you look stupid
3. Making a valid point The point you are making, if any, is pretty much lost in the length of the post
I saw your first post, and agreed that this conversation had gone off the topic of 'The Olympics'. Personally I accept that happens with forums, isn't it better that folks at least chat about anything rather than well not chatting at all?
As a suggestion, rather than making yourself looking like an immature idiot (I totally agree with your signature by the way, when I finally got to it) why not wait and see how a topic of conversation develops? There may be a post that you aren't bored by, and to which you could respond? Alternatively post some words that are on topic?

God knows what the French would do if we pissed them off

Probably stop us the Royal Navy using their aircraft carrier for the next decade
I did think that one when I wrote the tongue in cheek comments for the post above. Sort of hoping that anybody from France wouldn't read the SH forums, and if they did had a (fairly tolerant) sense of humour. Seriously I know for instance that the French Foreign Legion (Légion étrangère) have a pretty damn good military record.
That aside I'm sure the folks that refer to the Land of Cheese eating surrender monkeys ....Sort of heading in the direction of another post that might just start a diplomatic incident.
Anyway surely the Americans would lend us a carrier for a bit, after all we have helped them out on all sorts of ill conceived military peace keeping expeditions on the basis of either possibly weak, spurious or even utterly incorrect justifications. Really all the Americans did was just ask. So if we ask they are sure to lend us an aircraft carrier or two if we wanted them, well they would wouldn't they .... hmmm .... surely.

no the area of east ham etc is pakistani muslim. when i drove through there on friday afternoon, i did not see a single person that was not of that origin. not going near the olympic village i am afraid

Yes, the other reason I did used to get out to East London was for the Lahore Kebab house on the commercial road. Well worth the walk.
That aside I do wonder why so many of these Islamic communities are so recognisable these days. It seemed to be after the attack on the world trade centre, the idea that you came in here and fitted in changed. Now you come here and behave in very much the same style that probably lead to the despotic regime which now allows asylum seekers from that self same regime.

you should try going to east ham in london, english is most definatly NOT the first spoken language mate.

The furthest I have been on foot in that direction was Stratford (to get the train down to Greenwich), and Bethnel Green to go to what the Black Cabbies call a T&A bar. Getting on for 10 years ago. I guess there is a lot of Eastern European languages these days?
On another point both Kay, and my daughter are down your way. Not living it up on corporate cash, but having quite a hard time of it smile

. Hours are rubbish and the food is even worse.
It would appear that:
Kay is getting feed the stale left overs from some do that Sodexo did for Ascot
the workers canteen available for the security folks only serves petrol station BLT's or Carribean food.

If you happen to be passing the stadium chuck them some Jellied eels (ewwww joke), or pie mash and liquour. BTW not knocking the Olympics as such, just the corporate rip-offs who got more than their fair share of the cash. Whilst I am getting a lot of texts, and or grousing phone calls, I think they are also having a good time as well.

..... in Britain where the language is english in the main ( just )......

You may have a point here, having accidentally put the car radio into 'traffic announcement' mode (*). Living where I do, on 30 minute drive to work, I now get at least three lots from Radio 'Cymru'. Suddenly the radio harmonics switch to Ruth Madoc, and announce total gibberish.
Now then I'm damn sure that this isn't a traffic announcement. I suspect it is more Welsh agitprop suggesting that we are arseholes, and should be slaughtered as an aphrodisiac for their favourite ewe.
Then again this is a language that is only spoken by people, and then only either in a shop when an English tourist walks in, or in the pub in Llanelli when they have lost the Rugby. France is quite big, and I dare say there are a fair number of people who speak French.
(*) Easy to do by pressing the button 'TP' but there is some weird combination of button presses that I can never remember to switch 'TP' off.

i would say at the closing ceremony stuff anyone else and just speak in english. i mean the Olympics are in Britain where the language is english in the main ( just ).
we should not entertain the french or anyone else in 2 weeks time. speak english at the start and in the middle and at the end, and nothing else!! what is so wrong in doing that?

Nice to see that you at least don't want Mandarin Starlight smile

. Keep a stiff upper lip and cut this down trodden nation some slack. God knows what the French would do if we pissed them off. They might just try and invade the IOW, or Canvey Island. Obviously they would lose as the islanders rallied a crack team of sea scouts to sink the armada with Swiss army knifes. But why make it so much more embarrassing for them, isn't it bad enough already that they are French?

