Sheepishly noted.

I haven't done a painstaking trawl of the site, but I can't seem to find a corresponding red bike to race you're absurdly wealthy evil mate on...

The Senna documentary last year cost me £12 in central London, around $19 at current rates - I can't imagine it has changed massively. I was as surprised as Axel Foley: "I could get blown for 12 bucks!"

He's not been to Soho for a while....

'Atomic weight of cobalt 58.9'

Indeed, it even comes on the same day the British prime minister makes a speech where he takes benefits away from the young who are struggling to find work and uses the term "culture of entitlement".

This from a landed multi-millionaire and without a hint of irony.

The Tories have always kept the poor as poor as possible. Its where they like them. In fact they'd rather everyone was poor.

I'm 300 quid a month down since the unelected fuckers took over and all I've seen is money pissed up the wall on that dreaded word: austerity. If I was a saving money consultant I'd be rich.

Got to keep the Tablian aka Mumsnet onside look at the fuss when couples earning 4 times the median Uk wage where going to have child benefit removed.

I used to work as a sub-editor for Teletext. Writing 35-character headlines for the analogue service was some of the best journalism training anybody could have. I still remember some of the best:

Spurs move right, said Fred's agent

Sizzling Gasquet batters sorry Fish

Fish Mardy from Del Potro battering

(we liked Mardy Fish losing badly at tennis, particularly if he also had a strop after)

For anybody with knowledge about British tennis out there, the following became a running joke which we rehashed at every opportunity.

Bogdanovic suffers first-round exit

That must have been used a mind-boggling number of times.

We also did subbing for Ceefax, with its extra paragraph - but I'll always have a bigger place in my heart for Teletext and its 40 x 24 character grids (for text, 35 for headlines).

Romantics ire after death of Ceefax

You're right, we shouldn't be surprised but he's becoming such a caricature of his own evil who knows where it will end?

He makes that crazy statement Rumsfeld came up with about "unknown unknowns - things that we don't know that we don't know" seem like a proper sentence when you think Met Police are trawling through a database of 300,000,000 separate News International emails in East London as we speak, 11 million of which were deleted and then recovered.

"Unknown unknowns" is a sensible statement. It quite often is the case in project risk management. That is why you add contingency.

But is there enough incentive to make Apache, jump on it ?

I agree that too much hero status is given to pilots who crash land planes, but this is about landing gear failing to deploy correctly from a spanking-new, all-electronic cockpit and plane.

There may indeed be a design issue with the new Dreamliner that was not caught in flight testing, but one anecdote doesn't make data, and even the Dreamliner still isn't as automated as your average modern Airbus. Moreover, the safety of planes is not related to their new-ness, but rather how well they're maintained. I'd rather fly on an old plane owned by an airline with good mechanics than a new plane owned by an airline with indifferent mechanics.

It's irresponsible of them to suggest that the passengers were in any sort of danger, and to suggest that this incident has any connection to a completely different (and time-honored) design that rolled out of the factory 20 years ago also landing without a gear halfway across the world.
