Big boys toys

Really big. I mean HUGE. A new military hovercraft has come into service and it's the biggest there has ever been. It's 57 metres long, weighs 500 tonnes, has five (yes five) 10,000hp gas turbine engines and positively bristles with guns and missiles and is even stealth capable. It looks exactly like the kind of military vehicle that is badly drawn by small boys everywhere and I have to say, hands in the air, I think this is bloody marvellous.So whose is it?

I'm sure that'll really help London's image more than, oh I don't know, cleaning the streets properly, not ripping everyone off for pretty much everything,...

Get over it

This gentleman seems genuinely proud of the fact that he gave up his job in order to attend every single day of the Diana and Dodi coroners inquiry with the words 'Diana' and 'Dodi' painted on his forehead and cheeks respectively. He even thinks he'll go down in history for it and that there will be a portrait of him in Kensington palace in a hundred years time. I have just one word to describe him:Twat.'Nuff sa...