I am heavily involved in UK politics (hence no picture on my profile) and can say without doubt that there is no real difference between the main parties because all the rules, regulations and directives come from Brussels. That is why I work for another party (NOT the BNP) wanting to regain our independence.

robert kilroy silk prehaps lol

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Laugh all you like but that "gentleman" (RKS) (trying to keep it polite) was kicked out of UKIP for bringing the party into disrepute.
The trouble seems to be in Britain that everyone (90% or so anyway) wants out of the EU but few are prepared to vote for any party but those wanting to stay in! Get real folks, wake up and smell the coffee! Vote for what you want, support the ONLY party offering it, or live in a dictatorship.
Your choice, but when you lose ALL your freedoms in a year or two I can hold my head high and say "I tried to stop this" - what are the rest of you going to do?
I had wondered to which party you belonged Greg. I thought it was a toss up between EDL and UKIP, and I assume it isn't EDL smile

.
I think the issue with the EU and it's 'government' here might be compared to the USA. Out in the USA, the 'Sun/Express/Daily Mail readers' talk of Federal Government in much the same terms, the 'Telegraph/Guardian/Times readers' talk of the Balkanization of the West coast, and nothing changes.
Summarising the majority feel that the Feds, are a waste of money, don't do anything, etc etc but still nothing changes. The obvious question that apply's to both our relationship with the EU, and the USA federal government, is 'why hasn't it broken up'?
The only two answers I can think of are -
1. Corporate influence on the politicians keeps the status quo
2. Somewhere somebody knows that in an increasingly globalised world, with multinational corporations, if these federal governments were broken up things would be a heck of a lot worse.
I would be interested in your thoughts :).

france is down in 10th place. so it should have only been done in English at the opening ceremony, with a touch of Mandarin.
unless my comment on another page about a finger up to france was a reason. :bounce:

As one of the vanquished nations, I mean lets face it since 1066, scoring has been France - zero, grande-Bretagne - one, perhaps we should be generous and cut them some slack? Think abut it, France's score is lower even than Scotland who didn't comprehensively lose until a fair bit later in history.
Also, speaking as somebody who's abilities at French can only be described as 'L'Ecole Garcon' (*), personally I would much rather hear French than Mandarin. The first is melodic and sexy, compared to the screech of 10,000 cats shagging while their entrails are eaten by rabid weir-wolves, just before sunrise, at the darkest point, when the night has only a new moon.
(*) French so bad that anybody who speaks French and no English doesn't have a clue what I am saying. But when pushed by a receptionist in Paris, having clearly understood the English, did provide the telephone upon hearing 'Je voudrais téléphone la chambre de mon amis'.....

On the occasions that Kay has been out with my male friends, this has been the conversation to which everybody has contributed. Thinking back there would have been Kay, myself, also my two friends Ian and Richard.
The Topic Matrix looked like -
1. Football (Kay/Richard)
2. Hi fi (Richard)
3. The exact frequencies and wave lengths that O2/Vodafone/T Mobile work at, and why the coverage for O2 and Vodafone is better ... (Ian/Richard/Me)
4. Mountain bikes (Ian/Me)
5. Cars (Richard/Ian/Me) Kay for the colours.
6. Chat up lines (all)

Why do people think there is some kind of 'magic' group of words that will work on a stranger?
What's wrong with "Hi, I'm - - - , this music/place/view is great/awful isn't it?" Or some such conversational thing. It should just be a conversation starter - not a secret code to make the other person comply with your desires.

May as well just open with "Do you come here often". Sometimes something witty is a great conversational opener.
Where is the fun in that Foxy smile

Hasn't she signed the Official Secrets Act? Surely she can't discuss such important issues like food preparation passing on information which might be useful to a terrorist :scared:

Ah Kay is a free spirit at heart the OSA holds no fears, and they haven't had to sign it anyway. Just trying to think what she did say about food preparation at the Olympics. Ah yes the restaurants have darkened glass windows, and the kitchens are huge .... make that hugely huge smile

.
The Olympic park is also huge.... none of the bus drivers know where they are going and if you ask them things they don't answer. She had to walk six miles to get passes, after a bit of debate at the other end that mileage was revised to ten, I suspect that it is probably nearer a couple of miles.
Not much really for a potential terrorist to be going on with ....... other stuff includes.
:-D she was interviewed by a Texan TV station I guess that isn't going to be on BBC then :)

I think on balance it's probably going OK.
